Privacy Policy

When you use our service, we may collect:

• Phone numbers you search (stored in E.164 format for directory purposes).
• Predefined vote tags you submit (rating and category — no free-text comments).
• Basic usage data such as page views and search timestamps.
• Technical data including browser type, device type, and IP address (via server logs).
• Cookie and advertising identifiers when you accept non-essential cookies (see below).

• Operate and improve the phone lookup directory.
• Display community spam scores and generated summary reports.
• Prevent abuse and maintain site security.
• Measure traffic and site performance.
• Display advertisements through Google AdSense only after you consent to cookies where required.

We show a cookie banner before loading Google AdSense or other non-essential tracking. If you decline, we do not load the AdSense script and no personalized advertising cookies are set. Essential functionality (phone lookup, community reports) remains available.

We use Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the Internet. This may include the use of the DoubleClick cookie for interest-based advertising.

You can learn how Google collects and uses data at How Google uses data from sites that use its services. Opt out of personalized Google ads at Google Ads Settings. See our Advertising Policy for where ads appear on CheckThatCall.

Third-party ad vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads on our site. You may opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info (US) or Your Online Choices (EU).

Phone number records and community votes are retained to maintain the public directory. We may delete or anonymize data when no longer needed for operational purposes, subject to legal obligations.

We use third-party providers including Supabase (database hosting), Google AdSense (advertising, with consent), and web hosting services. These providers process data according to their own privacy policies.

Depending on your location (including GDPR in the EU and CCPA in California), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of personal data. Contact us at contact@checkthatcall.com or the operator at contact@checkthatcall.com.
