Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 9, 2026

The short version: Caller ID is designed to help you identify incoming calls and block spam numbers. Your privacy is our utmost priority: we NEVER sell, share, or upload your private contact list or personal phonebook to third parties, data brokers, or public directories. All core call-handling and contact-lookup processes happen locally on your device.

This Privacy Policy explains how the Caller ID application ("Caller ID", "the app") collects, uses, and protects your information. Caller ID is published by Inception - AI Software ("we", "us", or "our").

1. Information We Do Not Collect

We respect user privacy and adhere strictly to Google Play Developer Policies. Specifically, our application does NOT:

  • Require personal account registration, logins, or social profile linkage
  • Upload, sell, or monetize your personal phonebook or address book contacts
  • Collect sensitive personal information such as SMS message contents, financial data, or passwords
  • Track your precise GPS location

2. Permissions & Data Usage

To provide caller identification, dialer, and spam-blocking capabilities, Caller ID requests certain sensitive device permissions with your explicit consent:

  • Phone & Call State (READ_PHONE_STATE, ANSWER_PHONE_CALLS): Allows the app to detect incoming and outgoing call states in real time, display caller details, and handle call actions as requested by the user.
  • Contacts (READ_CONTACTS): Used locally to match incoming phone numbers against your address book so you can immediately see when a saved contact is calling. Your contacts remain securely on your device and are never transmitted to external servers.
  • Call Log (READ_CALL_LOG, WRITE_CALL_LOG): Required if you use the app as your default dialer or call management tool, allowing you to view and manage your recent call history and identify unidentified numbers from missed calls.
  • Call Screening & Spam Blocker: Enables the app to compare incoming phone numbers against local spam criteria or known spam patterns to filter unwanted telemarketing, fraud, and robocalls.
  • Display Over Other Apps (SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW): Needed to render the floating Caller ID dialog and caller identification information directly on your screen when an incoming call is received.

3. Local Data Storage and Security

All user configurations—including custom blacklists, call preferences, and cached caller tags—are stored in your device's private application sandbox. We implement industry-standard security practices to ensure your local preferences remain protected. When you clear the app cache, clear app data, or uninstall the application, all locally saved preferences and logs are permanently removed from your device.

4. Third-Party Services & Advertising

To keep Caller ID free for all users, we may display third-party advertisements served by Google AdMob. These advertising partners may collect and process non-personally identifiable technical information (such as Google Advertising ID, operating system version, and anonymous interaction metrics) in compliance with privacy regulations.

Google handles this data independently under its own terms. For further details on how Google processes ad data, please review the Google Privacy Policy & Partner Sites Terms.

5. Analytics & Diagnostics

We may receive anonymous, aggregated crash analytics and performance logs (such as via Google Play Console) to diagnose application crashes and improve stability across different Android phone models. This diagnostic data contains no personal identifiers, contact numbers, or call contents.

6. Children's Privacy

Caller ID is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children. If you believe that a minor has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will promptly ensure appropriate steps are taken.

7. Your Rights & Choices (GDPR & CCPA)

Under global privacy regulations including GDPR and CCPA, you retain full sovereignty over your data:

  • You can grant, modify, or revoke phone, contact, and call log permissions at any time via your device's Android Settings > Apps > Caller ID > Permissions.
  • Because we do not maintain a cloud database of personal records, there is no remote profile to delete. Uninstalling the app permanently purges all local app data.
  • You can opt out of personalized advertisements via your device's Google Ads settings.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect app updates, new Android OS requirements, or changes in legal regulations. Any revisions will be published immediately on this page with an updated effective date.
