About us

Are you bothered or harassed by collection agencies, telephone spammers or pranksters?

On our website (U.K. mobile phone numbers, www.ukphonenumber.net) you can search for British mobile phone numbers and in some cases find details about what they are used for. Our users submit all of this information to us. By submitting your information and having it coupled with other people's reports and complaints about a number, we will eventually accumulate a sufficient number of reports (complaints or other comments) and build a knowledge database of all of the United Kingdom's mobile phone numbers that are used for unlawful purposes.

Please submit reports about UK mobile phone numbers that are used for telemarketing, spamming (advertising of services or goods), fishing (private information), scamming, prank calls (pranksters), harassment and similar unlawful activities.

Data Protection Act 1998

Data Protection Act 1998 and the UK Law

The Data Protection Act of 1998 (DPA) is an effective law that governs the privacy rights of any UK citizen. This national law states that reverse phone look up activities are restricted because the private and personal information of each citizen are protected under U.K. law. The “Data Protection Act” was passed in 1998 for the express reason of protecting the people’s personal privacy. Reverse phone look up activity needs to be approved by the phone owner before being included in a data base.

Phone Number Search

A phone number search that reveals a public number is appropriate only when certain commercial businesses or government agencies have published their phone numbers in order for the public to communicate with them. One can also find the address (location) of these numbers because they are also published.

Unauthorized Mobile Phone Number Calling and Access to Personal Data

The Data Protection Act of 1998 concerns the unauthorized calling of mobile phone customers. The recent data protection act says that the personal and private details of the mobile phone caller are not available to the general public. These private details may include the name and the address of the caller, certain demographic data about the caller, or other personal details.

Mobile Phone Number Lookup

Since a reverse number lookup could reveal personal data that could even place the mobile phone owner in jeopardy, private mobile phone companies are not allowed to reveal any personal data unless previous authorization has been acquired. Exceptions may apply in cases like: national security, prevention or detection of crime, apprehension or prosecution of offenders, assessment or collection of any tax or duty or of any imposition of a similar nature.

Data Protection Act

The European Union has imposed a number of laws about certain privacy rights that are now part of the legal structure of its member countries. The U.K. began this legislation in 1998 to comply with various requests about personal data protection. The following are some of the principles that guard mobile phone owner's right to privacy:

1. Personal data are collected by several private businesses on a daily basis, and mobile phone data is an important part of this personal data collection. The personal data or mobile phone data needs to be processed in a legal manner. Private companies cannot exchange this personal data with an outside company or individual unless there has been a lawful or court ordered request for the data in question.

2. Personal data can be obtained for certain business purposes. The business purposes are specific and do not include selling the information to others outside of the direct business that has been called.

3. Personal data collected for employment reasons cannot be used for anything else, except contacting the applicant.

4. The phone data should not be kept any longer than necessary for the business purpose it was gathered for.

5. The personal data needs to be processed within the business in a fair and lawful manner. The phone number may be used, for example, to call a job applicant and notify him/her that a job is being offered to them. One cannot call the applicant and try to solicit any other type of business.

6. The personal data needs to be secured and protected against any unlawful use. The personal data should be locked in a secure area or encrypted within a data file.

7. Personal data within the European Union should be protected and not transferred outside of this area without adequate safety.

Summary

The rights and personal freedoms are critical and of huge importance. The U.K. enacted the Data Protection Act in 1998 to assure that its citizen’s privacy is guarded, and this included reverse mobile phone number search services.
