2. Data Handling and Collection

Ringr handles data in three primary categories: **SIP Telephony Data**, **Local Device Data**, and **Advertising Data**.

A. Data Handled for Core VoIP Functionality

This data is required to make and receive calls. It is processed locally or transmitted directly to Your SIP Provider, **not to SLG Developer's servers**.

• SIP Account Credentials:
  • Data Handled: SIP Username, SIP Password, and Server/Domain.
  • Purpose: To register and authenticate your client with Your SIP Provider (e.g., Telnyx).
  • Our Policy: This information is **encrypted and stored only on Your local Device** using Android's security methods. It is securely transmitted directly to your SIP Provider for registration and is **never collected or stored by SLG Developer.**
• Call Metadata (Usage Data):
  • Data Handled: Call logs (time, duration, dialed numbers, received numbers).
  • Our Policy: This data is typically generated and stored by your **SIP Provider (Telnyx)** for billing and service purposes. The App accesses and displays a local copy of this data (call history) on your device. We encourage You to review the privacy policy of Your SIP Provider regarding their retention and use of call metadata.
• Call Content:
  • Data Handled: The actual voice conversation.
  • Our Policy: Call content is encrypted using **SRTP** (Secure Real-time Transport Protocol) and transmitted directly between Your Device and the SIP Provider's network. It is **never logged or stored by SLG Developer.**

B. Local Device Data (Read-Only Access)

• Device Contacts (Address Book):
  • Data Handled: Names and numbers from Your Device's address book (requires explicit permission).
  • Purpose: To provide a user-friendly interface by matching numbers in the call log and dialer with **contact names** from Your device.
  • Our Policy: This access is **read-only** and **processed exclusively on Your Device**. This data is **never transmitted, uploaded, or stored on any external servers, including ours or our SIP Provider's.**

C. Data Collected by Third-Party Advertising Service Providers

Ringr is an ad-supported application. We use third-party Service Providers to display advertisements. These providers may collect data from your device to show You personalized or non-personalized ads.

• Identifiers: Advertising ID (e.g., Google Advertising ID), IP Address, device model, and operating system version.
• Usage Data: Information about your interaction with the ads (e.g., clicks, views).
• Purpose: To serve advertisements, cap the frequency of ads, measure campaign performance, and prevent fraud.
• Our Policy: This data collection is governed by the respective privacy policies of our advertising partners. You have the right to opt-out of personalized advertising through Your device settings (e.g., "Opt out of Ads Personalization" on Android).
• **Ad Partner:** [Insert Ad Partner Name Here, e.g., Google AdMob]. We strongly advise You to review their privacy policy: [Insert Link to Ad Partner Privacy Policy].

3. Use of Your Data

The Company uses the limited data it handles or processes for the following purposes:

• **To Provide Ads:** To serve advertisements within the App based on the data collected by our Service Providers.
• **For Performance and Diagnostics (via SDKs):** To monitor and analyze service usage trends, technical issues, and improve the App’s performance (e.g., crash reporting, which collects only anonymous diagnostic data).
• **To Comply with Legal Obligations:** To meet any applicable legal or regulatory requirements.

4. Disclosure of Your Data

We may share Your non-personally identifiable information, or information processed by Your device, in the following situations:

• **With Service Providers (Advertisers/Analytics):** We share certain device identifiers with our third-party advertising partners for monetization purposes, as described in Section 2.C.
• **For Business Transfers:** If the Company is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, Your data (if any were collected) may be transferred.
