Privacy policy for Fossify Phone

Scope

This policy describes how Fossify Phone handles information used by its features. Fossify does not provide an account or cloud service for this app.

Data processed on the device

The app reads or creates the following information only as needed for its features:

• Contacts, favorites, blocked numbers, and call-history records
• Phone and SIM state needed to place and manage calls
• Audio handled during calls when the app acts as the phone interface

Permissions and system services

Android access depends on the feature, Android version, and choices made in system settings. Relevant access includes:

• Contacts, phone, call-log, and call-management access
• Microphone and audio-setting access for calls
• Notifications and full-screen call alerts
• Overlay or phone-account access where Android requires it for call controls

Permissions can be reviewed or revoked in Android settings. Some features will stop working when their permission is unavailable.

Advertising, tracking, and data collection

Fossify Phone does not request Android's Internet permission. It contains no advertising and does not track users. The app does not send app data, usage records, or identifiers to Fossify. It does not send data to third parties for advertising, analytics, or tracking.

Other apps and services

Calls are handled by Android, the mobile carrier, and any phone account configured on the device. Fossify does not receive call content or call history.

Android, app stores, backup and device-transfer services, and any external app or provider you choose to use operate under their own terms and privacy policies.

Storage and deletion

App settings and local records remain on the device until they are changed or deleted in the app, cleared through Android settings, or removed by uninstalling the app. Files or records managed through Android system providers follow those providers' storage, deletion, and backup settings.

Logs and support

The app does not send diagnostic or usage logs to Fossify. If you report a problem, you decide what text, screenshots, recordings, or log files to share. Public issue reports are visible to anyone; contact Fossify by email before sharing private information.

Security

The app runs within Android's application and permission model. Its source code is public for review. Keep Android and the app up to date.

Changes and contact

Material changes will be published on this page with a new effective date. Questions about this policy can be sent to hello@fossify.org.
