Privacy Policy

Last updated: 27 May 2026


Overview

This Privacy Policy applies to the Contact - Caller ID application ("the App"). The App operates as a Caller ID and smart contact utility. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This document explains how the App accesses, uses, and safeguards your information, and details our integration with third-party service providers.


1. Information We Access and How We Use It

To provide accurate Caller ID functionality, the App requires specific Android device permissions. We process your sensitive communication data locally on your device. We do not upload, store, sell, or share your personal phonebook or call logs with any external servers.


Contacts & Call Logs (READ_CONTACTS, READ_CALL_LOG, WRITE_CALL_LOG): Accessed strictly locally to cross-reference incoming numbers and display real-time Caller ID information, as well as to populate your recent call history within the App.


Phone State (READ_PHONE_STATE): Required to detect incoming phone calls so the App knows exactly when to trigger the Caller ID screen.


Call Phone (CALL_PHONE): Allows you to initiate calls back to identified numbers directly from the App's interface.


System Overlays (SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW): Used exclusively to display the Caller ID interface securely over other screens when a call is received.


System & Device Functionality (INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE, POST_NOTIFICATIONS, VIBRATE, WAKE_LOCK): Standard permissions used to maintain app functionality, deliver alerts, keep the screen active during Caller ID displays, and load analytics securely over the network.


2. Third-Party Services and Data Collection

While your personal communication data remains entirely local, we use third-party Software Development Kits (SDKs) provided by Google to monitor app health, deliver notifications, and serve advertisements. These services collect non-personally identifiable information, app interaction data, and device identifiers (such as the AD_ID).


You can review the privacy policies of the third-party service providers used by the App here:

Google Analytics for Firebase Privacy Policy : https://firebase.google.com/policies/analytics


Firebase Crashlytics & Performance Monitoring Privacy Policy : https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy


3. Data Security and User Control


Local Processing: Contact and call log data resides solely on your device's native databases.


Revoking Access: You maintain full control over your device permissions. You may revoke access to your Contacts, Call Logs, or the 'Draw over other apps' permission at any time via your device’s App Settings, though this will disable the core Caller ID functionality.


Data Deletion: Because your sensitive data is never stored on our external servers, simply uninstalling the application instantly removes its access to your local data and deletes any App-specific preferences.


4. Opting Out of Personalized Advertising

The App uses Google AdMob to display ads. You can opt-out of personalized advertising by resetting your device's Advertising ID or disabling personalized ads within your Android device's standard Google Settings menu.


5. Children’s Privacy

The App does not contain content intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information without consent, please contact us.


6. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in our features, SDK updates, or legal requirements. Any changes will be reflected by the updated date at the top of this policy and made available through our Google Play Store listing.


7. Contact Us

If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our data handling practices, please contact us via our official support channels provided in the Google Play Store listing.
