Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 13, 2026

Last updated: July 13, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Caller Name Announcer Pro ("the App", "we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use our Android application, published under the package name com.namecaller.speak.announcer. Please read it together with our Terms of Use.

1. Information We Process Directly

We only process the categories of data needed to make the App work. The heart of the App — announcing who is calling or texting — happens on your device.

Contacts

With your permission, the App reads the name and photo associated with an incoming phone number so it can speak the caller's name and (optionally) display it on the call screen. Contact data is used locally on your device for this purpose and is not uploaded to our servers. You can exclude specific contacts from announcements in the App's settings.

Call information (phone state)

The App detects when a call is incoming and the associated phone number so it can trigger the spoken announcement, flash alert, and call-screen theme. We do not build a call log on our servers.

SMS messages

If you enable the SMS Announcer, the App reads the sender and the text of incoming SMS messages solely to read them aloud at the moment they arrive. Message content is processed locally and is not stored on or transmitted to our servers. This feature is optional and off unless you turn it on.

Device permissions we request

• Read contacts (READ_CONTACTS) — to match an incoming number to a name and announce it.
• Phone state (READ_PHONE_STATE) — to detect incoming calls and read the calling number.
• Receive / read SMS (RECEIVE_SMS, READ_SMS) — only if you enable SMS Announcer, to read incoming messages aloud.
• Camera / flashlight (CAMERA, FLASHLIGHT) — to blink the camera flash as a visual alert for calls and notifications. We do not take photos or record video.
• Notification access / run at startup / foreground service — to reliably detect calls and messages and speak announcements even when the App is in the background.
• Advertising ID (com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID) — used by our advertising partners to serve and measure ads (see Section 3).

You can revoke any permission at any time in Settings → Apps → Caller Name Announcer Pro → Permissions. Some features (such as name announcements or SMS reading) will stop working if the related permission is revoked.

Local settings and preferences

Your announcement preferences (speech speed, repeat count, excluded contacts, selected themes, silent/vibrate options) are stored locally on your device.

Support communications

If you email us, we receive your email address and the content of your message so we can respond and provide support.

2. How We Use Information

• To announce caller names, SMS, and battery status aloud.
• To display personalized incoming-call screens and trigger flash alerts.
• To remember your settings and preferences.
• To display advertising that keeps the App free, and to measure app installs and performance.
• To diagnose crashes and improve stability and features.
• To respond to your support requests.

3. Third-Party SDKs We Use

The App is free and supported by advertising and analytics services provided by the partners below. Each operates under its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review them.

For advertising, we use Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) consent flow where required by law (such as in the EEA and UK). Whether you see personalized or non-personalized ads depends on the consent you provide.

Your choices regarding these SDKs

• Reset or limit your Advertising ID: Android Settings → Privacy → Ads (path may vary by device) to reset or delete your Advertising ID and opt out of ad personalization.
• Consent choices: where a consent prompt is shown, you may decline personalized advertising.
• Withdraw by request: email waaedewabpsin3807@gmail.com to request that we stop processing your data where legally applicable.

4. What We Do Not Collect

• We do not upload your contacts to our servers.
• We do not store the content of your SMS messages on our servers — they are read aloud on-device and discarded.
• We do not collect precise GPS location.
• We do not take photos or record audio/video; camera access is used only to blink the flashlight.
• We do not collect payment card data — the App is free and does not process payments.
• We do not sell or rent your personal data to data brokers.

Note: because the App is ad-supported, the advertising and analytics partners listed in Section 3 are considered our data-sharing partners. We do not share your contact list or message content with them.

5. Sharing & Third Parties

We share data only as described here:

• Google — for app distribution (Google Play), analytics and crash reporting (Firebase), and advertising (AdMob).
• Adjust — for install attribution.
• Meta — for ad attribution and measurement.
• Legal compliance — we may disclose information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, safety, and property of our users or others.

6. Data Retention

Data processed on your device (contacts, messages, settings) remains only as long as it is on your device and under your control; uninstalling the App removes local data. Data held by our SDK partners is retained per their own policies, typically:

• Firebase Analytics — up to 14 months (Google default, configurable).
• Firebase Crashlytics — individual crash records for up to 90 days.
• Adjust — up to 24 months.
• Meta SDK — approximately 2 years.
• AdMob — per Google's advertising-platform defaults.
• Support emails — up to 24 months.

7. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on where you live (for example, under the EU/UK GDPR or the California CCPA/CPRA), you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction or deletion of your data.
• Request a portable copy of your data.
• Opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal data, including for cross-context behavioral advertising.
• Withdraw consent for ad personalization at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, email waaedewabpsin3807@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days. You may also manage device-level ad choices in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads.

8. Children's Privacy

The App is intended for users aged 13 and older (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. None of the SDKs in this App are configured for child-directed ("Designed for Families") treatment. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

9. International Users

Our SDK partners process and store data on servers that may be located in the United States, the European Union, and other countries. Where data is transferred internationally, our partners rely on legal safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or equivalent mechanisms. By using the App you understand your information may be processed in these locations.

10. Security

The App relies on Android's application sandbox and scoped storage to isolate its data, and communicates with SDK endpoints over encrypted HTTPS connections. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, through an in-app notice or the Google Play release notes. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
