If you have general questions about your account or how to contact customer service for help, please visit our online help center at Contact Us.

The controller of your personal information is Stranger Number Lookup. Please note that if you contact us for support, for your safety and ours, we may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request.

Information collection

We receive and store information about you, such as:

• Information you provide to us: We do not require you to provide any information.
• Information we collect automatically: We collect information about your IP address (which can tell us your general location, but not enough to know your exact location) when you report a phone number.
• Information from partners: We do not collect any information from other companies you have a relationship with ("Partners").
• Information from other sources: We also obtain information from other sources. We protect this information in accordance with the practices described in this Privacy Statement, together with any additional restrictions imposed by the data source. These sources change over time, but may include:
  • service providers that help us determine your location based on your IP address to customize our service and for other uses consistent with this Privacy Statement;
  • security service providers that give us information to secure our systems, prevent fraud, and help us protect the security of Stranger Number Lookup;
  • publicly available sources, such as public posts on social-media platforms, and information available through public databases linking IP addresses with internet service providers (ISPs).

Use of information

We use information to provide, analyze, manage, and improve our services, and to process your comments and reports in order to determine whether a phone number is fraudulent. For example, we use such information to:

• determine your general geographic location and help us answer questions and requests quickly and effectively;
• secure our systems, prevent fraud, and help us protect the security of Stranger Number Lookup;
• prevent, detect, and investigate activities that may be prohibited or unlawful, including fraud, and to enforce our terms;
• analyze and understand our users, improve our services (including our UI experience and service performance), and optimize content selection, recommendation, and distribution algorithms;

Disclosure of information

We do not disclose your information for certain purposes or to third parties.

Your information and rights

If you have questions related to our privacy practices, please contact us at Contact Us. For information about the deletion of reports and phone numbers, please refer to our FAQs. We respond to all requests we receive from individuals seeking to exercise their data-protection rights under applicable data-protection laws.

We may decline requests that are unreasonable or not required by law, including those that are extremely impractical, may require disproportionate technical effort, or may expose us to operational risk. We may retain information as required or permitted by applicable laws and regulations — including by respecting your choices — for our record-keeping purposes and to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Statement. We take reasonable steps to securely dispose of personal information when it is no longer required.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, logical, physical, and managerial measures to protect your personal information against loss, theft, and unauthorized access, use, and modification. These measures are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risks of processing your personal information.

Children

You must be 18 years or older to use the Stranger Number Lookup service. Minors may only use the service with the involvement, supervision, and consent of a parent or legal guardian.

Changes to this Privacy Statement

We will update this Privacy Statement over time to meet changing legal, regulatory, or operational requirements. We will provide notice of any such changes (including when they take effect) as required by law. Your continued use of the Stranger Number Lookup service after any such update takes effect constitutes your recognition and (where applicable) acceptance of those changes. If you do not wish to acknowledge or accept any updates to this Privacy Statement, you may discontinue your use of the Stranger Number Lookup service.
