Website or Service - the service provided online at https://whocalledthis.com under these terms.

User - any person or organization that uses the website.

Privacy Policy - the document that explains how we handle personal information.

Phone number - a 10-digit US phone number (country code +1) that may be assigned to a subscriber.

Report - a user's own account of a call from a number. The user who posts a report is responsible for its content. Reports are not moderated before publication.

3. What the service provides

  1. The service provides a phone number search, and lets users add numbers, reports and ratings.
  2. Users add reports based on their own experience. We do not verify the numbers or the reports, which reflect the personal views of the users who post them.
  3. Searching for a number that is not yet in our database creates a public page for it, even if nobody adds a report. Pages of numbers with no reports and no interest are removed from search engine indexing after a period of time.

4. Your responsibilities

  1. You must be at least 13 years old to use the website, and you must use it lawfully and in line with these terms. The website is not directed at children under 13.
  2. You may use the website for personal purposes only, not for marketing, advertising or other commercial purposes.
  3. You must not use the website to harm others, including by posting content that is defamatory, abusive or infringes anyone's rights.
  4. You are responsible for how you use the website and for the content you post.

5. Our liability

  1. We are not responsible for incorrect or unlawful numbers, reports or ratings posted by users. We do not verify them.
  2. We are not liable for loss caused by a user's own actions or omissions. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
  3. We do not create or choose the reports users post and do not edit their content.
  4. We do not check reports before publication. We provide the technical means for users to publish them. As a provider of an interactive computer service, we are not the publisher or speaker of content posted by users under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (47 U.S.C. 230).
  5. Even so, we voluntarily remove content after a specific, substantiated report, for example when a report contains a private individual's personal information, threats or false accusations against a private person's number. We also act on court orders and official notices.
  6. The website may link to third-party websites. We are not responsible for their content or availability.

6. Phone numbers and personal information

  1. The Who Called This? database contains US phone numbers.
  2. We do not link numbers to the names or addresses of the people who own them. A number can become personal information if it is combined with information that identifies a person.
  3. If a number belongs to you as a private individual and a report contains information that identifies you, contact us and we will remove that information.
  4. If a number belongs to you as a private individual, you can ask us to remove its page entirely by writing to contact@whocalledthis.com. We review each request individually and may refuse it if the number is used for business or other users have reported it for scams or harassment. A removed number will not be added again, including through later searches.

7. Adding reports and ratings

  1. The website helps people decide whether to answer an unknown number. Reports should briefly describe the call, for example "Telemarketing call from XYZ" or "Package delivery from XYZ".
  2. You are responsible for what you post. Do not include personal information about private individuals and do not use offensive language. Posting false accusations or harassing someone may expose you to legal liability.
  3. You must not post reports that:
    • Are intended to harm a competitor
    • Contain names or other personal information about private individuals
    • Contain offensive language
    • Are defamatory or abusive toward people or businesses
    • Are intended to escalate disputes
    • Contain advertising or hidden promotion
    • Are deliberately false, malicious or misleading
  4. By posting a report you confirm that you have the right to share it, and you allow us to publish and display it on the website.
  5. If a third party brings a claim against us because of a report you posted, you may be responsible for the resulting losses to the extent permitted by law.

8. How numbers and reports are managed

  1. The Who Called This? database is built by its users, who add reports based on their own knowledge of the numbers.
  2. Because reports come from users, some may be inaccurate.
  3. Reports are not moderated before publication.
  4. All reports are posted by users, who are responsible for them.

9. Removing reports

  1. If you believe a report is false, unlawful or infringes your rights, use our report form or email us at contact@whocalledthis.com. Tell us the page, the comment and why it should be removed.
  2. We remove reports that:
    • Are offensive, abusive or obviously untrue
    • Contain personal information such as a name, home address or Social Security number
    • Together with the phone number could identify a private individual
