Truecaller is a privacy risk- how actually works?

-



Truecaller is a popular calling app, It shows you contact details of unknown number by calling you. Its grabbing your contact details from all its user phone address book. If you are using Truecaller or not, it doesn't matter, your name and number details might be in truecaller database. It can also list of your home address and it could be breached in your privacy.

A lot of people have commented saying that the app doesn't leak the numbers out in public. May be not in the proper "leak" sense. But it does put them up their in the Truecaller database for some degree of public use without seeking any permission from the people whose numbers it has. If you have a number, you can easily find out the name and address (at least city specific) of the person who uses that number from the Truecaller search. And if you have a name, even then you can search the database and get some details of that user, along with option to seek full number from the user.

But the interesting bit is that the users, who is in the database of Truecaller, is not there because he or she wanted to be a part of it. These people are there because they trusted their inconsiderate friends with their numbers. That number was supposed to be for their eyes only but now it is up there in the Truecaller database, which by the way can be -- and has been -- hacked.
