At ContactQube, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, share, and safeguard your personal information when you use our mobile application, website, and related networking intelligence services (collectively, the “Service”).
1. Information We Collect
To deliver our digitized card organization, networth tracking, and networking services, we collect information you provide directly, data synced from your device, and logs generated during your usage.

B. Device Data & Permissions We Request
Our mobile application requests specific device permissions to enable core functionalities. You can grant or revoke these permissions at any time through your device settings:
- Device Contacts (Read/Write Access): With your explicit consent, we read your device address book to display your contacts inside the app and optionally sync them securely with our servers to construct your digital network database. We may also write digitized contact details back to your device address book at your request.

- Device Location: We access your geographic location to tag networking events, meetings, or newly scanned business cards with the location where the interaction took place.
- Microphone: Access is used to record voice notes or support audio transcription features associated with contact profiles.
- Notifications: We request notification permissions to send you critical push updates, reminders of scheduled meetings, and sync status alerts.
C. AI-Scanned Information
- Digitized Card Details: Text and contact information extracted from physical card photos using our AI scanner (including name, company, email, phone number, address, and job title).

3. Data Sharing & Security
ContactQube is a secure networking environment. We do not sell, rent, or lease your personal information or your synced contacts database to third parties.
We implement administrative, technical, and physical security measures to safeguard your credentials and contact databases against unauthorized access, deletion, or loss. The database is stored locally on your device in a secure SQLite database and synced to our servers using industry-standard HTTPS encryption.
4. Data Retention & Deletion Rights
We retain your personal data and contact database only as long as your account remains active or as needed to provide our services.
You have the right to access, update, correct, or request the deletion of your personal data at any time:
- You can delete individual contact cards or clear your local cached database from within the app settings.
- You can request the permanent deletion of your account and all associated synchronized contact data by contacting us at support@contactqube.com. Once requested, your account data will be permanently purged from our active systems.
