Contact Owner is displays your (or a friend's) contact information on the "lock screen" of your device, so that if you happen to lose it the finder will know how to contact you. Select yourself (or your friend) from your list of contacts, then select which information you want shown and (optionally) customize your message. Contact Owner is a "fire and forget" tool: once you set it up, your contact information will keep being displayed even after restarting your device, as long as the application is installed.

view permissions [⚠ 5, ⓘ 1, ⚙ 2]YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
⚠ Read contact data [READ_CONTACTS]
Allows an application to read all
of the contact (address) data stored on your tablet. Malicious applications
can use this to send your data to other people.
PHONE CALLS
⚠ Read phone state and identity [READ_PHONE_STATE]
Allows the application to access the phone
features of the device. An application with this permission can determine the phone
number and serial number of this phone, whether a call is active, the number that call
is connected to and the like.
STORAGE
⚠ Modify/delete USB storage contents [WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE]
Allows an application to write to the USB storage.
SYSTEM TOOLS
⚠ Disable keylock [DISABLE_KEYGUARD]
Allows an application to disable
the keylock and any associated password security. A legitimate example of
this is the phone disabling the keylock when receiving an incoming phone call,
then re-enabling the keylock when the call is finished.
⚠ Modify global system settings [WRITE_SETTINGS]
Allows an application to modify the
system's settings data. Malicious applications can corrupt your system's
configuration.
ⓘ Automatically start at boot [RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED]
Allows an application to
have itself started as soon as the system has finished booting.
This can make it take longer to start the tablet and allow the
application to slow down the overall tablet by always running.
