If you do not want your phone number (and the phone numbers for all your friends) included in this database, you can request for it to be unlisted. Some users have argued that this is a violation of privacy, but TrueCaller makes it clear that if you want to use the service, you must first agree to the terms and conditions which allows access to your contact and address book. This allows all the users to share their address books with each other, and in a way, crowdsources the information from all the users. In doing so, the company is able to store all your friends’ contacts securely in their database, and when someone else looks up a number of your friend, TrueCaller is able to display the name and other information to the person who is searching for information about the caller. TrueCaller searches a phone number through a database of over 2 billion numbers – most of the numbers are provided by other users allowing TrueCaller to access their contact lists.
