Naam.ai uses third-party gateways for payment processing which you need for purchasing plans. These payment gateways will handle all the transactions securely and comply with all the industry standards to protect your data.
When you make a purchase, we may collect certain information through these gateways such as transaction ID, email address, card number, name on the card, payment status to confirm and manage your subscription. Although, we do not store or have direct access to your card (credit/debit), or other sensitive payment information.
All payments are subject to the terms and privacy policies of the respective third-party payment providers. We recommend reviewing their policies to understand how your payment information is handled. If you have any concerns regarding payment security, please contact our support team.
You may provide us with your user identifier information regarding, or to enable your usage of, certain third-party services (together with a mapped photo where applicable) e.g. social networking services and payment services, in order for the Services to interoperate with such third-party services. You may use such third-party services to create your user profile or log in to our Services, share information with such third-party services, or connect your user profile with the respective third-party services. Such third-party services may automatically provide us with access to certain personal information retained by them about you (e.g., your payment handle, unique identification information, content viewed by you, content liked by you, and information about the advertisements you have been shown or may have clicked on) and you agree that we may collect, use and retain the information provided by these third-party services in accordance with this Privacy Policy. You may be able to control the personal information you allow us to have access to through the privacy settings on the respective third-party service. We will never store any passwords created for any third-party services.
Where the Naam mobile applications (“Naam Apps”) are obtained from sources other than the Apple App Store or Google Play, you may share the names, numbers, photos, Google IDs, and email addresses contained in your address book (“Contact Information”) with Naam by enabling the Naam Enhanced Search Functionality. Where the Naam Apps are obtained from the Apple App Store or Google Play, we do not share any user Contact Information. In addition to Contact Information, if you choose to activate the use of a third-party service, such as social network services, within the Services, Naam may collect, store, and use the list of identifiers associated with said services linked to the Contact Information in order to enhance the results shared with other Users.
Please note that no contact information other than the phone numbers and their attached names, photos, Google IDs, and email addresses will be collected and used from your address book. Other numbers or information that may be contained in your address book will be filtered away by our safety algorithms and will therefore not be collected by Naam. Please also note that you can always choose not to share Contact Information with Naam, and if you have shared such information and change your mind at a later stage, you can delist your number or opt out to render your entire Contact Information unavailable for search in the Naam database.
You may provide us with various information in connection with your interaction with our Services. For example, you may, through tagging functionality, associate a phone number that is not registered in the Naam database or belongs to a User with a business or name, and you may report a phone number as spam or some other attribute to be included in spam-blocking directories. Naam may also, from time to time, offer you the opportunity to provide information on your experience from using the Services or to participate in contests, surveys, or other promotions. Naam will collect the information you provide in connection therewith, as well as any other information you provide through the Services or when you communicate or interact with us.
We collect the following data from you:
Caller Information: For caller ID purposes, we collect the caller's phone number. Naam also collects the additional categories of information described in Section 1.2 above and, where You enable the default messaging feature, the message-related information described in Section 1.9.
Device information: We may collect information about your device, such as the device type, operating system, and unique device identifiers.
We use your data to:
Display caller identification information when you receive a call.
Enhance app functionality, improve the user experience, and develop new features.
We do not share your personal data with third parties without your explicit consent, except as required by law or to comply with a legal obligation. We may use third-party service providers to support our app's functionality, but they are contractually bound to protect your data.
The app may request the following permissions:
Contact permission: Used to provide contact information and the caller's name.
Call permission: Used to manage your calls.
Notification permission: Used to notify you about your call and show status.
Read call logs: Used to display your call history with spam filtering.
Location permission: Used to provide location-relevant caller ID, spam-detection, and (where applicable) advertising features, as described in Section 1.2. This permission is optional where the underlying feature is optional.
SMS/Messages permission (default SMS app role): Requested only if You choose to set Naam as Your default messaging app. Used to display sender identification and spam/fraud warnings on messages, and to let You send, receive, and manage messages from within the app. This permission is optional; Naam’s caller ID and spam-call features work without it and can be revoked at any time via Android’s default-app settings.
These permissions are also used to help personalize ads based on your app usage.
For example, your call logs and device identifiers may be accessed by our advertising SDKs (such as
AdMob) to detect fraud and ensure safe ad delivery.
We only request permissions that are necessary for app functionality and ad-supported features. You can disable specific permissions at any time through your device settings.
In-App Disclosures:
At the time of requesting sensitive permissions (e.g., Contacts, Call Logs, SMS/Messages, or default
messaging app role), the app will display an in-app dialog explaining why the permission is needed and
how the data will be used, including for advertising purposes where applicable.
