vContact

Privacy

This page explains how vContact handles data today, in plain language.

What vContact does

vContact helps you create a verified profile and keep matched contacts updated in safe Google contacts on your device. It is designed as a single-user utility that runs for you, not a shared family account.

Information you provide

When you sign in, you provide your phone number and one-time password. You can also provide your profile details, such as your name, company, title, phone numbers, email addresses, websites, addresses, important dates, and profile photo.

Information from your phonebook

When you grant contacts access and start sync, vContact reads your device phonebook. For matching, it sends normalized phone numbers from in-scope contacts to the vContact service. It does not upload names, email addresses, postal addresses, notes, or photos from your device phonebook during matching.

What stays on your device

Your encrypted access token, your last known profile snapshot, match results, sync metadata, and managed-contact safety baselines are stored locally on this device. vContact only writes to Google raw contacts that it considers safe to manage.

How data is used

vContact uses your data to authenticate you, find other vContact users in your phonebook, download matched profile data and photos, and keep those matched Google contacts current on your device.

Retention and network effects

Signing out or uninstalling stops future sync on this device, but it does not automatically retract profile information that was previously synced to other users' phonebooks. Those copies may remain on their devices until they edit or remove them.

Your choices

You can revoke contacts permission from Android settings at any time. You can sign out from the home screen menu to clear your local session and cached sync state from this device.
