Does Skie read call logs or contacts?
No. Skie does not read call logs, call recordings or contact lists. It can switch outgoing calls and SMS off by policy where an organisation wants that, and hostel night mode can keep calls allowed. The control is on the function, not on the content of what people say or who they call.
Call history is personal, and the product leaves it alone. Skie does not read the call log, record calls or collect the contact list. It does not show an administrator who a student called or for how long.
What it does give is switches on the functions themselves. Disable outgoing calls and disable SMS are optional settings, off by default, and an organisation can set them at the organisation, school, branch or group level. That suits a tablet or phone used only for lessons.
For hostels, the opposite matters too. Night mode switches app sets and screen availability on a schedule, and calls can stay allowed. That way a child can still reach a parent in the middle of the night, even when apps are locked. Students can still call home in normal use. Contacts-only calling, where a device can call only a short approved list, is not available yet and the team is working on it.
If a school has a concern about contact with outsiders, the sensible response is policy and conversation, with the function switches as a backstop. Reading call logs would give you more data than you can responsibly use, and it would change the nature of the programme.
A practical tip: when you describe the controls to families, group them in a table of three headings: what is switched on, what is switched off and what is never looked at. Call logs belong in the third one.
