Welcome to the Phone Call & Contacts ("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 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 ensure transparency in our data practices and protect your privacy.
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.
What We Collect: The App accesses your device’s contact list, including names, phone numbers, email addresses, and other details stored in your contacts.
Purpose: This data enables you to manage, edit, and save contact information directly within the App, streamlining communication and organization.
How We Use It: Contact data is used exclusively to provide core App features, such as displaying, editing, or organizing contacts. This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to external servers.
What We Collect: The App accesses your call history, including phone numbers, call duration, and timestamps for incoming, outgoing, and missed calls.
Purpose: This allows you to view and manage your recent call history within the App, enhancing your ability to track communication.
How We Use It: Call log data is used to populate the call history section and support features like redialing or saving new contacts from recent calls. This data is processed locally and not stored externally.
What We Collect: We may collect phone state information, such as whether your device is in an active call (incoming or outgoing) or idle.
Purpose: This data helps the App manage call-related features, such as displaying call status or enabling call management tools.
How We Use It: Phone state information is used in real-time to enhance call functionality within the App and is not stored or shared.
What We Collect: The App accesses your device’s storage to read and write data, such as contact profile pictures or other media files associated with contacts.
Purpose: Storage access enables saving and retrieving media files to enhance contact management, such as attaching photos to contacts.
How We Use It: Data is read or written locally to support features like saving or displaying contact-related media. No data is uploaded to external servers.
What We Collect: We collect device-related data, including hardware model, operating system version, and system settings.
Purpose: This information is used for crash reporting, troubleshooting, and optimizing the App’s performance across various devices.
How We Use It: Device data helps us identify and resolve issues, ensuring a smooth and reliable user experience.
What We Collect: The App requires internet access to enable features like cloud synchronization (if enabled), analytics, and ad display.
Purpose: Internet access supports syncing contacts to the cloud (if you opt-in), collecting anonymized usage data, and serving relevant advertisements.
How We Use It: Network data ensures seamless operation of online features and helps us improve the App through anonymized analytics.
What We Collect: The App may send notifications to your device.
Purpose: Notifications alert you about important updates, such as new features, service announcements, or reminders related to the App.
How We Use It: Notifications enhance user engagement by keeping you informed about App-related events. They are not used for advertising purposes.
All contact-related data (e.g., contacts, call logs) is stored locally on your device and is not uploaded to external servers. Any analytics data collected via third-party services (e.g., Firebase) is anonymized to protect your privacy.
We implement robust security measures, including encryption and regular security audits, to safeguard your personal data. However, no method of data transmission or storage is entirely secure, and we encourage you to keep your device updated and secure.
The App requires specific permissions to deliver its core functionality. Below is a detailed list of permissions and their purposes:
