1About this policy
Area Code Atlas ("the app", "we") helps you look up US, Canadian and Caribbean (+1) area codes, local times and the best time to call. This policy explains what information the app uses and what happens to it. By using the app you agree to this policy.
2Information we do not collect
- We do not ask you to create an account.
- We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos or precise location.
- Phone numbers you type into the Number Analyzer are processed only on your device. They are not sent to us or to any server.
- We do not run our own servers and we do not receive any of your data.
3Information stored on your device
To work properly the app saves the following only on your phone:
- Favorite area codes, recent searches and saved comparisons
- Passport stamps you collected and the date you collected them
- Your settings (theme, font size, animations, haptics) and the starting place you chose for the call planner
- A note that you accepted this Privacy Policy
This data never leaves your device. You can delete it any time by clearing the app's storage in Android settings or by uninstalling the app.
4Advertising (Google AdMob)
The app is free and shows ads from Google AdMob: banner, native, interstitial, app open and rewarded ads. The rewarded video is always optional.
To show and measure ads, Google and its partners may collect and use data such as your device's advertising ID, IP address, device and app information, and how you interact with ads. We do not receive this data.
- Consent. Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA and the UK) the app asks for your choice through Google's consent form before showing ads. You can change your choice later in Settings → Ad privacy settings.
- Advertising ID. You can reset or delete it in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads.

5Maps
Map screens download map tiles from OpenStreetMap servers over the internet. When tiles are requested, the tile server can see your IP address and the app's package name, like any website you visit. The app does not send your location, because it never asks for location permission.
6Third-party services
| Service | Purpose | Policy |
|---|---|---|

The app does not request location, camera, microphone, contacts or storage permissions.
8Area code information
Area code data is bundled inside the app. It is a starter dataset for general information. Please verify important details with the official North American Numbering Plan Administrator at nanpa.com. An area code shows where a number was first issued, not where its owner is now.
9Children
The app is a general-audience tool and is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
10Your choices and rights
Because we hold no personal data about you, there is nothing for us to access, correct or delete on our side. You can:
- Clear all on-device data by clearing the app's storage or uninstalling it.
- Change your ad consent in Settings → Ad privacy settings (where shown).
- Reset your advertising ID or opt out of ad personalization in Android settings.
For data that Google holds, you can use Google's data and privacy controls.
11Changes to this policy
If we change this policy we will update the date at the top of this page. Significant changes will also be shown in the app.
