NoeSpam Privacy Policy

NoeSpam is a spam call blocker for Android, made by me, Zakwan Oebit (Zakwanoe). This policy explains what the app does with your data. The short version: no account, no ads, no analytics, and no servers of mine. Everything stays on your phone unless you choose to save or sync it.

What the app uses on your phone

• Incoming calls. When your phone rings, Android passes the caller's number to NoeSpam, as your call screening app, so it can decide whether the call rings. NoeSpam keeps a log of the latest 300 calls it screened and a count of blocked calls per day, on your phone.
• Contacts (optional permission). Used so that your contacts always ring. NoeSpam looks numbers up on the phone; it doesn't copy or keep your contacts.
• Call log (optional permission). Used to count earlier calls from unknown numbers when it looks for a series, to let numbers you have called through, and to bring back the calls it blocked before a reinstall. It reads the call log on the phone and never sends it anywhere.
• Notifications (optional permission). Used for silent notifications about blocked calls.
• Your rules, allowed numbers, profiles and settings, stored on the phone.

None of this is sent to me or to anyone else.

When data leaves your phone

Only in these cases, and each one is your choice:

1. Backup files and exports. When you save a backup or export a block list, the file goes where you choose. It holds your rules, allowed numbers, profiles and settings, not your call log or statistics.
2. Premium sync and backup with Google Drive, described in the next section.
3. Android's own backup. With Premium, NoeSpam also places a copy of the same backup in Android's backup to your Google account. Android encrypts it end to end with your screen lock and brings it back on a new phone or after a reinstall. You can turn this off in your phone's Google backup settings.
4. Premium purchases, checked by RevenueCat, described under Purchases.

Google Drive sync and backup

When you tap Connect Google Drive, Google asks you to let NoeSpam use the hidden app folder in your Drive (the drive.appdata scope). That access only covers files NoeSpam creates itself; the app can't see, open or change anything else in your Drive.

Google also gives the app your account's ID (the basic openid scope): a number Google uses for your account, without your name or email address. NoeSpam doesn't store it; it only turns it into the code that links Premium to your account, described under Purchases.

What is stored there:

• one file per phone, with your rules, allowed numbers and series, profiles, and the settings that stay the same on every phone;
• one full backup per day for the last 7 days, so you can go back to an earlier day.

Your call log, NoeSpam's own call history and the statistics are never stored there. The files are used only to keep your phones the same, to restore your data on a new phone or after a reinstall, and to go back to an earlier day. The app talks to Google directly; I don't run a server and never receive these files. They aren't used for advertising, aren't sold, and aren't read by anyone.

NoeSpam's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy , including the Limited Use requirements.

To remove it:

• Stop syncing in NoeSpam's settings stops any further syncing.
• To delete the files, open Google Drive on the web, go to Settings, then Manage apps, find NoeSpam and choose Delete hidden app data.
• To take back NoeSpam's access, remove it under third-party connections in your Google Account.

Purchases

Premium is a one-time purchase through Google Play. Google handles the payment; I never see your payment details.

To check purchases without a server of my own, NoeSpam uses RevenueCat . The app only contacts RevenueCat when you open the Premium screen, buy or restore Premium, connect your Google account, and, once you have Premium, when the app opens, to keep its status up to date. RevenueCat then receives the purchase record from Google Play, an ID for you (below), and basic technical details such as the app version, Android version, language and country. It uses them to tell the app whether Premium is active and to give me sales totals. It never receives your calls, contacts, rules or Drive files. See RevenueCat's privacy policy .

Until you connect a Google account, that ID is a random one the app creates on your phone. When you connect Google Drive, or tap Bought on iPhone? Connect your Google account on the Premium screen, the app uses a one-way code made from your Google account's ID instead (a SHA-256 hash), and a purchase made under the random ID moves to it. NoeSpam on iPhone makes the same code from the same account, so one purchase unlocks Premium on every phone where you connect that account. The code can't be turned back into your account, and RevenueCat never receives your name, your email address or the account ID itself.

What NoeSpam doesn't do

• No NoeSpam account and no sign-up. Connecting a Google account is optional, for sync and backup and to use Premium on your other phones.
• No ads, and no analytics or crash reporting services. RevenueCat is used for purchases only.
• No location, microphone or camera access.
• No selling or sharing of your data.

Your choices

• You can take back any permission in Android's settings; NoeSpam keeps working with less.
• You can clear the call history in the app, under Calls.
• To have RevenueCat delete its record of your purchase, including the code made from your Google account, email me. Premium comes back from Google Play the next time you tap Restore.
• Uninstalling NoeSpam deletes everything it kept on the phone.

Children

NoeSpam isn't made for children under 13 and doesn't knowingly collect their data.
