Privacy Policy

Valid Number is a community platform where people look up, rate and comment on the reputation of phone numbers, with a focus on Europe's home and professional services market.

For questions about this policy or your data, contact us through the app.

Account data: the details you provide when you create an account, such as an email address.

Contributions: the phone numbers you search, the ratings you give and the comments you write.

Technical data: basic device, browser and log information needed to keep the service secure and working.

To provide the service: showing community reputation for a phone number and letting you contribute your own experience.

To protect the community: detecting abuse, spam and manipulation of ratings, and moderating content.

To improve the product: understanding, in aggregate, how the service is used.

We rely on your consent where you actively submit content, on the performance of our terms where processing is needed to run your account, and on our legitimate interest in keeping the platform safe and free of abuse.

Reputation data comes from the community, not from scraping third-party sources. Contributions are published in a way that reflects a shared experience about a number, not a profile of an individual.

If you believe a contribution about a number connected to you is inaccurate or unlawful, you can ask us to review, correct or remove it.

We do not sell personal data. We share data only with service providers who help us operate the platform (for example hosting and security), under contractual confidentiality and data-protection obligations, and where required by law.

We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes above, or as required by law. Contributions may remain available to the community after an account is closed, in anonymised form.

You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict and object to the processing of your personal data, the right to data portability, and the right to withdraw consent at any time.

You can also lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority.

We use technical and organisational measures to protect data, including encryption in transit, access controls and moderation tooling. No system is perfectly secure, so we keep reviewing our safeguards.

If we update this policy, we will publish the new version on this page and update the date above.
