RingLy requires specific Android permissions to function properly. Here's exactly why we need each permission and how we use it:
Required: Essential for core functionality
Purpose: Detect incoming call notifications from WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Instagram, and Messenger to apply your rules.
Privacy: We only read notification metadata (sender, app) - never message content. All processing happens on your device.
Required: For DND and volume control features
Purpose: Temporarily modify your phone's volume and DND settings when important calls come through, then restore your previous settings.
Privacy: We only change system settings temporarily and automatically restore them.
Optional: For easier rule setup
Purpose: Help you select contacts when creating rules instead of manually typing names or numbers.
Privacy: Contact data never leaves your device. Used only for local matching and rule creation.
Optional: For regular phone call support
Purpose: Detect and manage regular phone calls in addition to messaging app calls.
Privacy: We only read call state (incoming/outgoing) and caller ID for rule matching. No call recording or monitoring.
You can manage these permissions at any time:
Settings > Apps > RingLy > Permissions
