Privacy Policy

The 2ndPhone mobile application and website (https://2ndphone.com) is owned and operated by RubikLab Co., Ltd. Our Privacy Policy explains how we, and some of the companies we work with, collect, use, share and protect information in relation to our websites and 2ndPhone Software (collectively, the "Service").

This agreement is in effect as of January 01, 2025.

Information We Collect

(1) Contacts Information

You need to allow 2ndPhone to access your address book on your mobile device. By authorizing the access you can easily send messages and make calls, forward messages and files, share contacts information, or initiate a conference call to your friends and family. A simplified copy of the address book with information such as the name, phone number, and ringtone of each contact will be stored and used to display the identity of the caller who's in the user's contact book(the caller will also be automatically added to the user's 2ndPhone friend list) in the push notification. We create a cryptographic hash value of the transmitted information to prevent any misuse. The information will not be shared with any third parties and will be removed permanently once the user disables the app.

(2) Personal Information

When you install 2ndPhone Software on your mobile device, maybe you are required to provide a mobile phone number to receive an access code via SMS. The phone number will be saved on the 2ndPhone servers. The phone number is also used to discover other 2ndPhone users who have your phone number in their address book.

When you create a 2ndPhone account, we may ask for personal information, like your name or email address. We may also collect demographic information, such as age, gender, or preferences. We might also ask you to create a publicly-visible profile, which may include your name and photo. These information might be used to provide personalized content and information to you and others, which could include online ads or other forms of marketing.If you register with a third-party account, we may collect the information such as age, gender, address or portrait from your third-party account and use it to complete your profile on 2ndPhone.

(3) Device Information

When you install 2ndPhone on your device, we may automatically collect certain information(on the premise of having obtained the necessary system permissions) from your device, including an Android, Apple iOS, or other ID, device maker and model, mobile web browser type and version, the operating system’s maker and version, MCC (Mobile Country Code) information, the mobile application name and other technical data about your device to diagnose or fix technology problems. To provide certain calling/texting service in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, we may automatically collect information(on the premise of having obtained the necessary system permissions) including IP address, MAC address, location information, email associated with the device, phone number associated with the device and use them as part of the required identification to detect, investigate, prevent, or address illegal activity.

A list of specific mobile applications installed on your device will also be collected to provide certain features, such as signing in from a third-party service or sharing messages on other third-party apps and services.

The information listed above(phone number associated with the device, etc) may be uploaded and securely stored in our servers and will never be shared with 3rd parties. You can delete the data by deactivating the account or contacting us.

(4) Usage Information

We automatically collect usage information that does not identify an individual user. For example, when you install 2ndPhone on your device, we automatically collect information such as your device type, operating system version and type, IP address, certain unique device identifiers (such as Android ID, MAC address, and IDFA) and carrier and other information for your device. We use this information to enhance the services we offer and to help us understand how people use the Service.

(5) Analytic Information

We use third-party analytic tools to help us measure traffic and usage trends for the Service. These tools collect information sent by your device or our Service, including the web pages you visit, 2ndPhone software screens you access, and other information that assists us in improving the Service. We collect and use this analytic information with analytic information from other users so that it cannot reasonably be used to identify any particular individual user.

(6) Cache

When you use 2ndPhone to send a multimedia message (such as sharing a picture, or sharing a video clip), the multimedia content will be cached in 2ndPhone servers for enhancing the responding speed of our service and increasing the effectiveness of performance. The cached content will be removed after a certain period of months. 2ndPhone does not provide any means for you to delete the cached content manually.

(7) Share Data

Share Data is the data that you provide for use with 2ndPhone, such as text, audio, photos and videos you make available through the app or contacts you add or import for use with 2ndPhone, which might be used to ensure our services are working as intended and aid in more efficient delivery of our services, and also may be made available to third parties by your actions when using 2ndPhone.
