Begone operates entirely locally on your iPhone, which means:

• No Personal Information Collection: I do not collect any personal information, including but not limited to your name, address, email address, or phone number.
• No Contacts Access: Begone does not require access to your contacts, and therefore, I do not collect any data from your contacts list.

• No Cloud Storage: Since I do not collect any data, no information is uploaded, stored, or processed on my servers.

Your Choices and Controls

As Begone does not collect or store any data, there are no accounts to manage, no data to request, and no preferences to set regarding data collection.

Data Security

Even though Begone does not access or store your data, I recommend keeping your device and applications updated to ensure the highest level of security.

Addendum: Reporting Extension

Information Collected Through the Reporting Extension

• Reported Calls: When you use the Reporting Extension to report a call, the caller number is transmitted to me to be used in the Auto Protect database.
• Anonymization Process: Prior to any use, reported calls are anonymized and stripped of any personally identifiable information to protect your privacy.

Important Note: Any submission through the Reporting Extension can only be initiated by you and cannot be started automatically. This ensures that you have full control over what information is shared.

How I Use the Information

• Auto Protect database: The numbers are added to a community driven database to help detect and block spam calls.

Your Responsibility

Caution Against Sensitive Information: Please exercise caution and do not submit any sensitive or personally identifiable information through the Reporting Extension.
