Overview
CheckItFirst is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect and how we use it.
Information We Collect
Phone number lookups: When you look up a phone number, we record the lookup to track popular numbers and improve our service. We do not store your IP address.
Reports: When you submit a report about a phone number, we store the structured responses you select. We use a hashed identifier (not your actual IP) for rate limiting purposes only.
What We Don't Collect
- We don't require registration or login
- We don't store your IP address in plain text
- We don't collect names, email addresses, or other personal identifiers
- We don't allow free-text comments that could contain personal information
Cookies
We use essential cookies to ensure the website functions correctly. We may use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our site. See our Cookie Policy for more details.
Data Retention
Lookup statistics and aggregated reports are retained indefinitely to provide our service. Hashed rate-limiting identifiers are automatically deleted after 24 hours.
Your Rights
Under UK GDPR, you have rights regarding your personal data. However, as we don't collect identifiable personal data, we cannot identify or retrieve information related to specific individuals.
