END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR THE LICENSED APPLICATION

Dial offers mobile device users call and messaging services transacted through a licensed mobile device application. Our Application is not sold, and is to be downloaded to be used only under the terms of this license, unless a product or service is accompanied by a separate license agreement, in which case the terms of this separate license agreement will govern, subject to your prior acceptance of that separate license agreement.


1. Scope of the License

This license is non-transferable for use on any mobile device that you own or control and as permitted by the Usage Rules set out in our Terms and Conditions. This license does not permit you to use the Application on any mobile device that you do not own or control, and you may not distribute or make the Application available over a network where it can be used by multiple mobile devices at the same time. You may not rent, lease, lend, loan, sell, redistribute or sublicense the Application.

Any attempt to do so is a violation of our rights.

If you breach this restriction, you may be subject to prosecution and damages. The terms of the license will govern any updates provided by us that replace and/or supplement our Services, unless such update is accompanied by a separate license, in which case the terms of that license will govern.

3. What data do we collect, how do we use it and why is it legal to do so?

We collect some personal information when you sign up to Dial after Accepting the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy terms, and while you are using some functionality of the Dial.

Categories of personal data we collect and process:

  • » Registration and account information: your phone number (mandatory), name (optional), profile picture(optional), which are visible to other Dial users, language and region code, which is derived from your phone number prefix, are used for app functionality and stats. None of the listed is shared with third parties and is only used inside the system.
  • » Your phone book contacts: when accessing Dial contacts for the first time, Dial asks permission to access the User's phone book contacts to upload them into the Dial contacts section and to the Dial servers. While the local copy is to provide the user a smooth experience using contacts inside Dial to call, send messages, etc., sending User contacts to the servers is done to be able to match them with Dial users to mark which of them are Dial users and which are not. We call this whole process of copying User's phone book contacts into the Dial and sending it to Dial servers "Contacts Sync". Contacts sync is done every time the User uses any of the Contacts functionality of the Dial, and if the process does not manage to finish while the User browses away, it might continue also when Dial is in the background. On every Contact Sync the Dial checks if there are new contacts to copy or remove, thus keeping User's Dial contacts in sync with the User's phone book contacts. Phone book contacts do not contain contact names and are not shared with any 3rd party.
  • » Out-calls (paid calls) and top-up history: Call Detailed Reports (CDR) of paid calls referred to in Dial as Out-calls contain information about when and who did you call using Out-Calls functionality and are saved in the billing database for billed services compliance and audit purposes. Top-up history aka Credit history reflects the list of you Dial balance top-up transactions and is stored and maintained to comply with payments billing processes and regulations.
  • » Your device and connection information: We collect device and connection information when you install, access and use our services. This includes information about your device model and operating system; application version; browser and mobile network information; connection data, such as phone number, phone or mobile operator and internet service provider; language and time zone, IP; device operation information and identifiers, such as device identifiers. Except for device ID, which is used for Push notifications service, other lists are used for troubleshooting and anonymous analytics.

The data collected is used to fulfill Dial services, to comply with applicable law and to pursue Dial's legitimate interests.

4. Consent to the use of data
