Contacts Access

ContactsManager SDK provides a secure and privacy-focused way to access and manage contacts across devices while keeping user data private and protected.

​
How It Works

The ContactsManager SDK handles all the complexity of requesting permissions, accessing contact data, and managing the synchronization between the device’s contacts and your application. The process is designed with user privacy as the top priority:
  1. Permission Handling: The SDK manages the entire permission flow, requesting access to contacts only when needed and respecting user choices.
  2. Secure Processing: When access is granted, contacts are processed locally on the device with military-grade encryption.
  3. Privacy-First Approach: Contact information stays on the user’s device - neither your application, your servers, nor ContactsManager’s servers have access to the raw contact data. The user remains in full control at all times.
  4. Transparent Control: Users always maintain complete control over their data and can revoke access at any time.

​
