Phone Dialer & Contacts App is developed by 12d Technology. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our mobile application. By installing and using the app, you agree to the practices described in this Policy.
Information We Collect
We do not collect personally identifiable information (such as name, email, or phone number). However, to provide functionality, the app may request access to certain data and device features:
a) Automatically Collected Information
- Device information (model, OS version, unique device identifiers).
- App activity (features you use, crash reports, performance data).
b) Permissions Used
Our app requires certain permissions to provide essential calling and communication features. These permissions operate only within your device to enable functionality. We do not collect, store, or share this information with anyone.
- Notification: Allows the app to send call alerts, reminders, and updates. You can manage or disable notifications anytime in your device settings.
- Foreground Service Phone Call (FOREGROUND_SERVICE_PHONE_CALL): Required to manage and announce calls while the app runs in the foreground.
- Read Contacts (READ_CONTACTS): Enables the app to display and manage your contacts for calling and communication features. Contacts remain on your device and are never uploaded or stored on our servers.
- Write Contacts (WRITE_CONTACTS): Allows adding or updating contact details directly within the app.
- Read Call Log (READ_CALL_LOG): Used to display your recent call history within the dialer. This information stays only on your device.
- Write Call Log (WRITE_CALL_LOG): Allows saving or updating call records in your phone’s call log. Call details remain private and local to your device.
- Read Phone State (READ_PHONE_STATE): Lets the app detect the status of calls to manage incoming and outgoing calls. This is used only in real time; no data is stored or transmitted.
- Read Phone Numbers (READ_PHONE_NUMBERS): Required for identifying and displaying your phone numbers or SIM information during calls. No data is collected or uploaded.
- Call Phone (CALL_PHONE): Allows the app to make direct phone calls when you choose a contact or dial a number.
- Bluetooth & Bluetooth Admin (BLUETOOTH / BLUETOOTH_ADMIN / BLUETOOTH_CONNECT): Supports call handling, contact syncing, and connectivity with Bluetooth devices and accessories.
- Use Full-Screen Intent (USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT): Enables full-screen incoming call notifications for better visibility.
- Access Network State (ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE): Allows the app to check internet connectivity before accessing online features.
- Internet (INTERNET): Required to access secure servers and trusted third-party services such as ads, analytics, or updates.
Note: These permissions are strictly used to enable the app’s features. We do not collect, store, or share any personal or sensitive information obtained through these permissions.
Data Sharing and Third-Party Services
We do not sell your personal data. However, the app may share limited data (such as device identifiers and usage data) with trusted third parties for the following purposes:
- User Acquisition: third-party services like Google Ads that help promote or advertise the app.
- Advertising & Monetization: We use ad networks such as AdMob (Google) and others to display ads. These partners may use your Advertising ID to provide personalized or contextual ads.
- Analytics: We may use analytics tools such as Firebase and Google Analytics to understand app performance and improve functionality.
Each third-party service has its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review them for more details.
Data Retention
We do not store or retain personal information on our servers. Data accessed by the app (e.g., storage files) remains on your device and is deleted only when you choose to clean it.
Disclaimer
Your phone number is never stored, shared, or transmitted outside the app. It is used solely to enable calling functionality within the application.
In-App Purchases
Our app offers in-app purchases, which are securely processed through Google’s payment system. We do not access your financial information. We only receive non-financial details, such as your name and the in-app items you have purchased.
Security
We use industry-standard measures to protect your data. However, no system can guarantee absolute security. Your device’s operating system also provides controls to manage app permissions.
Children’s Privacy
Our app is not directed toward children under the age of 13 (or the age of digital consent in your region). We do not knowingly collect data from children. If we discover such data has been collected, we will promptly delete it.
GDPR Compliance
For EU users, we comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We only collect and process your data:
- To deliver requested services
- To manage payments and support
- To improve services and get feedback
You may withdraw consent at any time, without affecting prior lawful data usage. You also have the right to request access, correction, deletion, or restriction of your personal data by emailing us.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may change this privacy policy from time to time. We encourage you to periodically review the privacy policy for the latest information on our privacy practices.
