Privacy Policy
Last Updated: September 10, 2026
1. Introduction and Scope
Welcome to Smart Phone Dialer & Contacts (the “App”), developed by Siversky Donets (“we,” “us,” or “our”).
This Privacy Policy explains how the App handles information when you use our easy phone dialer for calls, contacts, and call management. The App is designed so that core contact, call-log, and dialing features work locally on your device. We do not require you to create an account or provide personal information. Any data recovery, import, or export operations are performed locally on your device.
This Policy applies to the Android version of the App and is intended to comply with Google Play Developer Program Policies (including User Data and Data Safety requirements), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act / California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), and the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA).
By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
2. Information We Collect
We designed the App so that it does not require you to create an account or submit personal information to us.
Local device data: Contacts, call logs, and related telephony data are accessed and processed only on your device so the App can display contacts, show call history, make or answer calls, and manage call-related screens. We do not store or transmit your contact or call-log data to our own servers.
No account data: The App does not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or other identifiers that you would normally provide when creating an account.
Technical and usage data via third parties: When you use the App, certain third-party services (Firebase, Google AdMob / AdX, Meta/Facebook Audience Network) may automatically collect limited technical information such as device type, operating-system version, approximate location derived from IP address, advertising identifiers, crash reports, and anonymized usage statistics. These services operate under their own privacy policies (see Section 6 and Section 7).
Purchase-related information: If you make an in-app purchase or subscribe, Google Play may share limited non-personal information with us (for example, subscription status or validity) so we can unlock premium features. We never receive your payment-card details or Google account password.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal data such as precise location, health information, or financial account numbers beyond what is necessary for the telephony and advertising features described in this Policy.
3. Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we (and the third-party services we use) process information on the following legal bases:
Consent – for advertising identifiers, personalized ads (where offered), and certain analytics.
Legitimate interests – to operate and improve the App, detect crashes, provide core dialing and contact features, and prevent fraud or abuse.
Contractual necessity – to deliver in-app purchases and subscriptions you have requested.
Legal obligation – when we must respond to lawful requests from authorities.
You may withdraw consent at any time through your device settings or by contacting us.
4. Permissions We Use in Our App and Why
The App requests the following Android permissions. Each permission is used only for the stated purpose. You can revoke most permissions at any time in your device Settings > Apps > Smart Phone Dialer & Contacts > Permissions.
POST_NOTIFICATIONS – Allows the App to show notifications about incoming calls, missed calls, and important app updates so you stay informed.
VIBRATE – Enables vibration for notifications and haptic feedback when you press keys on the dialer keypad.
READ_PHONE_STATE – Lets the App detect when a call ends so it can display the call-end screen and update call status correctly.
READ_CONTACTS and WRITE_CONTACTS – Required to read your device contacts so the App can display names, numbers, and photos, and to allow you to create, edit, or delete contacts locally. Contact data stays on your device; we do not upload it to our servers.
READ_CALL_LOG and WRITE_CALL_LOG – Needed to show your call history and let you manage (delete or mark) call-log entries locally. Call-log data is not transmitted to us.
CALL_PHONE, ANSWER_PHONE_CALLS, READ_PHONE_NUMBERS – Enable the App to place outgoing calls, answer incoming calls, and identify available phone accounts/carriers so you can choose which line to use. These permissions are standard for a dialer app.
BLUETOOTH, BLUETOOTH_ADMIN, BLUETOOTH_CONNECT – Allow the App to connect to Bluetooth headsets or car kits during calls and to enable/disable Bluetooth when needed for call audio.
FOREGROUND_SERVICE, FOREGROUND_SERVICE_PHONE_CALL, FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC – Keep a persistent notification and maintain an active service while a call is in progress, and support background import/export of contacts without interruption.
USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT – Displays a full-screen incoming-call interface even when the device is locked.
WAKE_LOCK and DISABLE_KEYGUARD – Turn the screen on and show the incoming-call UI above the lock screen so you can answer or reject a call quickly.
INTERNET and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE – Required for Firebase services, Google Play in-app updates, and the loading of advertisements.
The App also declares the optional hardware feature android.hardware.telephony so it can function on devices that support phone calls.
5. Data Storage and Security
Core contact, call-log, and dialing data are stored and processed only on your device. We do not maintain our own servers that store your personal contact or call information.
Third-party services (Firebase, Google advertising services, Meta) store the limited technical and advertising data they collect on their own secure servers, subject to their respective privacy policies and security measures.
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to the limited nature of the data involved. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; we encourage you to keep your device locked and updated.
6. Third-Party Libraries & SDKs Used in Our App
The App uses the following third-party libraries and software development kits. Each is listed with its purpose and a link to the relevant privacy policy or terms where available.
