Welcome to the Call Blocker: Block Numbers App ("App"), developed by Bright Solved ("Company", "we", "us", or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal data when you use our App or related services ("Services"). It also outlines your rights under applicable data protection laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA"), the Brazilian General Data Protection Law ("LGPD"), and Google Play policies. Our goal is to provide transparency about our data practices and ensure your privacy is protected.
This Privacy Policy is an integral part of our End User License Agreement ("EULA"). Any capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings given in the EULA.
We collect specific types of information to provide and improve the App’s functionality and user experience. Below is a detailed explanation of the data we collect and how it is used:
Collected Data: The App enables you to manage contact data, call logs, use it as a default dialer application, make calls, and display call history. All contact and call log-related data, including contact names, mobile numbers, call events, and other related details, are stored locally on your device. This data is not transmitted to our servers or shared with third parties, ensuring your personal information remains private.
App Usage Data: We may collect anonymized data about how you interact with the App, such as which features you use and how frequently. This data is gathered through third-party services like Firebase Analytics and is used to analyze trends, improve functionality, and enhance user experience. This data does not personally identify you and is processed in an aggregated form.
Device Information: To optimize the App’s performance and compatibility, we may collect information about your device, such as the hardware model, operating system version, and unique device identifiers (e.g., Android ID). This information helps us troubleshoot issues, ensure compatibility across devices, and improve the App’s performance.
Your privacy and data security are our priorities. Here’s how we store and protect your data:
Local Storage: All contact and call log data is stored locally on your device and is not uploaded to external servers. This ensures that sensitive information, such as your contacts and call history, remains under your control.
Anonymized Analytics Data: Any usage or analytics data collected through third-party services (e.g., Firebase Analytics) is anonymized to prevent identification of individual users.
Security Measures: We implement industry-standard security practices, including encryption and regular security audits, to protect your data. While we strive to safeguard your information, no method of data transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
The App requires certain Android permissions to function effectively. Each permission is used solely to enhance your experience and provide core functionality. Below are the permissions we use and their purposes:
Notification Access (android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS): This permission allows the App to send notifications to inform you instantly when a blocked contact attempts to call. These notifications are designed to enhance your user experience by keeping you informed of blocked call attempts.
Contacts Access (android.permission.READ_CONTACTS): This permission enables the App to access your device’s contacts locally to display and manage contact details, such as calling a saved contact. Your contact data is not stored or transmitted to third parties.
Call Screening Access (android.permission.CALL_SCREENING): This permission allows the App to implement a call screening service on Android devices. It enables real-time detection and blocking of incoming calls from specific contacts, number series, or country codes. When a blocked contact attempts to call, the App is notified instantly and can intercept the call.
Battery Optimization Exemption (android.permission.REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS): This permission allows the App to request exemption from Android’s battery optimization features, such as Doze and App Standby modes. Disabling these optimizations ensures reliable background tasks, such as real-time notifications, for uninterrupted functionality.
Call Log Access (android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG): This permission enables the App to access your device’s call logs locally to provide call history features. Your call log data is not stored or transmitted to third parties.
Phone Call (android.permission.CALL_PHONE): This permission allows the App to initiate phone calls when you choose to call a contact through the App.
Telephony Feature: The App declares the following feature in its manifest to support devices with or without telephony capabilities:
<uses-feature
android:name="android.hardware.telephony"
android:required="false" />
To provide a robust and feature-rich experience, the App integrates several third-party libraries and SDKs. Below is a comprehensive list of these dependencies and their purposes:
Glide (com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.12.0): An efficient image loading and caching library for Android. Glide is used to load and display images from network sources or local resources, supporting smooth scrolling, transformations, and animations.
Firebase SDK (platform("com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:32.0.0")): A Google platform for mobile and web applications, providing the following functionalities:
Firebase Analytics (com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics): Collects anonymized data to track user interactions and improve App features.
Firebase Crashlytics (com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics): Reports app crashes to help diagnose and fix issues.
Firebase Messaging (com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging): Enables push notifications for timely updates and alerts.
Firebase Config (com.google.firebase:firebase-config): Supports remote configuration updates to dynamically adjust App settings.

User Messaging Platform (UMP) (com.google.android.ump:user-messaging-platform:3.1.0): Manages user consent for personalized ads and data usage, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA.
We prioritize your control over your data. Here’s how we handle data retention and deletion:
Local Data: All App data, including contacts and call logs, is stored locally on your device. If you uninstall the App, all locally stored data is automatically deleted from your device.
Third-Party Data: Anonymized data collected by third-party services (e.g., Firebase Analytics, Google AdMob) is subject to their respective data retention policies. We do not control these retention periods but ensure that any data shared is anonymized to protect your privacy.
