1. Application of Terms
These Terms & Conditions govern your access to and use of WhoAU, including our website, mobile applications, tools, databases, content, and related services.
WhoAU provides an online service designed to help users find out who called them in Australia, identify unknown numbers, view publicly available or user-contributed caller information, and share caller-related feedback.
By using WhoAU, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using WhoAU immediately.
WhoAU is an independent platform. Unless clearly stated, we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any telecommunications provider, government agency, directory provider, business, or third-party caller identification service.
2. Changes to These Terms or the Service
We may update these Terms from time to time by publishing a revised version on our website or app.
The updated Terms will take effect from the date they are published, unless stated otherwise.
We may update, suspend, remove, or change any part of WhoAU, including features, number information, search results, content, or account functionality, at any time without notice.
We do not guarantee that WhoAU will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.
3. Nature of the Service
WhoAU helps users search for and understand information associated with phone numbers in Australia.
Information displayed on WhoAU may come from publicly available sources, third-party sources, business listings, user submissions, spam reports, caller feedback, technical data, or other lawful sources.
WhoAU does not guarantee that any phone number information, caller name, business identity, spam rating, report, comment, or search result is complete, accurate, current, verified, or suitable for your specific purpose.
Caller information may change over time. A phone number may be reassigned, spoofed, shared, misreported, or used by more than one person or organisation.
You should not rely solely on WhoAU when making important decisions. You are responsible for verifying caller identity before taking any action.

You must provide accurate, current, and complete information when creating an account or using WhoAU.
You are responsible for keeping your login details secure and for all activity that occurs under your account.
You must notify us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without permission.
We may suspend or terminate your account if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms or used WhoAU in a way that may harm other users, third parties, or our platform.

You are responsible for any content you submit.
By submitting content to WhoAU, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, display, publish, moderate, and distribute that content for the purpose of operating, improving, and promoting WhoAU.
You must ensure your submitted content is truthful to the best of your knowledge, lawful, fair, and not misleading.
We may review, edit, hide, remove, or refuse to publish any user-submitted content at our discretion, including where we believe it may be inaccurate, harmful, unlawful, defamatory, private, spam, or otherwise inappropriate.
7. Number Listings, Removal Requests, and Corrections
If you believe information about you, your business, or your phone number is inaccurate, outdated, misleading, or should not appear on WhoAU, you may contact us to request a correction, update, or removal.
We may ask you to provide reasonable information to verify your identity, authority, or connection to the relevant phone number.
We will consider requests in accordance with applicable laws, privacy obligations, platform safety, public interest, and the purpose of WhoAU.
We are not required to remove information that we are legally permitted to retain, display, or process, but we may choose to limit, correct, anonymise, or remove information where appropriate.

Your use of third-party websites or services is at your own risk and may be subject to separate terms and privacy policies.
