Privacy Policy
Contacts Backup · Last updated July 23, 2026
Contacts Backup ("the app", "we") helps you back up, clean, sync, and transfer your contacts. This policy explains what data the app touches, where it goes, and what never happens to it.
Your contacts
- Stay on your device. Browsing, cleaning up, and backing up your contacts happens on your device, and manual backups are saved there too.
- Google sync. If you connect a Google account, the app reads and writes your Google contacts only to perform the sync you asked for — nothing more. Our use of Google account data follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use rules: we never share it except to provide the feature, and we never use it for advertising.
- Sending contacts to another device. When you share contacts, the selected contacts are held by our service just long enough for the other device to receive them, and are used for nothing else. Only someone with your transfer code can receive them — share it only with your intended recipient.
- We never sell your contacts. Your contact data is never sold, rented, shared with advertisers, or used to build marketing profiles.
Usage statistics
We collect anonymous statistics about how the app is used — for example which features are opened and whether a purchase was made — to help us improve it. Recordings of how screens are used automatically hide your personal content: contact names, numbers, and photos are never visible. Purchases are processed entirely by Apple; we never see your payment details. If you arrived through an Apple ad, Apple tells us so in a way that doesn't identify you.
None of this includes your contacts, and the app does not track you across other companies' apps or websites.
Purchases and subscriptions
- Lifetime plan — a one-time payment. It is not a subscription, never renews, and is never charged again. Yours forever.
- Weekly plan — an auto-renewing subscription with a duration of 1 week. The price is displayed in your local currency before you buy, and payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase.
- The Weekly plan renews automatically every week unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple Account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the current period ends, at the current price.
- You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime in your Apple Account settings. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
- Refunds are handled by Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.
- All payments are processed by Apple — we never see or store your payment details.
Data retention and deletion
- Local backups live on your device and are deleted when you delete them or uninstall the app.
- Contacts written to your Google account or iPhone contacts belong to you and stay under your control in those services.
- To request deletion of transfer files or analytics data associated with your device, email us and we will action it promptly.
Permissions
- Contacts access — required for every core feature; requested via the standard iOS prompt and revocable anytime in Settings.
- Camera / Photos — only used when you choose to scan a QR code (camera) or read one from an image (photo library).
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
Changes
We may update this policy as the app evolves; the date above always reflects the latest revision. Material changes will be noted in the app.
