If you disagree to any term hereof, you may not download, install, access or use the App, and must promptly and permanently remove the App and any part thereof from your systems and devices, and cease any and all use thereof.

You hereby acknowledge and agree that you are providing us with Personal Information at your own free will, for the purposes described herein, and that we may retain such Personal Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and any applicable laws and regulations.
Please see the "Company" Terms of Service, so you may find more information about how to manage the data you choose to submit to the "CallerApp". You are entering into the Terms of Service with Caller and the terms of this Privacy Policy apply to You. By accepting this Privacy Policy and/or using the Services, You consent to the collection, use, sharing and processing of data as described. Show Caller ID ("callerapp.net", "our", "we", "us" or the "Company") is committed to respect the privacy and Personal Information of the users (“user” or “you”) in connection with the use of our mobile application and/or by accessing our website https://callerapp.net (collectively the “Service”)
- Our primary goal is to equip consumers with the tools needed to make informed decisions and prevent illegal and fraudulent calling activities.
-
Our service is pivotal in bolstering connectivity while thwarting intrusive and fraudulent calls. We achieve this through an array of smart features that empower users to make informed decisions, reducing the risks of malicious or misleading activities targeting our user community. These features include:
- Enabling users to report and block numbers for inclusion in their personal spam call list or a broader regional spam call list is a key feature of our service. If a specific number receives multiple reports as spam from users, our system notifies other users when they receive a call from that same number, helping the community stay informed and protected.
- Our Live Caller ID feature showcases the caller's name before the user picks up the call, providing valuable information upfront. Additionally, it notifies users if the number has been reported as spam, helping them identify and decide whether to answer the call.
- Show Caller ID offers a number search (reverse lookup) feature on its web-based platform, allowing individuals, even those who aren't registered users, to manually search for a number. This tool helps users identify the caller's identity and determine if the number has been reported as spam. Any contact information collected by Show Caller ID serves the sole purpose of enabling individuals to identify incoming calls from unfamiliar sources, conduct reverse numeric lookup for unknown numbers, and report/block fraudulent, intrusive, or inappropriate calls.
- Our features are purposefully crafted to combat deceptive and abusive practices, particularly those facilitated by anonymity, prevalent in telemarketing and other harmful activities, including abusive calls.
- Our objective is to uphold consumer privacy by enabling them to identify incoming calls, fostering greater accountability within the industry as a whole.
- Crucial Note: Our Privacy Policy does not aim to restrict your statutory rights, encompassing your entitlement to remedies or enforcement means in any manner.
This Privacy Policy delineates our procedures regarding the information collected from your use of the Service and how we utilize this information. Additionally, we urge you to review our Terms of Use, wherein this Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference. Other policies that may be communicated by us periodically should also be considered. The definitions specified in our Terms of Use are applicable to this Privacy Policy unless otherwise stated. We hold your privacy in high regard and are committed to offering a platform that adheres to the highest standards of user privacy.
