Zangi Private Messenger iOS and Android Applications Privacy Policy
Licensed application end user license agreement
Secret Phone Inc. ("Zangi" or "we" or "us" or "our" or other similar pronouns) offers users with mobile
devices ("You") calling and text messages services ("Services") transacted through a licensed
application (“Licensed Application") for mobile devices. Our Licensed Application is licensed, not sold,
to You for use only under the terms of this license, unless a product or service is accompanied by a
separate license agreement, in which case the terms of that separate license agreement will govern,
subject to Your prior acceptance of that separate license agreement. We reserve all rights not expressly
granted to You.
1. Scope of License
This license granted to You for our Licensed Application is limited to a non-transferable license to
use the Licensed Application on any mobile device that You own or control and as permitted by the Usage
Rules set forth in our Terms and Conditions (the “Usage Rules”). This license does not allow You to use
the Licensed Application on any mobile device that You do not own or control, and You may not distribute
or make the Licensed Application available over a network where it could be used by multiple mobile
devices at the same time. You may not rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute or sublicense the Licensed
Application. You may not copy (except as expressly permitted by this license and the Usage Rules),
decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, attempt to derive the source code of, modify, or create
derivative works of the Licensed Application, any updates, or any part thereof (except as and only to
the extent any foregoing restriction is prohibited by applicable law or to the extent as may be
permitted by the licensing terms governing use of any open sourced components included with the Licensed
Application). Any attempt to do so is a violation of our rights. If You breach this restriction, You may
be subject to prosecution and damages. The terms of the license will govern any upgrades provided by us
that replace and/or supplement our Services, unless such upgrade is accompanied by a separate license in
which case the terms of that license will govern.
Any use of Zangi Private Messenger and related services for ILLEGAL purposes is STRICTLY PROHIBITED.
Any communication made through the Zangi Private Messenger is private and Zangi does not bear any
responsibility about the content.
2. Consent to Use of Data
You agree that we may collect and use technical data and related information, including but not limited
to technical information about Your mobile device, system and application software, and peripherals,
that is gathered periodically to facilitate the provision of software updates, product support and other
services to You (if any) related to the Licensed Application. We may use this information, as long as it
is in a form that does not personally identify You, to improve our Services offered to You (for further
information on our privacy policy click here).
3. What data Zangi Messenger app collects and how it is used
User privacy is our mission, therefore we have done our best to avoid any personal or private data
collection. However, some optional features like user Profile (Name/ Surname/ Photo) and Invite "Friends
via SMS" / "Invite" in Contacts need some data access to fulfill their operations:
3.1 User Profile name Name/ Surname/ Photo / Bio (Optional): Users can choose to skip adding
their Name/ Surname/ Photo / Bio in their Profile and communicate absolutely anonymously, but when
filled out, they are to be aware that the Name/ Surname/ Photo /Bio in Zangi Messenger Profile is shared
with other Zangi users, who knows the user’s Zangi Private number. How? When you call or message each
other, Zangi shows the Name/ Surname / Photo of the sender in the conversation/ push/ call screen. All
listed plus Bio are seen in the your profile when other users tap on your profile avatar in the app.
None of the listed is shared to any 3rd party outside of the Zangi Messenger system except for legal
compliance cases.
How to delete your Profile name Name/ Surname/ Photo? Just remove the data from your App Profile
Section by tapping on the Edit icon. This data will also be removed when the user deletes his/her Zangi
account from the Zangi Messenger Settings → Privacy → Delete account.
3.2 Copying the user's Phone book Contacts (Optional, with user Consent) within the same device into
Zangi Messenger's Contacts section located on the same device, NOT leaving the user's device
storage, NOT sent to the servers, NOT shared to 3rd parties: In order to use the features
"Invite Friends” → “Invite By SMS" and "Invite" → “Invite By SMS” in Zangi Messenger, users need their
Phone Book Contacts to send invitations. To copy a user's Phone Book contacts into Zangi Messenger app’s
Contact section, located on the user’s phone storage, the app will ask the user for permission within a
pop-up, explaining the usage and with the options to Accept or Decline. This will happen when the user
has just installed the app and has tapped on "Invite Friends” and chosen “Invite By SMS", or after
they've tapped “Continue” when navigating to the Contact’s tab, or if the user has chosen “Decline” and
then has tried to use one of the listed features or Contacts.
“Accept” will mean giving Consent to a local copy of user's Phone Book contacts into Zangi
Messenger app’s Contact section one time, and to maintain runtime synchronization of your contacts,
i.e., whenever you add/remove a contact from your Phone book, allow Zangi Messenger App do the same in
the Zangi Messenger's Contacts section, not bothering the user by asking the same question every time
they sync runtime.
“Decline” will mean there will be no phone Book Contacts to send invites to. The app's Contacts
tab's “All contacts” section will remain blank, while Zangi contacts (Zangi virtual numbers) with whom
you have interacted via Zangi messenger may appear in the Contact tab “Zangi Contacts” section.
What if you have changed your mind about Contact permission? Let's say you gave permission one
time then changed your mind, how to revert? Navigate to your phone’s App section, search for “Zangi
Messenger” → Permissions → and remove the Contacts permission, then save. This action won’t remove
already copied contacts from the App Contacts section (it’s a local copy never leaving your device), but
it will prevent runtime synchronization with your phone book contacts. Next time you use any of the
above-listed features, the App will ask for permission again.
How to delete “All Contacts” from your Zangi Messenger App: it is a local copy, so you can delete
only when deleting the app or deleting your account from Zangi Messenger → Settings → Privacy → Delete
account, which will remove your account from the system completely, as well as you App data from local
device.
3.3 Registration data and technical identifiers. On sign-up the app assigns the user a country
code, push token and device ID, as well as gets your device type and / or model, operating system and
Zangi app version. All listed in section 3.3 data is securely stored on servers and is used for
technical and support purposes unless otherwise required by law.
4. Termination
The license is effective until terminated by You or us. We will terminate your rights under this
license without notice if You fail to comply with any term(s) of this license. Upon termination of the
license, You shall cease all use of the Licensed Application, and destroy all copies, full or partial,
of the Licensed Application.

Illegal activity counter measures
Zangi reserves the right to block any user suspected in illegal activity regardless of Premium
subscription status. The basis of reasonable suspicion may be an Authority /Police officer /Law
enforcement agency claim delivered via email or hard copy, regardless of the country of jurisdiction,
and/or other Zangi user complaint, when the latter is justified with some factual evidence like a chat
screenshot. In case of such a reasonable suspicion Zangi support is authorized to block the user
immediately, unless otherwise requested by law. The Blocked user is automatically signed out of the app
and is not able to login again unless unblocked. It is the responsibility of the blocked user to check
active subscription status and cancel from Google / Apple subscriptions profile, which is outside of the
Zangi Private Messenger, thus not affected by blocking.
In the event of a criminal investigation, when Authority /Police officer /Law enforcement presents an
official request supported by the evidence of the ongoing investigation/ subpoena /court order
requesting to share any available in the system data, Zangi will share the following data of the
suspected in the crime user: Account registration date, account deletion date, name completed in the
profile, bio/status text completed by the user, Premium subscription status, subscription transaction
ID, subscription/renewal date, device platform, device model for Android and operating system version
for iOS, push token, Device ID, which is the Android ID for Android users and system generated for iOS.
If the user is an old user who has signed in
via email/phone number, also the sign-in email /phone number will be provided. Users with Zangi virtual
numbers DO NOT have any assigned email or phone number. Authority requests supported by duly served
supporting documents must be sent to
legal@zangi.com in
English language.