These disclosures comply with Google Play’s Data safety and AdMob policies.
Our app uses Google AdMob and other third-party advertising partners to serve ads. These partners may collect and use data such as your device information (e.g., device ID, IP address), location, and usage data to display relevant advertisements within our app.
By using our Services, you agree to the use of your data by AdMob as outlined in Google’s Privacy & Terms. We may also share anonymized data with these partners to improve ad targeting and relevance.
If You choose to set Naam as Your default messaging application on Android, You grant Naam the system-level permissions Android requires for that role, including the ability to read, send, receive, and manage SMS and MMS messages on Your device. Naam uses this access solely to: (a) display sender identity and spam/fraud indicators on incoming messages; (b) send and receive messages You compose or receive through the app; (c) maintain and improve community spam-message detection; and (d) allow You to manage your messages within the app.
Message content transmitted to and stored on Naam’s systems is encrypted in transit and at rest. Access to stored message content is restricted to a limited number of authorized personnel and automated systems strictly for the purposes described in this Section.
Naam does not read, review, or monitor the content of Your messages for any purpose other than those stated above, and does not use message content for advertising personalization. Messages are retained on Naam’s systems only for as long as needed to deliver them to You or, where you have enabled spam reporting, to maintain the community spam directory; message content is not otherwise retained or shared with third parties.
You may remove Naam as Your default messaging app at any time through Android’s Settings > Apps > Default Apps menu, or from within the Naam app. If you do so, Naam will stop receiving new SMS/MMS content going forward. Once You remove Naam as Your default messaging app, Naam app will not access your messages. We do not store any data that is associated with your messages.
Naam may use the personal information collected to provide, maintain, improve, analyze, and personalize the Services to its Users. More specifically, Naam may use such information to:
We may use the collected information to comply with applicable laws to enforce our agreements and protect and defend the rights or safety of Naam, its Users, or any other person and verify provided User profile information with third-party providers and ensure technical service functionality and data accuracy, perform trouble-shooting and prevent or detect fraud, security breaches or illegal activities.
In addition to the sharing and disclosure of personal information that is included as part of the functionality of the Services as described in section 2 above, Naam may disclose personal information if we believe such action is necessary to:
We transfer information to trusted vendors, service providers, and other partners who support our business and Services, such as providing technical infrastructure services, bug testing, analyzing how our Services are used, measuring the effectiveness of Services and Ads, as well as potential partners who may wish to work with us to provide other services. Naam will always require these third parties to take appropriate organizational and technical measures to protect personal information and to observe applicable legislation.
Naam may also share personal information with third-party clients, agencies, and networks. Such third parties may use this information for analytical and marketing purposes, including but not limited to providing measurement services, fraud detection, targeted ads, for improving their products and services. The information may be collected by such third parties by use of cookies or similar technologies.
We may disclose and transfer your Information to our associated or affiliated organizations or related entities and to any third party who acquires our business, whether such acquisition is by way of merger, consolidation, or purchase of all or a substantial portion of our assets.
We share certain non-personally identifiable data (such as user engagement metrics and device identifiers) with our advertising partners, including AdMob, for the purpose of delivering targeted advertisements. These partners may use technologies like cookies or SDKs to collect information directly from your device. Message content accessed through the default messaging app role is not shared with AdMob or any other advertising partner under any circumstances; only non-content metadata described in Section 1.2 may be used as set out above.
Naam does not sell personal information, including message content, to third parties.

If a User chooses to disable the Enhanced Search Functionality, the Contact Information made available by that User is disabled and will thereafter not be available for search in the Naam database. If any person does not wish to have their name and phone numbers made available through the Enhanced Search or Name Search functionalities, they can exclude themselves from further queries by notifying Naam via its website at Naam.ai or as set forth in the contact details below.

In order to provide the Services, Naam will transfer, process, and store personal information in a number of countries, including but not limited to India, and may also use cloud-based services for this purpose. Naam may also subcontract the storage or processing of your information to third parties located in countries other than your home country. Information collected within one country may, for example, be transferred to and processed in another country, which may not provide the same level of protection for personal data as the country in which it was collected. You acknowledge and agree that Naam may transfer your personal information as described above for purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy. We take all reasonable precautions to protect personal information from misuse, loss, and unauthorized access. Naam has implemented physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in order to protect the information, including that the information will be stored on secure servers and protected by secure networks to which access is limited to a few authorized employees and personnel. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to affect You, Naam will notify the Data Protection Board of India and affected Users as required under applicable law, and will take reasonable steps to mitigate the impact of the breach.
