Last Updated: January 16, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how our app CallTag – Contacts & Caller ID (referred to as “the App”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) collects, uses, and protects your information. We are committed to ensuring your privacy and keeping your data safe.

By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the information necessary for the App to function properly.

1.1 Contacts (READ_CONTACTS, WRITE_CONTACTS)

Used to:

  • Display your contacts
  • Let you add, edit, and delete contacts
  • Provide faster search and improved contact management

We do NOT upload or store your contacts on our servers.
 All data stays on your device.

1.2 Call Logs (READ_CALL_LOG)

Used to:

  • Show call history
  • Allow quick redial and call management
  • Provide call analytics inside the app (if available)

We do not store or upload any call logs to our servers.

1.3 Cloud Contact Backup (Google Drive)

If enabled, users can:

  • Backup contacts to their own Google Drive
  • Automatically backup contacts at intervals
  • Restore contacts from their Google Drive backup

What is backed up:

  • Contact names
  • Phone numbers
  • Emails (if present)
  • Other fields stored in phonebook (device-dependent)

Backups are stored in the user’s own Google Drive account, not on our servers.
We do not have access to your Google Drive files unless you grant access.
You can remove app access anytime from your Google account settings.

1.4 Blocking & Caller Details

If you block a number or view caller info, this data stays on your device unless you explicitly export it.

1.5 Caller ID (BIND_SCREENING_SERVICE / READ_PHONE_STATE / READ_CALL_LOG)

Caller ID permissions may be requested for:

  • Identifying incoming calls
  • Providing spam alerts or unknown number information (if available)
  • Blocking unwanted calls (optional)

Caller ID data is processed locally or through approved third-party APIs only if you enable the feature.
We do not sell, share, or misuse caller ID data.

1.6 Phone (READ_PHONE_STATE, CALL_PHONE)

Used to:

  • Initiate phone calls directly from the app
  • Detect ongoing calls to show call screen UI (if enabled)

We do not store any phone state information.

We may collect non-personal device data such as:

  • App version
  • Device model

This helps improve app performance and stability.

  • Personalizing features
  • Debugging, crash fixing, and analytics

We never sell your data.
