Privacy

Last updated: October 16, 2026.

hackthatphone.com operates this website. This policy explains what happens when you read our articles, follow a link, or contact us.

When you visit

You can read this site without an account. We do not ask for passwords, payment details, or access to your phone. We do not run a mailing list, reader comments, advertising trackers, or site analytics.

Our hosting provider, Vercel, handles requests for these pages and files. Those requests can include your IP address, browser details, the requested address, and the time of the request. Hosting services may process request and security logs to deliver the site, find faults, and prevent abuse. See Vercel's privacy notice for information about its practices.

These pages use AMP, a web framework. Your browser requests its code from cdn.ampproject.org, which receives the connection details needed to serve that code. Some search services may serve a cached copy of an AMP page through their own systems. Their privacy policies apply to those services.

Cookies and tracking

We do not set cookies for ads, audience profiles, or analytics. We do not sell or share reader details for targeted advertising. Other sites you visit through our links may use cookies and tracking under their own policies.

If you email us

If you contact hello@hackthatphone.com, your email service sends your address, message, and any attachments. We use correspondence to respond and handle the matter you raise. Please do not send passwords, payment card details, or private phone backups.

We keep correspondence only as needed to handle the request and meet applicable record-keeping duties. You can ask us to delete a message or correct details you sent. Some records may need to be kept where the law requires it.

Links and recommendations

Our articles link to product makers and other resources. Those services handle your visit under their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control their content or how they collect data.

There are currently no affiliate links on this site. We may add links that earn a commission in the future. If we do, we will disclose that relationship where it matters to your choice and update this policy.

Our editorial identity

Alex Mercer is a synthesized editorial persona, with an AI-generated portrait. Articles are prepared with AI assistance. The byline does not represent a person who has bought or tested the products. Editorial judgments draw on product information and cited sources; they should not be read as claims of hands-on testing.

Your choices

Depending on the law that applies to you, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or limit the use of personal data. To make a request about information you sent us, email hello@hackthatphone.com. We may need enough information to confirm that the request concerns your data. You may also have the right to contact your local data protection authority.

Security and changes

This site uses HTTPS to protect data in transit. No online service can promise complete security. We will update this page if our practices change, and show the date of the latest revision above.
