Privacy Policy
Effective Date: January 27, 2023
Last Updated: July 11, 2025
HotCodes built the NumberBox app as an Ad-Supported service. This SERVICE is provided by HotCodes at no cost and is intended for use as-is.
This page is intended to inform users regarding our policies with the collection, use, and disclosure of information in relation to the NumberBox app.
1. Information We Do Not Collect
We respect your privacy. NumberBox does not collect or access the following:
- Contact lists or address books
- Call logs or call history
- SMS messages
- Microphone, camera, or location data
- Personally identifiable information (PII)
2. Caller Name Data Disclaimer
The caller name results displayed in the app are based on data collected from:
- Public sources
- Aggregated third-party caller ID databases
- Open directories across the web
We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of the names shown. These results are for general reference only and may be incorrect, outdated, or misleading.
We do not store any user data, nor do we create persistent profiles of individuals. The app only provides a real-time lookup of phone numbers via public data sources without retaining any personal information.
The app does not display real-time caller information, and is not connected to any telecom authority.
3. Third-Party Services
The app uses third-party services which may collect certain types of technical data (not personal):
These services may collect the following:
- Device type and model
- IP address
- Android Advertising ID (AAID)
- OS version and app usage behavior
4. Log Data
In case of an error in the app, we may collect data and information through third-party tools (e.g., Crashlytics) known as “Log Data.” This may include:
- Device name
- OS version
- App configuration
- Time and date of usage
- Technical crash reports
This data is used only for improving app stability and performance.
5. Cookies
The app itself does not use cookies. However, third-party SDKs (such as AdMob or Firebase) may use cookies or similar technologies for analytics and advertising purposes.
Users may control cookie behavior through their device or browser settings.
6. Data Retention and Deletion
NumberBox does not store or retain any personal user data. All searches are processed anonymously. If at any point you wish to stop using the app, simply uninstall it.
7. Location Data
Our app itself does not directly collect or store your precise location data. However, we utilize third-party advertising services, such as Google AdMob, which may collect and use certain information, including general location data (e.g., derived from IP address or device settings), to serve relevant advertisements. This data is processed in accordance with their respective privacy policies. We encourage you to review Google's Privacy Policy for more details.
8. Timezone Data
The NumberBox app does not collect, use, or store any precise location data (such as GPS, Wi-Fi, or SIM-based location).
We do not infer user location from IP address or network provider.
However, for functional and analytical purposes, we may collect the device's timezone setting (e.g., "America/New_York") to understand usage patterns.
This information is anonymous and not used to track or identify users.
9. Children’s Privacy
This app is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 13. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can remove it immediately.
10. Security
We value your trust. While no system is 100% secure, we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect data handled via our third-party tools (e.g., Firebase).
11. External Links
The app may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites.
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page, and the updated date will be reflected above.
