CallMiss: Missed Call Auto SMS

This privacy policy applies to the Android app CallMiss: Missed Call Auto SMS (package name com.ericfreeman.appCallMiss, the "App"), published on Google Play by Eric Freeman Apps ("we", "us"). It explains what data the App accesses, why, and what happens to it.

What the App does

The App automatically sends an SMS reply, written by you, to people whose calls you miss. You turn this feature on and off yourself. The App has no user accounts and no sign-up.

Data the App accesses on your device

The App only accesses the following data after you give permission, and only to provide the automatic reply feature:

• Call log (READ_CALL_LOG): to detect that a call was missed and to get the caller's phone number.
• SMS (SEND_SMS): to send your reply message to that number from your own phone. The App does not read your SMS messages.
• Contacts (READ_CONTACTS, optional): only when you turn on "Reply to contacts only", to check whether the caller is in your contacts and to show their name in History.
• Notifications: to show an ongoing notification while the automatic reply service is running.

Before asking for Call log and SMS access, the App explains what it will access and why, and asks for your consent.

Where this data is stored

Missed call numbers, contact names, the replies sent and their times are stored only on your device, so you can see them in the App's History screen. We never upload, sell or share your call log, SMS messages, contacts or reply history. You can delete this data at any time with "Clear History" in the App's settings, or by uninstalling the App.

Data collected by third-party services

The App is free and shows ads. It uses these Google services, which may collect device information as described in their own privacy policies:

• Google AdMob (ads): advertising ID, device and app information, IP address, and ad interactions, used to show and measure ads.
• Google Analytics for Firebase (usage statistics): app interactions, device model, OS version and app version, used to understand how the App is used.
• Firebase Crashlytics (crash reports): crash traces, device model and OS version, used to fix bugs.

None of these services receive your call log, SMS messages, contacts or reply history. The App does not collect precise location and does not use artificial intelligence to process your data.

Your choices

• Turn off the automatic reply at any time with one tap.
• Revoke Call log, SMS, Contacts or Notification permissions in Android settings at any time.
• Reset or delete your advertising ID in Android settings to limit personalised ads.
• Clear the reply history in the App, or uninstall the App.

Data retention and deletion

On-device data stays on your device until you clear it or uninstall the App. Data collected by Google services is kept according to their policies (Firebase Analytics data is kept for up to 14 months by default). To request deletion of any data associated with your use of the App, email ericfreemanapps@gmail.com.

Children

The App is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

Reply history is kept in the App's private storage on your device. Data sent to Google services is transmitted over encrypted connections.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. Changes are published on this page with a new effective date.
