Our Privacy Policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect and use the personal information you provide to us and to assist you in making informed decisions when using our site and our products and services.
Our website provides reverse phone lookups for legitimate safety and informational purposes. We understand that privacy is a major concern as it relates to the spread of personal data online, and it's an issue that we take very seriously.
This page specifies the information we do NOT reveal in our products and services, and how we're working to protect consumer privacy.
We are not a cell phone directory.
Reverse Phone Detective does not reveal cell phone numbers. Typing a name into our website will not return the person’s mobile phone number. Previous efforts by phone carriers to create a “wireless 411” service have made it clear that consumer sentiment opposes the creation of such a directory.
We do not sell your information to telemarketers.
We’re just as annoyed with them as you are. Our product cannot be used by telemarketers to get access to your cell phone number. Furthermore, we have no partnerships or affiliations with any telemarketing companies.
We do not sell call logs or phone records under any circumstances.
The sale of call logs and phone records is illegal.
We do not show the physical location of cell phones.
Reverse Phone Detective does not use GPS, Wi-Fi, or any technologies related to “triangulation”. What we do include in our phone reports is the “issuing” location of a phone number (based on the NPA-NXX codes) and/or the phone owner’s listed address.
Our people search data is restricted to U.S. adults only.
Information about minors or residents in other countries is not included in our databases.
We do not reveal sensitive personal data in our member’s area.
Information that we do NOT share, sell, or reveal includes:
- Information about minors and vulnerable individuals
- Social security numbers
- Truncated social security numbers
- Cell phone numbers
- Phone records and call logs, including text messages
- GPS location of phones
- Medical, dental, or other health-related records
- Sexual preferences
- Religious beliefs or affiliations
- Driver’s license numbers
- License plate numbers
