FAQs
Whoscall is liable for the security of all user data. Here is our double encryption approach: AES encryption is implemented on mobile devices and SSL encryption is used during data transmission. All of the data you provide will be compiled into anonymous statistical analysis information that is non-personally identifiable. We work hard to ensure your privacy and data security.
Whoscall requests for app permissions from Android users to provide full range of product features. For example, we request you to set Whoscall as the default call app to identify incoming calls faster and ensure phone number blocking works correctly. We request for SMS permission to enable SMS source identification.
A scope of the application of each permission requested will be provided to you beforehand. You may cancel or refuse to grant such permissions at any time if you do not accept how we collect, process and use your data, but you will not be able to enjoy the full range of product features afterwards. Please refer to the following features enabled by the permissions we request for.
In addition, due to system restriction, we only request for permission to use APNs from iOS users.
