Privacy Policy

phone-number.info is engineered with data minimization and privacy by design.

Data Collection & Pseudonymity

We do not require user registration or email addresses to search numbers or submit community votes. We issue an opaque pseudonymous cookie (pn_actor) solely to enforce rate limits and prevent vote brigading. Only an HMAC-SHA256 hash of this identifier is persisted.

Data Retention Schedules

• Rate Limiting Records: Expired bucket keys are purged automatically after 48 hours.
• Private Inquiries & Evidence: Private claim documentation and content dispute messages are retained for 90 days following resolution, after which they are purged.
• Access Logs: Standard web server logs are retained for a maximum of 14 days and do not log full request bodies.

Your Rights

If your personal data or phone number appears in community comments or an unverified listing, you have the right to request suppression, correction, or erasure under applicable data protection laws. Submit a notice via our Dispute / Content Removal form.
