What vContact does
vContact helps you create a verified profile and keep matched contacts updated in your Google contacts on your device. Each account belongs to one person and one verified phone number, and vContact acts only on your own device and your own profile.
Information you provide
When you sign in, you provide your phone number and the verification code we text you. 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 edits contacts in your Google account that it can update safely, and it never deletes a contact.
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. Your profile and photo are stored on the vContact service so they can be shared with people you match or share with. To sign you in, vContact sends your phone number to our SMS provider, MSG91, only so it can deliver your verification code by text message.
Sharing your profile
You can share your profile as a link or QR code. This is a deliberate choice you make: anyone you give the link or code to can open it and see the profile you have published — your name, photo, title and company, verified phone number, and any contact details you added, such as additional phone numbers, email addresses, websites, addresses, and important dates. Your verified number is shown because it is how the people you share with recognize and reach you.
The link is not listed publicly or indexed by search engines and cannot be guessed; it opens only for someone who already has it.
You decide whether and with whom to share, and deleting your account makes any links you shared before show that your profile is no longer available.
Retention and network effects
Uninstalling the app or losing access to this device stops sync on this device, but it does not delete your account. Your profile stays on the vContact service, people who have your number can still match with you, and your latest profile can still appear in their phonebooks. Copies already saved on other devices also remain until those users edit or remove them. To stop all of this, delete your account.
Your choices
You can revoke contacts permission from Android settings at any time. You can also delete your account from the app or on the Delete account page. Deletion permanently deletes your profile and photo and stops phone-number discovery. Links you shared before will show that your profile is no longer available, and contact copies other people already saved stay on their own devices. We keep only your verified phone number, shown nowhere, so that signing in again with it reconnects you to people already synced with you; email support to erase it too.
