Privacy Policy

Last updated: 10/17/2026


About this policy

This is the privacy policy of Who Called This?, available at https://whocalledthis.com. It explains how we handle personal information, including your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA) and similar privacy laws in other US states. Because the website operator is based in the European Union, we also follow the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Below you will find what information we collect, why, how long we keep it, which cookies the website uses and what choices and rights you have.

Who we are

This website is run by the operator named on the Contact page, who decides how personal information collected on the website is used:

RAFAŁ KOPKA
ul. Pienista 50/6, 94-109 Łódź, Polska
Tax identification number (NIP, Poland): 7311894670
contact@whocalledthis.com

Personal information and privacy

You can use Who Called This? without giving us any personal information. We do not ask for your name, email address or phone number.

When you add a report, we store a one-way hash of your IP address (a fingerprint that cannot be turned back into the address), not the IP address itself. We use it only to limit spam and abuse.

Who Called This? does not share this hash with anyone, except where the law requires us to disclose it to an authority entitled to receive it.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files that your browser stores on your device when you visit a website.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the website may then work differently.

The website uses cookies to:

  • Remember your privacy choice (opt-out)
  • Show advertising
  • Measure how the website is used (analytics)
  • Keep the website working properly

Google Analytics and the Adsterra advertising network load by default on this website and set and read their own cookies under their own policies. We do not show a cookie consent banner. You can turn ads and analytics off at any time with the opt-out button in the Your Privacy Choices section of this policy, and if your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we turn them off automatically.

Third-party services

Advertising and personalization

Advertising on this website is provided by the Adsterra advertising network. Adsterra and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to show ads and measure their performance.

Advertising providers may use cookies and similar technologies to show ads and to personalize them based on your visits to this and other websites.

Besides our own opt-out, you can limit personalized advertising using these tools:

More information: Google Privacy Policy

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google, to understand how the website is used. Google Analytics uses cookies to do this.

More information: Google Analytics and privacy

Facebook

The website may contain links to Facebook. Facebook handles data under its own privacy policy: Facebook Privacy Policy

Who Called This? and your privacy rights

Who Called This? respects your privacy rights under US state privacy laws and the GDPR. If you live in California or another state with a consumer privacy law, see Your Privacy Choices on this page.

What information we collect

1. Website visitors

We don't store IP addresses in readable form. We keep only a one-way hash of them to prevent spam. We don't collect email addresses, logins or names.

If you want us to delete data linked to your IP address, email us: contact@whocalledthis.com. We will delete it promptly.

2. Personal information in reports

Reports are published by users without prior moderation. Users are responsible for what they post.

If a report contains your personal information, contact us: contact@whocalledthis.com. We will remove it promptly.

Is a phone number personal information?

A phone number can be personal information if it can be linked to an identifiable person. Who Called This? does not link numbers to names, addresses or other details about who owns them, and we do not sell reports about phone owners.

If a report on the website makes it possible to identify you, contact us and we will remove the identifying details.

Your rights

  • The right to know what personal information we collect and to access it
  • The right to have inaccurate personal information corrected
  • The right to have your personal information deleted
  • The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information
  • The right to get a copy of your personal information in a portable format
  • The right not to be discriminated against for using your privacy rights
  • The right to complain to your state attorney general or privacy regulator (in California, the California Privacy Protection Agency)

Your Privacy Choices (California and other US states)

We do not sell names, email addresses or information about the owners of phone numbers. However, when ads and analytics load, our advertising partner Adsterra and Google Analytics receive personal information such as online identifiers (cookie IDs), device and browser information and the IP address your browser sends to them. California law (CCPA/CPRA) and similar laws in other states may treat this as a "sale" of personal information or "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not collect sensitive personal information, and we have no actual knowledge of selling or sharing the personal information of consumers under 16.

You can opt out at any time. The button below turns off ads and analytics in this browser. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as an opt-out automatically - you don't need to do anything else. Your choice applies to the browser and device you are using, so repeat it on other browsers and devices.

Personal information we collected in the last 12 months

Categories: identifiers and online identifiers (cookie IDs, a one-way hash of the IP address), internet activity (pages viewed and how you use the website), approximate location derived from the IP address, and content you post (nickname, report and rating). Sources: you and your browser. Purposes: running the website, moderating reports and preventing spam, analytics and advertising. Disclosed to: our hosting provider Cloudflare, Google (Google Analytics) and our advertising partner Adsterra.

Your rights under US state privacy laws

Depending on where you live, the CCPA/CPRA and similar state laws give you the right to know what personal information we collect and to access it, to delete it, to correct it, to opt out of its sale or sharing, and not to be discriminated against for using these rights. To make a request, email contact@whocalledthis.com. We will respond within 45 days. We may need to ask you for information to verify your request, for example which page or report it concerns. You can also have an authorized agent make a request for you; we may ask for proof that the agent is allowed to act on your behalf.

How long we keep data

  • Reports - until they are removed by us or at the request of the person concerned
  • One-way hash of the IP address - for spam prevention
  • Analytics data - up to 14 months
