One of the most popular apps for smartphone users is 'Truecaller'. The popular app is already used by a large number of smartphone users, especially to know who has already called the phone from an unknown number. Even if a number is not stored on the mobile, it is very easy for the user to know who made the call and his identity which is often seen with pictures. Besides, annoying call blocking, SMS blocking facilities are constantly increasing the number of users of 'Truecaller'.
However, TrueClar has recently been accused of reading important SMS messages to users. Truecaller has also been accused of stealing information, especially from users who exchange money-lending SMS. As a result, companies that lend money are getting the opportunity to interact with the user without their knowledge.
Explaining the whole matter, Nemo said that the Frequently Answered Considerations (FAKS) of Truecaller states that a user can analyze the financial information of a user using the Banking tab on Truecaller. However, it is subject to the user's permission. Now not all users of Truecal are collecting such information.
However, Trukler mentioned several things in his policy. So that it is written, Truecaller collects the metadata of all incoming and outgoing calls and SMS from users. According to data protection experts, since these apps can be used for free, these apps save customers personal information which is subsequently sold to different organizations without the user's knowledge. In this case only the customer can provide his / her own information security only if they wish.
