Privacy Policy

Contacts Pro (Contacts Plus) delivers premium on-device address book organization, multi-signal duplicate cleanup, custom tagging, and quick communication with absolute zero-collection privacy.

Last updated: September 20, 2026
Your address book is personal and strictly private. Contacts Pro operates on an offline-first, local-processing architecture. All contacts, phone numbers, email addresses, organization tags, custom groups, and duplicate detection algorithms run exclusively on your physical device. We do not maintain user accounts, we do not upload your contact list, and we never sell, share, or harvest your personal relationships.

Overview and Core Philosophy

Contacts Pro (package name com.jrpapps.contactspro), also known as Contacts Plus, is developed by JRP Apps as a modern, high-performance contact management utility for Android.

Our application does not require you to sign in, create a cloud account, link social profiles, or connect to third-party databases. You maintain 100% ownership and custody of your address book at all times.

Android Permissions and Data Usage

To perform its core functions as an address book organizer, Contacts Pro requests runtime permissions in accordance with official Android security standards:

  • Read Contacts (android.permission.READ_CONTACTS): Required to display your contacts, show phone numbers and email addresses, organize contacts alphabetically, identify favorites, and run smart cleanup diagnostics. Contact data is queried directly from your device's native Android Contacts Provider and displayed in memory. It is never uploaded to any remote server.
  • Write Contacts (android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS): Required when you create a new contact, edit existing contact information (such as name, phone, email, company, notes), delete a contact, or merge duplicate entries. Changes are written directly to your device's local contacts database.

Smart Cleanup, Tags & Custom Groups

Contacts Pro includes advanced organizational utilities designed for convenience and data hygiene:

  • Multi-Signal Duplicate Detection: The app analyzes names, normalized phone numbers, and email addresses using on-device string similarity metrics (Levenshtein & token analysis). This computation occurs entirely in local device memory.
  • Safe Contact Merging: When you choose to merge duplicates, properties from selected records are consolidated and saved locally via standard Android Contacts APIs.
  • Local Tags & Custom Groups: Organizational tags (e.g. VIP, Client, Work, Family) and custom groups are saved locally on your device using encrypted Android SharedPreferences. They are not transmitted to any cloud service.

Phone Calls, Messages & External Actions

When you tap a phone number to place a call or send a message, Contacts Pro delegates the action to your device's default phone dialer or SMS messaging app using standard Android system Intents (e.g. Intent.ACTION_DIAL or mailto:).

Contacts Pro does not initiate background phone calls, does not read or intercept your SMS messages, and does not monitor call logs.

In-App Updates via Google Play

Contacts Pro integrates the official Google Play In-App Update API (com.google.android.play:app-update). This library checks Google Play Store directly to verify if a newer certified version of Contacts Pro is available and allows you to update securely without leaving the app.

This check communicates exclusively with Google Play services under Google's standard Privacy Policy and does not transmit any of your contact data.

What We Do NOT Collect or Transmit

We believe privacy policies should be explicit about what is avoided:

  • We do not upload your contacts to cloud servers, external databases, or third-party APIs.
  • We do not collect personal identifiers, device hardware IDs, or advertising IDs.
  • We do not bundle third-party tracking libraries, telemetry SDKs, or social media plugins.
  • We do not display third-party behavioral advertisements or monetize user attention.
  • We do not access your location, microphone, or camera.

Data Retention and User Control

Because Contacts Pro does not store your contacts on any remote infrastructure, your data lifecycle is completely under your own control:

  • Any contact deleted within Contacts Pro is removed from your device's native contacts repository.
  • Local organizational metadata (tags, custom group assignments, and dismissed suggestions) can be cleared anytime by clearing app data in your device's Settings > Apps > Contacts Plus > Storage > Clear Storage.
  • Uninstalling the app immediately deletes all locally stored application preferences from your device.

Children's Privacy

Contacts Pro is a utility designed for general audiences. It does not collect any personally identifiable information from any user, including children under the age of 13.

Security Commitments

We follow industry-standard security principles on Android:

  • Operation strictly within Android sandbox boundaries.
  • Explicit runtime permission requests with clear explanatory prompts.
  • In-memory processing without intermediate unencrypted disk dumps.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect product updates, new Android OS features, or legal requirements. Any revisions will be published on this page with an updated modification date.
