Recline ("we", "our", or "the app") is a phone dialer application developed by Sumant Mourya. This Privacy Policy explains how information is used and protected when you use our app.
Recline processes most data locally on your device. Some limited data may be collected by third-party services such as Google AdMob and Firebase Crashlytics, as described below.
The Fake Call feature allows you to simulate an incoming call for personal use. Fake calls are generated locally on your device using a foreground timer service. They do not contact real phone numbers, emergency services, or external systems.
This feature is clearly labeled within the app and is intended for entertainment or privacy purposes only.
Recline operates primarily as an offline application. We do not collect, transmit, or store your personal data on any external servers.
The app accesses the following data locally on your device:
None of this data is transmitted to our servers or to any third party by the app itself.
Recline is a default phone replacement app that integrates with Android's Telecom framework
(InCallService). Call audio — including your microphone — is managed entirely
by the Android system during phone calls.
Recline does not record, store, process, or transmit any call audio. No audio is saved locally or shared with any server or third party. The app only controls call UI, routing (earpiece / speaker / Bluetooth), and mute state via system APIs.
Recline uses Firebase Crashlytics, a crash reporting service provided by Google, to help us identify and fix stability issues.
Crashlytics may automatically collect the following information when a crash or error occurs:
This data is used solely to diagnose and fix bugs. It is not linked to your personal identity and is governed by Google's Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Recline uses Google AdMob to display native and banner advertisements. Google AdMob may collect certain information as described in Google's Privacy Policy, including:
This data collection is governed by Google's Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
We do not have access to or control over the data collected by Google AdMob.
Advertisements are never shown during active phone calls, on incoming call screens, or over the lock screen.
Native ads appear briefly when you access certain features in app settings, with a cooldown between displays. Banner ads appear in select configuration screens. Ads are only shown when you actively interact with features and can be closed at any time.
Recline requests the following permissions, each used solely for the stated purpose:
All settings and preferences are stored locally on your device using Android SharedPreferences and internal app storage. This includes:
You can clear all app data at any time via Settings → Apps → Recline → Clear Data.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. Data may be shared only as follows:
No other data is shared with any third party.
Recline is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal data through a third-party SDK (such as AdMob or Crashlytics), please contact us at the address below.
We take reasonable measures to protect data stored on your device. Since all app data remains local, security depends on your device's system protections such as lock screen, encryption, and OS-level app sandboxing.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected with an updated "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
