ยง Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

Browsing the site

Reading DialCode.app requires no account and collects no personal information. We use privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics (page counts, referrers, country-level geography) that does not identify you or follow you across sites. There are no advertising trackers and no third-party ad networks on this site. We currently show no ads; if that ever changes, this policy will be updated first.

API accounts

Creating an API key requires one thing: your email address, used for magic-link sign-in, quota alerts and service notices. No passwords, no names, no billing details. API keys themselves are stored as SHA256 digests - we cannot read your key back, and neither can anyone who reads our database.

Numbers you look up

Phone numbers submitted to the API are not stored in plain text. Request logs keep only a SHA256 hash of the number (for quota accounting and abuse detection) and are deleted after 90 days. Bulk CSV upload results are kept for 7 days so you can download them, then deleted.

Cookies

DialCode sets a single first-party session cookie. It exists for security (protecting forms against cross-site request forgery) and, if you sign in, for keeping your API dashboard session. It identifies a browser session, not a person, and is not used for tracking of any kind. There are no advertising, analytics or cross-site cookies.

Data security

All connections are encrypted via HTTPS. Complaint data we serve comes from public government datasets (FTC Do Not Call, FCC consumer complaints); the feeds contain no names or contact details of the people who complained, and we publish only aggregates: report counts, complaint topics and per-state totals.
