Privacy Policy

At Contacts Only, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our application handles your information.

1. Information Collection and Use

Our app is designed to provide call blocking services without collecting or storing your personal data on any external servers.

Contacts Data

  • Purpose: The app requires access to your contact list (READ_CONTACTS permission) to identify if an incoming call is from a known contact.
  • Handling: This process happens entirely on your device. We do not upload, share, or store your contacts on any server. The data is only used locally to make a "Yes/No" decision to allow or block a call.

Call Screening

  • Purpose: We use the Android CallScreeningService API to intercept incoming calls.
  • Handling: The phone numbers of incoming calls are processed locally in real-time to compare them against your contact list.

Usage Statistics

  • Purpose: The app tracks the number of calls blocked per day to show you stats.
  • Handling: These counts are stored locally on your device using encrypted local storage (DataStore). We only keep data for the last 7 days; older entries are automatically deleted.

2. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share any user information (contacts, phone numbers, or stats) with third parties. All filtering and processing occur locally on your smartphone.

3. Data Retention

All data generated by the app (settings and stats) stays on your device. If you uninstall the app, all locally stored data is removed.

4. Security

We value your trust in providing us access to your contact list for filtering purposes, and we strive to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. However, remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

5. Third-Party Advertising (Google AdMob)

We use third-party advertising companies, such as Google AdMob, to serve ads when you use our application. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other applications in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

  • Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our app.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to your users based on their visit to our app and/or other apps on the Internet.
  • You can opt out of personalized advertising by adjusting your device settings or visiting the Google Ads Settings page.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes.
