Nicegram messenger provides messaging, Internet calling, and other services to users around the world. Our Privacy Policy helps explain our information (including message) practices. For example, we talk about what information we collect and how this affects you.
When we say “Nicegram,” “our,” “we,” or “us,” we’re talking about Nicegram company. This Privacy Policy applies to all of our apps, services, features, software, and website (together, “Services”) unless specified otherwise.
As you might know, Nicegram is an unofficial Telegram client and many of the services that you get by using Nicegram, is actually provided by Telegram company. So, if you have any question about those services, please read Telegram Privacy Policy.
The Nicegram application source code is publicly available and anyone can get acquainted with it: Nicegram for Android and Nicegram for iOS.
To provide you the Services, we collect the categories of information described below:
Most of the data collection and uses described in this Privacy Policy are necessary in order for us to be able to provide you the Services. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, we will not be able to provide you usage of the Services. Some of the data collection and uses are not strictly necessary for us to provide the Services, but they are related, and our basis for such collection and processing is for legitimate interests we may have, such as to analyze and improve the Services as explained in more detail below.
Account Information: When you sign up to become a user of our Services, you actually sign up for Telegram service and Nicegram only acts as a middle man between you and Telegram. We collect personal information you choose to provide us, which may include your name, email, and phone number. All of this information that may identify, relate to, describe, reference, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer, household, or device is called “Personal Information”.
Location Information: We collect information about your Location in the event that you decide to share your location in a chat with your contact, this location data is processed like other messages in chats. If you share your current location in any chat or enable "Make me visible to people nearby", Nicegram will use your data to display your location to those users with whom you share it, even when the application is closed - as long as you leave these additional functions active.
Phone Number and Contacts: Nicegram uses phone numbers as unique identifiers so that it is easy for you to switch from SMS and other messaging apps and retain your social graph. We ask your permission before syncing your contacts.We store your up-to-date contacts in order to notify you as soon as one of your contacts signs up for Telegram and to properly display names in notifications. We only need the number and name (first and last) for this to work and store no other data about your contacts. Telegram automatic algorithms can also use anonymized sets of phone numbers to calculate the approximate number of potential contacts an unregistered phone number may have on Telegram. When you open the 'Invite friends' interface, we display the resulting statistics next to your contacts to give you an idea of who could benefit most from joining Telegram. You can always stop syncing contacts or delete them from our servers in Settings > Privacy & Security > Data Settings.
If you are using Android, Nicegram will ask you for permission to access your phone call logs (READ_CALL_LOG). If you grant this permission, Nicegram will be able verify your account by transmitting a phone call instead of asking you to enter a code. Nicegram uses this permission only to confirm receipt of the confirmation call by verifying the number in the call log.

The information that you publish in public chats and channels is available to other users of the Telegram messenger and its clients. You must not include content that is offensive, insensitive, upsetting, intended to disgust, exceptionally tasteless, or simply creepy. Telegram may permanently delete your account and all data about it for violating the rules for posting public content or receiving complaints from other users.

You can report abusive user behavior through the context menu when highlighting a post or on the target user's profile page.
You can block any user, after which you will not receive any messages from him. The blocking is available on the target user's profile page.

People, who have your phone number in their contacts, will be notified. The new user will be displayed as a separate conversation in their messages list and their conversation history with this new user will be empty.
