I'm glad you asked because the permissions system on phones can cause confusion like this!

Habitica is definitely not capturing information about who you are calling. What it's doing is requesting the "read phone status and identity" permission (from the "Device ID & call information" category) and it's doing that so that it can work out if the phone has a current network connection. That allows it to warn you when your changes won't be saved when your phone is offline.

Unfortunately the permission system isn't granular enough for the app to be able to request only the network status.

If you have further questions about this, please ask!
