DATA RETENTION

Then we send those phone numbers and contact names to our servers temporarily. We then try to match that data with information in our databases. We NEVER store any of that data that is sent to us from the contact scan. If we find a match and you elect to share the data, then it gets saved on our servers for use in the app.
