Privacy Policy

ShieldCall does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to external servers. All data — including your blocked numbers, call log, and settings — stays exclusively on your device.

ShieldCall requests access to your contacts solely to identify trusted callers and prevent accidental blocking. Your contacts are never uploaded, shared, or stored outside your device.

Call screening and log data is stored locally in an encrypted database on your device. You can clear this data at any time from the Call Log screen. The following permissions are used:

• READ_CALL_LOG — to support the call screening service
• READ_PHONE_STATE — to detect incoming calls
• READ_PHONE_NUMBERS — to identify your own number for spoofing detection
• READ_CONTACTS — to identify trusted callers
• POST_NOTIFICATIONS — to show blocked call alerts

Call log data is stored only on your device and is never sent anywhere. You control how long it is kept — you can clear it at any time from the Call Log screen. Blocked numbers and settings are kept until you manually remove them.

All app data is stored in an encrypted local database on your device, protected by Android's built-in security. ShieldCall has no servers and no accounts, so there is nothing to breach remotely.

ShieldCall displays ads via Google AdMob. Google may collect device identifiers and usage data to serve relevant ads. This is governed by Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy. ShieldCall itself does not share any personal data with advertisers.

ShieldCall is not directed at children under the age of 13. Since ShieldCall does not collect any personal data from any user, no information from children is collected either.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the app with an updated date. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
