Futels Shield privacy policy

1. What the app handles

• Messages and links you check. They are checked on your phone and are not saved or sent. They disappear when you clear the box or close the app. This includes text you share to the app from another app.
• Numbers you block. The list is kept on your phone, in the app’s own private storage. Only the app can read it.
• A log of calls the app handled. For each blocked or silenced call, the app keeps the number, the time and what it did, for the last 100 calls. It is on your phone only, and you can clear it any time in the app.

2. What the app does not do

• No account and no sign-in.
• No analytics, no advertising and no tracking of any kind.
• It cannot use the internet. The app does not have Android’s internet permission, so your phone itself would stop it from sending anything out.
• It does not read your contacts, your text messages, your call history or your location.
• It does not listen to or record calls.

3. Call protection

If you turn on call protection, Android asks you to make Futels Shield your “caller ID & spam app”. From then on, Android tells the app the number of each incoming call, only so it can compare it with your block list. It never sees what is said on a call. You can switch this off at any time in Android’s settings, under Apps, then Default apps, then Caller ID & spam.

4. Backups

The app’s data is left out of Android’s cloud backups and out of phone-to-phone transfers, so your block list does not leave your phone.

5. Deleting your data

Remove numbers or clear the log inside the app. Uninstalling the app removes everything it stored.

6. If this changes

Future versions may offer extra features, such as warnings about numbers other people have reported. If a feature ever needs to send or receive data, it will be optional, the app will ask first, and this page will be updated before it is released.

7. A helper, not a guarantee

Futels Shield looks for the common signs of scams, but it cannot catch every one, and it can sometimes be wrong. If you are unsure about a message or a call, check with the company through its official app or helpline.
