Privacy Policy

Your privacy is our priority - we operate with complete transparency

Introduction

Thank you for choosing Ultimate Calls Blocker. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data in an open and transparent manner. This Privacy Policy explains how our app functions with respect to your data and privacy.

Zero-Collection Policy: Our app is designed with privacy at its core. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data from your device to any external servers. All data remains securely on your device. We have no backend servers or analytics tools to collect your information.

Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the application.

Data Handling

Our app operates entirely on your device and processes data locally. Here's how data is handled:

1. Local Data Storage Only

  • No Data Collection: We do not collect or transmit any data from your device to our servers or any third parties.
  • On-Device Processing: All data processing happens completely on your device, without external transmission.
  • Local Storage Only: Any information you enter into the app (like blocked numbers) is stored only on your device.

2. Permissions Access

  • Call and SMS Access: The app requires permissions to access calls and SMS messages to perform its blocking functions, but this data is never uploaded or stored outside your device.
  • Temporary Processing: When you choose to import from contacts or call logs, the app temporarily accesses this data for display purposes only, without storing or transmitting it externally.
  • Local Rules: Your blocking rules, schedules, and preferences remain strictly on your device.

Zero Data Transmission: Our app does not have any capability to send your personal information, call logs, contacts, or blocking preferences to external servers.

How Your Data Stays Protected

Our app functions entirely on your device with these privacy principles:

  • We have designed the app to function without internet connectivity for its core features
  • Your blacklist, whitelist, and all blocking rules are stored only in your device's secure local storage
  • No analytics, tracking, or monitoring features are implemented in our app
  • We do not use any third-party services that might collect user data
  • No account creation or registration is required to use the app

App Permissions

Our app requires certain permissions to function properly. Here's why we need each one:

  • READ_CALL_LOG: Needed to access your call history when you choose to import numbers from call logs. This data is only processed on your device.
  • READ_CONTACTS: Required to access your contacts when you choose to import numbers from your address book. This information is only used locally.
  • READ_PHONE_STATE: Required to detect incoming calls to apply your blocking rules. This permission is essential for the call blocking functionality.
  • ANSWER_PHONE_CALLS: (Android 8.0+) Required to block unwanted calls based on your rules. Without this permission, the app cannot block calls.
  • CALL_PHONE: Used only when you choose to call back a number from within the app's logs.
  • POST_NOTIFICATIONS: (Android 13+) Required to post notifications about blocked calls.

Important: These permissions are only used to provide the core functionality of the app. The data accessed through these permissions is processed exclusively on your device and is never transmitted to our servers or third parties. We do not collect, store, or process any of this information outside your device.

You can revoke these permissions at any time through your device settings, but doing so may limit the functionality of the app.

Zero Data Sharing

Since we do not collect any data from your device:

  • We have no user data to sell, trade, or transfer to any outside parties
  • We cannot and do not share your personal information with any third parties
  • We do not use your data for marketing, advertising, or any other commercial purposes
  • We do not have access to your call logs, contacts, or message content

This zero-collection policy ensures the highest level of privacy protection for our users.

Data Security

Since all data remains solely on your device and is never transmitted, the security of your information depends on your device security. We recommend:

  • Keeping your device secure with a strong PIN, password, or biometric authentication
  • Keeping your device's operating system and our app updated to the latest version
  • Being cautious about giving other apps or individuals access to your device

Children's Privacy

Our app is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. The app does not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children under 13.

Your Rights

Under data protection laws, you have various rights regarding your personal data. Since our app does not collect or process any personal data on our servers:

  • We have no data to provide if you request access to your information
  • We have no data to correct if you believe information is inaccurate
  • We have no data to delete upon your request
  • We have no processing to restrict based on your preferences
  • We have no data to transfer to other organizations

You maintain complete control over all your data since it remains exclusively on your device. You can delete the app at any time to remove all associated local data.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the bottom of this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.

Last Updated: July 15, 2024

Compliance with Privacy Regulations

Our app has been designed to comply with major privacy regulations worldwide:

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)

  • Minimizing data processing (all data stays on your device)
  • Providing transparency about our app's functionality
  • Ensuring you have control over your data at all times

CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act)

Since we do not collect, sell, or share any personal information, our app is inherently compliant with CCPA requirements. California residents have the same level of privacy protection as all other users - complete control over their data.

COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act)

Our app does not collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13, ensuring compliance with COPPA.
