Contact Backup: Export to XLSX
Privacy Policy
Backup Contact to XLSX (Android app, package com.backup.contact)
Effective date: 6 October 2026
This policy explains what information the Backup Contact to XLSX app ("the app", "we", "us") uses, why, where it is kept, and the choices you have. The app is published by G P Technoedge.
- The app reads and edits your contacts only on your phone, so it can show, edit, back up, merge, import and export them.
- We do not upload your contacts to our servers. We do not run any servers that receive your data.
- Backups and exports are saved on your device, or only where you choose to send them.
- The app shows ads from Meta Audience Network, which may collect your device's advertising ID and basic device information. Your contacts are never shared with advertisers.
- We do not sell your personal information.
1. Information the app uses
Your contacts
With your permission (READ_CONTACTS and WRITE_CONTACTS), the app accesses the contacts stored on your device and in accounts synced to it (for example your Google account). This can include names, phone numbers, email addresses, postal addresses, company and job title, birthdays and other dates, websites, notes, favorite status and contact photos.
The app uses this information only to provide its features:
- showing, searching, adding, editing, favoriting and deleting contacts;
- creating backups and restoring them;
- exporting contacts to vCard (.vcf), Excel (.xlsx) or CSV files, and importing contacts from such files;
- finding and merging duplicate contacts, and finding incomplete contacts or numbers without a country code.
Contact data is processed on your device. It is not transmitted to us or to any third party by the app. Changes you make (such as edits, merges or deletions) are saved through Android's contacts system and may be synced by your device to the accounts you have set up, such as Google Contacts, under those providers' own privacy policies.
Files you choose
When you import, the app reads only the file you pick using Android's file picker. When you export or save a backup copy, the app writes only to the location you choose. When you pick a contact photo, the app reads only the image you select with Android's photo picker. The app does not request general access to your storage, photos or media.
Information stored by the app on your device
- Backups: vCard files containing your contacts (including photos), saved in the app's private storage on your device.
- Merge history: a list of contacts you merged (names and internal Android contact IDs) so that you can undo a merge.
- Settings: for example your automatic backup schedule, an optional backup folder you selected, and whether you accepted the in-app privacy notice.
This information stays on your device. It is excluded from Android's cloud backup and device-to-device transfer, so it is not copied to Google's backup servers by the app.
Advertising
The free version of the app shows banner ads provided by Meta Audience Network (Meta Platforms, Inc.). To serve and measure ads and to prevent fraud, Meta's software in the app may collect information such as your device's advertising ID, device model and operating system, IP address, language, app usage related to ads, and ad interactions (for example impressions and clicks). This information is collected by Meta and handled under Meta's Privacy Policy and the Audience Network terms. The app does not give Meta access to your contacts.
You can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of personalised ads, in your device settings under Settings → Privacy → Ads (or Settings → Google → Ads, depending on your device).
Purchases
If you buy "Remove ads", the payment is handled entirely by Google Play. We receive only a confirmation that the purchase was made (a purchase token), which the app uses to turn off ads. We never receive your card or payment details. See Google's Privacy Policy.
2. Permissions the app requests
| Permission | Why it is needed |
|---|---|
| Contacts (read and write) | To show, edit, back up, restore, import, export and merge your contacts. |
| Internet and network state | Used by the advertising SDK to load ads. Your contacts are not sent over the internet by the app. |
| Advertising ID | Used by Meta Audience Network to serve and measure ads. |
| Notifications | Only requested if you turn on birthday reminders, to notify you on a contact's birthday. |
| Biometrics / screen lock | Only used if you turn on App lock. Android checks your fingerprint, face or PIN; the app never sees or stores it. |
| Run at startup, wake lock, foreground service | Used by Android's WorkManager so automatic backups, birthday reminders and the home-screen widget can update in the background. |
The app does not request access to your location, camera, microphone, call log, SMS messages or general storage. Calls, messages and emails you start from the app open your phone's own apps; the app cannot make calls or send messages by itself.
3. How information is shared
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. Information leaves your device only in these cases:
- When you choose to share it. For example, sharing a contact or a backup file through email, messaging apps or Google Drive, or saving a backup copy to a folder or another app. The receiving service handles that file under its own privacy policy.
- Account sync by your device. Edits you make to contacts that belong to a synced account (such as Google) are synced by Android to that account.
- Advertising. Meta Audience Network collects the device and ad-related information described above.
- Legal reasons. If required by law. Since we do not hold your contacts on our servers, we cannot provide them to anyone.
4. Data retention and deletion
- Your contacts remain in your device's contacts system. You control them and can edit or delete them at any time, in this app or your phone's contacts app.
- Backups: you can delete any backup in the app (Backup → Saved backups → Delete). Automatic backups keep only the newest 10; older ones are deleted automatically.
- Merge history and settings are kept until you uninstall the app or clear its data.
- Uninstalling the app or using Settings → Apps → Backup Contact to XLSX → Storage → Clear storage deletes all backups, merge history and settings stored by the app. Files you exported to other locations are not deleted and remain under your control.
- Advertising data collected by Meta is retained under Meta's policies. You can manage it through your Meta account and device ad settings.
Because we do not store your data on our servers, there is no account to delete with us. If you have a question about your data, contact us using the details below.
5. Security
Backups and app data are stored in the app's private storage, which other apps cannot read and which Android encrypts on supported devices. Files you export are stored wherever you choose, so please keep exported files and shared backups safe. They contain your contacts' personal information.
6. Children's privacy
The app is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information through the app's advertising, contact us and we will help you address it.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EU/UK, the CCPA/CPRA in California, or India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act), you may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal data, and to withdraw consent. Most of these you can exercise directly on your device as described in section 4. You can withdraw contacts access at any time in Settings → Apps → Backup Contact to XLSX → Permissions. For advertising data, use your device's ad settings or contact Meta. You can also contact us with any request.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the app changes. We will post the new version on this page and update the effective date above. Significant changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
