NobodyCalls is a privacy-first Android call screening app. Our promise is simple: you pay for the app, not with your contacts. This policy explains what NobodyCalls accesses, how that data is used, and what does not leave your device.

Short version

What NobodyCalls does

NobodyCalls uses Android's CallScreeningService to decide whether an incoming call should ring. When protection is active, calls from contacts and allowlisted numbers are allowed. Calls from unknown numbers are silenced by default, or rejected if you choose that setting.

If Android does not provide a usable caller number, if the local contact index is not ready, or if screening fails, NobodyCalls lets the call through rather than risk blocking someone you know.

Data handled by the app

Data How it is used Where it is stored
Contacts Read from the device contacts provider to build a local contact index for matching incoming calls On device only
Contact index Normalized phone numbers, display names, and contact IDs used for fast matching On device only
Incoming caller number Matched against the local contact index and allowlist during call screening On device only
Allowlist Numbers and optional labels you add so they can ring even if not in contacts On device only
Screening history Records decisions NobodyCalls made: number, decision, reason, and time On device only
App settings Protection on/off, pause time, default unknown-call action, and contact-index status On device only

NobodyCalls does not read the system call log, SMS, location, microphone, camera, photos, files, or installed-app list.

Permissions and roles

If you deny contacts permission or remove the call screening role, NobodyCalls cannot provide its core protection. You can still open the app, manage settings, and revoke permissions at any time through Android settings.

Local storage, backups, and retention

NobodyCalls stores its local database inside the app's private storage. Android cloud backup and device-transfer backup are disabled for NobodyCalls app data, so the local contact index, allowlist, settings, and screening history are not backed up by the app.
