Privacy Policy
Effective Date: April 14, 2025
Trillion Lines of Code Pvt Ltd. ("we," "us," or "our") operates the Intro mobile application (the "Service"). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.
Information Collection and Use
We collect several different types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our Service to you.
Personal Data
While using our Service, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you ("Personal Data"). Personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to:
- Phone number
- Contacts (see below)
Contacts Permission (android.permission.READ_CONTACTS)
Our Service requires access to your contacts (using the `android.permission.READ_CONTACTS` permission) for its core functionality. This permission allows us to:
- Identify callers who are already in your contact list to allow their calls through.
- Verify callers based on mutual connections within the Intro network (if this feature exists).
- Enable you to manage your whitelist and call preferences effectively by selecting from your contacts.
We value your privacy: Your contact list is primarily processed locally on your device. When synchronization with our servers is necessary for specific network features (like mutual connection verification), we use secure, encrypted methods. We do not sell or share your raw contact list with unaffiliated third parties for marketing purposes.
Call Log Permission (android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG)
Our Service may require access to your call logs (using the `android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG` permission) to:
- Identify recent callers for screening purposes.
- Provide features like call history within the app.
- Improve the accuracy of our call screening service.
We value your privacy: Call log information is used solely to provide and improve the Service features. We do not share your detailed call log history with unaffiliated third parties.
Usage Data
We may also collect information on how the Service is accessed and used ("Usage Data"). This Usage Data may include information such as your device's Internet Protocol address (e.g., IP address), device type, operating system version, the features of our Service that you use, the time and date of your usage, the time spent on those features, unique device identifiers, crash reports, and other diagnostic data.
Use of Data
Intro uses the collected data for various purposes:
- To provide, operate, and maintain the Service
- To improve, personalize, and expand our Service
- To understand and analyze how you use our Service
- To develop new products, services, features, and functionality
- To communicate with you, either directly or through one of our partners, including for customer service, to provide you with updates and other information relating to the Service, and for marketing and promotional purposes (where applicable and consented to)
- To process your transactions (if applicable)
- To find and prevent fraud and security issues
- To perform core functions related to call screening and verification based on your contacts, call logs, and network.
Data Security
The security of your data is important to us. We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse.
Data Retention
We will retain your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

Children's Privacy
Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13 ("Children"). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.
