INFORMATION COLLECTED
Information You Provide To Us
When you upload a phone number to our Service, we will send an SMS message or place a phone call to the phone number to verify whether the number is a live number, and that it belongs to you. We will also store those phone numbers you upload to the Service in a hashed or encrypted manner for fraud and service abuse prevention, debugging purposes.
