This Privacy Policy outlines how the Contacts Launcher App (referred to as the "Application"), developed by EverCoreTech (referred to as the "Service Provider"), handles user information. This Privacy Policy explains how the Application handles information while providing quick and convenient access to your contacts and calling features on Android devices.
The Application is intended to function as a contact launcher, allowing users to access, organize, and interact with contacts more efficiently. Respecting user privacy is a fundamental principle in the design of the Application. For that reason, the Application has been developed to process only the information necessary to deliver its intended functionality.
By installing or using the Application, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and agree to the practices described below.
To provide its core functionality, the Application may access certain information already stored on your device. Depending on your usage and the permissions granted, this information may include:
The Application uses this information only to perform the features requested by you. The Application does not upload or transmit your contact information to the Service Provider's servers. Contact information accessed from your device is used locally to provide the Application's contact and calling features, except where a specific feature or third-party service described in this Privacy Policy requires information to be transmitted.
Location Data. When you use the weather feature, the App may use a location you manually choose or your device's current coordinates to obtain weather information. To provide the requested forecast, these coordinates are securely sent through our forecast server to Open-Meteo (https://open-meteo.com), a third-party weather data provider. Our forecast server uses the location information only to request weather data on your behalf.
The coordinates are transmitted without your name or account information and are not used by us to determine or establish your identity. Open-Meteo handles the request according to its own privacy practices and terms (https://open-meteo.com/en/terms).
Before location coordinates are shared with Open-Meteo for the first time, the App will request your consent. If you do not provide consent, your coordinates will not be sent to Open-Meteo and the weather forecast feature will not be available. You can provide consent later through the App if you previously declined.
Any locations you save in the App are kept locally on your device and are not uploaded to our servers.
Contacts Launcher may automatically collect limited technical information required to maintain reliable operation and improve overall performance. This information may include:
Third-party services used by the Application may automatically collect technical information such as IP address, device information, crash information, and usage information, as described in Section 5.
The information processed by the Application is used exclusively for legitimate operational purposes related to providing and improving the Application. These purposes include:
The Application is not designed to collect unnecessary personal information beyond what is reasonably required for these functions.
Location Data. When you use the weather feature, we process your location information to obtain and show the weather forecast for the location you request. To provide this service, your coordinates may be sent to Open-Meteo, an independent weather data provider, through our forecast server. We use location information only for providing the requested weather service and do not use it to identify, monitor, or build a profile about you. Your location information is not shared with advertising partners for advertising purposes.
The Application requests only those Android permissions that are necessary to provide its intended functionality. Please note that disabling certain permissions may affect the availability or performance of specific features.

The Application requests these permissions solely to support its features and does not request permissions that are unrelated to its intended purpose.
The App may integrate external services for analytics, crash reporting, and advertising. These may include:
This app uses the Microsoft Clarity mobile SDK for analytics and performance measurement. Through this SDK, the app automatically records app interaction and usage information such as device details (device model and operating system version), app version, session events, screen interactions (taps and gestures), and diagnostic information, including crashes and errors. This information is securely transmitted using industry-standard encryption and is shared with Microsoft solely for analytics and app performance improvement, where it is processed in accordance with the Microsoft Privacy Statement. The app does not intentionally access or share contacts, messages, or personal content through Microsoft Clarity. Analytics functionality may be enabled only after obtaining user consent, where required by applicable laws. For more information about how Microsoft collects and uses your data, visit the Microsoft Privacy Statement
The App uses the GNews API to retrieve and display news articles and related information within the App. Requests to the GNews service are made through our server using our API credentials. We do not use the GNews API to collect, identify, or track you, and we do not provide your personal information to GNews for advertising or profiling purposes. News content is provided by GNews and its respective sources and may be subject to their own terms and privacy practices. https://gnews.io/legal/privacy-policy
The Service Provider does not sell personal information for monetary consideration. The Application may share limited information with third-party service providers when necessary to provide advertising, analytics, crash reporting, security, or other technical services described in this Privacy Policy. These service providers process information according to their applicable privacy policies and contractual or technical safeguards. Information may only be disclosed under limited circumstances, including:
Whenever information is shared with authorized service providers, appropriate contractual or technical safeguards are implemented to help ensure that information is handled responsibly and only for legitimate operational purposes.
Contact information, call history, and other information accessed from your device for the Application's core functionality generally remain on your device and are retained according to the storage and settings of your device unless you modify or delete them.
The Service Provider does not maintain an account database for Application users. Information collected by third-party services such as analytics, advertising, and crash reporting services is retained according to the respective service providers' applicable policies and retention practices.
Where information is stored or processed by the Service Provider, it is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, or enforce applicable agreements.
The App requests access to your device location only when it is needed to provide weather information for your current location. You can deny or later revoke location access through your device settings. If location access is not provided, weather information based on your device's current location will not be available, although manually selected locations may remain available where supported. We do not retain your device coordinates on our servers after they are no longer required to obtain the requested forecast. Locations that you save within the App remain stored locally on your device.
