Privacy Policy

This policy explains what iContacts stores, what leaves your device, and the choices available to you.

Effective date: September 29, 2026
Developer: Abilmansur Akhmetov

1. Information in the app

iContacts stores the contacts you save in its local database on your device. A contact can include a name, phone number, email address, job title, organization, notes, tags, category, social handles, a selected photo, a suggested follow-up and a creation date. The app also stores preferences in local app settings. Device backups may include app data, depending on your Apple and device settings.

2. On-device Apple Intelligence

When you request contact extraction, iContacts processes your note using Apple's on-device language model through the Foundation Models framework. The app does not send your note, contact database, selected photos or generated results to Google, a developer-operated server or a cloud AI service. No API key is required.

Apple Intelligence must be enabled and its model downloaded on a compatible device with iOS or iPadOS 26 or later. Availability depends on device, language, region and system settings. The app does not provide a cloud or manual-entry alternative when the model is unavailable.

3. Voice input and permissions

Microphone access is used when you record a voice note. Apple's Speech framework converts English audio into text with on-device recognition explicitly required. If local recognition is unavailable, voice input is disabled; you can type or paste a note instead. The transcript is processed locally by Apple Intelligence when you request extraction. The app does not intentionally save an audio recording as a file or send audio to a speech server.

Contacts permission is requested when exporting a contact to Apple Contacts. A selected photo is accessed through Apple's photo picker and stored with the contact. You can manage microphone, speech recognition and Contacts permissions in iOS Settings.

4. Exports and sharing

When you export to Apple Contacts, the exported record becomes part of your system address book and may sync with accounts you have enabled there. CSV exports are created in the app's temporary storage and shared with the app or destination you choose. Those copies are subject to the destination's privacy practices.

5. Advertising, analytics and support

The app does not include advertising or third-party analytics SDKs, and the developer does not receive your contact database through the app. If you contact support, we receive the email address, message and attachments you provide and use them to respond and resolve your request. Please avoid sending private contact lists or unredacted sensitive screenshots.

The supplied website pages set no cookies and include no analytics, external fonts or advertising scripts. The hosting provider may add infrastructure scripts, for example to protect displayed email addresses. The website's hosting provider may process technical access logs, such as IP addresses and requested pages, to serve and protect the site.

6. Retention and deletion

Saved contacts remain in the app until you delete them or delete the app and its local data. Offloading the app may retain its data. You can edit or delete individual contacts in iContacts while the app is available. You can delete the app and its local data through iOS Settings even if Apple Intelligence is unavailable. The developer cannot remotely retrieve or delete your local database.

Deleting a contact in iContacts does not delete previously exported Apple Contacts records, shared CSV files, backups. Manage those copies with the relevant service. Support correspondence is retained as needed to handle your request and meet applicable obligations; you may contact us to request deletion.

7. Your choices and requests

You can stop using voice input, revoke permissions, choose what you submit for extraction, and delete local contacts. Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information, or object to or restrict certain processing. Send requests concerning information held by the developer to [email protected]. Requests about backups or data processed independently by Apple should also be directed to Apple.

8. Changes and contact

We will update this page when the app's data practices change and revise the effective date. For privacy questions, contact Abilmansur Akhmetov at [email protected].