AndroidX libraries (core-ktx, appcompat, material, constraintlayout, activity-ktx, lifecycle-*, fragment-ktx) – Official Android Jetpack components that provide modern UI, lifecycle management, and ViewModel support so the App remains stable across configuration changes.

We do not control the data practices of these third parties. Please review their policies for full details.
7. Advertising, Analytics, and Tracking Technologies
The App displays advertisements through Google AdMob, AdX, and Meta (Facebook) Audience Network. These partners may use advertising identifiers (such as the Google Advertising ID) and other technical data to deliver ads, measure performance, and (where permitted) show personalized ads.
Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics collect anonymized app-usage and crash data so we can understand which features are used and fix bugs.
You can limit ad personalization and reset your advertising identifier in your device settings (Google > Ads or equivalent). You may also opt out of interest-based advertising through industry tools such as the Network Advertising Initiative or Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out pages.
8. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The App itself does not use traditional browser cookies. Third-party advertising and analytics SDKs may use local storage, advertising identifiers, or similar device-based technologies that function like cookies. These technologies help measure ad performance and app usage. You can manage them through your device settings and the opt-out mechanisms described above.
9. Detailed Information on the Processing of Your Personal Data
Contact and call-log data – Processed solely on your device to provide dialer, contact-list, and call-history functionality. Never transmitted by us.
Telephony state and call control – Used in real time to show incoming-call screens, answer/reject calls, and display post-call information.
Technical device data – Shared with Firebase, Google, and Meta for analytics, crash reporting, performance monitoring, and advertising.
Purchase status – Limited non-personal information received from Google Play solely to unlock paid features.
We do not sell personal information.
10. Data Retention and Deletion
Local contact and call-log data remain on your device until you delete them or uninstall the App. Uninstalling the App removes all associated local data.
Third-party services retain the technical and advertising data they collect according to their own retention schedules (typically for analytics, fraud prevention, and legal compliance). You may request deletion of data held by those services by contacting them directly or by using the rights described in Sections 12 and 13.
11. Payment Terms and In-App Purchases
The App offers in-app purchases and paid subscriptions.
All payments and subscriptions are handled safely by Google Play Billing. We do not collect, store, or see your payment details such as card information or Google account passwords.
Subscriptions:
Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel them before the next billing date. You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime from your Google Play account settings. If you cancel, you will continue to enjoy premium features until the current billing period ends.
Purchase Information:
Google may share limited, non-personal purchase details with us, such as subscription status or validity, so we can unlock premium features.
Refunds & Cancellations:
All refund requests must be made through Google Play, following Google Play’s refund rules.
Third-Party Sharing:
We do not share your purchase or subscription information with any third parties, except when required by Google for payment verification.
Policies:
All in-app purchases and subscriptions follow the Google Play Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy.
12. User Rights Under GDPR
If GDPR applies to you, you have the right to:
Access the personal data we (or our processors) hold about you.
Rectify inaccurate data.
Erase data under certain conditions (“right to be forgotten”).
Restrict or object to processing.
Data portability.
Withdraw consent at any time.
Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
To exercise these rights, contact us at the email below. Because most personal data never leaves your device, the primary way to delete App-related data is to uninstall the App and clear residual data in device settings.
13. User Rights Under CCPA/CPRA
If you are a California resident, you have the right to:
Know what personal information is collected, used, shared, or sold.
Delete personal information (subject to exceptions).
Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (we do not sell personal information).
Non-discrimination for exercising your rights.
Correct inaccurate personal information.
Limit the use of sensitive personal information.
To submit a request, email us. We will verify and respond as required by law. You may also designate an authorized agent.
14. “Do Not Track” (CalOPPA)
The App does not currently respond to “Do Not Track” signals because there is no consistent industry standard. You can control tracking-related identifiers through your device advertising settings and the opt-out tools mentioned in Section 7.
15. International Data Transfers
Third-party services such as Google and Meta may transfer data to the United States or other countries. These transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions where applicable. By using the App you acknowledge that such transfers may occur.
16. Protection from Malware and Network Misuse
We design the App to operate within Android security boundaries and do not intentionally introduce malware. Network access is limited to legitimate third-party services (Firebase, Google Play, advertising networks). We encourage you to download the App only from the official Google Play Store and to keep your device updated.
17. Links to Other Websites and Apps
The App may contain links to third-party websites or open external apps (for example, Google Play or a browser). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. Please review their policies before providing any information.
18. Children’s Privacy
The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
19. Compliance with Legal Obligations and Law Enforcement
We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of ourselves, our users, or others. In such cases we will disclose only the minimum information necessary.
20. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last Updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
