PhoneOwner, Inc.

PhoneOwner.com operates as a comprehensive online phone directory for the United States, encompassing a vast database of both landline and cell phone numbers. The service primarily functions as a reverse phone lookup tool, allowing users to identify the owner of an unknown number. Reports can include the current owner's name, address, birthdate, address history, and sometimes an email address. This free and anonymous access to personal information poses significant privacy risks, as it can be exploited for doxxing, stalking, harassment, or identity theft by malicious actors. The detailed historical data associated with mobile numbers, in particular, can reveal a great deal about an individual's past. To safeguard their information, individuals should be cautious about the personal data they share publicly and can request to have their details removed from the site's database.
