When you download our app and sign up, you may be asked to grant Venmo permission to access your contacts. Venmo will access the names, phone numbers and email addresses of your contacts to improve your search results, let you invite contacts and as otherwise permitted in our Privacy Policy. You can choose to deny the request if you'd like.
Syncing will friend your contacts that use Venmo, so you can easily find, pay, and share payments with each other.
If you choose “Don’t Allow” you can grant Venmo access to your contacts later by selecting Venmo in your device Settings and enabling Contacts.
