Contacts (“the App”, “we”, “our”, or “us”). Your privacy is extremely important to us, and we are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains in detail how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you use our application.
This policy has been designed to comply with Google Play policies, applicable data protection laws, and best industry practices. By installing or using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how information is handled when you use the Contacts application. Our goal is to provide a useful, secure, and transparent user experience while minimizing data collection to only what is strictly necessary for app functionality, analytics, and advertising.
We respect user privacy and do not misuse personal data. The app primarily works locally on your device, and most of the data it accesses never leaves your phone. Any data collected through third-party services is limited, anonymized where possible, and used only for clearly defined purposes.
Scope of This Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to:
The Contacts mobile application
All features and functionalities available within the app
Third-party services integrated into the app
This policy does not apply to third-party websites, apps, or services that may be linked within the app. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of those third parties separately.
Information We Collect
We are committed to data minimization. The app itself does not collect or store sensitive personal information such as contacts, call history.
However, limited non-personal and technical information may be collected automatically through trusted third-party SDKs integrated into the app.
