ACR Phone is an advanced phone app with many features such as call recording, call blocking, SIP calling. ACR Phone respects your privacy and does not collect or transfer any data to us or to any third party unless stated below.

When ACR Phone is NOT the default phone app

ACR Phone does not access any of your personal data and cannot be used without setting it as default phone app.

When ACR Phone is the default phone app

Phone call log access

ACR Phone acquires call log access when it is set as default phone app due to how Android grants access rights to 3rd party apps. ACR Phone uses phone call log to show and edit call history as required. It does not transfer any call log data outside your phone unless you setup a cloud service as described below.

Contacts access

ACR Phone acquires contact access when it is set as default phone app due to how Android grants access rights to 3rd party apps. ACR Phone does not need contact access to function properly. However, providing contact access significantly enhances its usability.

When granted, ACR Phone uses your contacts to match call logs, incoming or outgoing caller information to contacts. ACR Phone does not collect or transfer any contact data to us or to any third party by default unless you enable optional feature called Enhanced caller ID.

When the optional feature called Enhanced Caller ID is enabled, ACR Phone collects and uploads your contact list until you disable Enhanced Caller ID feature. Uploaded contact list used to create a global contact database to identify callers and spam calls as further explained at Sync.me privacy policy. When you disable Enhanced Caller ID feature ACR Phone stops uploading and deletes your contact information from the service.

Calendar access

ACR Phone has an optional feature called Add to calendar allowing it to create a calendar event after each call. This feature requires Calendar Write Access permission.

When granted, ACR Phone uses that permission to create an event after each call with details of the call such as contact name, phone number and notes. ACR Phone does not transfer your calendar data to outside your phone or third parties.

NLLApps Online Spam DB
