How to delete information about yourself from the Getcontact and NumBuster applications forever

We live in an age of flourishing information technology, constant development and rapid growth of digital services. Everyone agrees with this, everyone is happy with it.

But over the years, such people begin to experience changes and negative sides. Digital fraud and spam are increasingly rampant in our world. To avoid picking up the phone again and always see who is calling, many people use the Getcontact and NumBuster applications.

What are these applications and how do they work?

Home page of the Getcontact service.

In essence, both applications are an identifying number with advanced functionality. The function is obvious – it calls an unfamiliar number, but you know this in advance. This happens because all the data from the notebooks of the users of these applications is stored in common tags in the cloud.

The main problem with such a connection is that when you register with applications and give them access to your address book, these rules immediately fly to the Getcontact and NumBuster servers. Moreover, NumBuster still provides a trust rating for the number and has a number of paid functions, such as “Anti-spy”.

This is what the NumBuster application looks like.

It’s very easy to leave the database and other similar services – just never download such applications to your smartphone. But what if you used it yourself or someone you know?

It’s unlikely that you would want anyone to be able to type in the definition of your cell number and instantly see how you are listed in the phone books of a bunch of people.

It turns out that it is very possible to remove information about yourself from Getcontact and NumBuster. Here’s how.

How to remove your number from Getcontact

To completely remove Getcontact you need to follow a series of simple steps in two steps.

First wayif you already have the Getcontact application installed on your smartphone.

1. Go to the “Other” section.

2. Next, turn on Settings – Account Settings – Account Management.

3. Select “Block”

At this stage, you have simply disabled the ability to use Getcontact for yourself. To prevent your data from being shared with other people, do the following:

4. Go to Getcontact official website and go to the lowest page “Manage Profile Privacy”.

5. Verify your phone number via WhatsApp message. This will not unlock your account.

6. Scroll down the tags page and go to Clothing Settings.

7. Move the slider to the Off position.

The developers promise to hide search data within 24 hours. The only way to verify that everything happened is for a friend to “punch” you through the application. If there is no information on the number, it means you have successfully deleted your data from Getcontact.

Important: You cannot fully log in to Getcontact, otherwise the block will be lifted and all tags associated with your number will again appear in the public domain.

How to remove information about yourself from NumBuster

With NumBuster everything is much simpler, despite the huge monetization potential (Almost everything in the app is paid). You can remove yourself from the database in a few clicks:

1. Go to settings

2. At the very bottom you see the option “Delete account”

3. Confirm deletion

Important: similar to Getcontact, re-registration in the application will return all tags in the public domain. The service also warns that private registration and deletion of an account leads to its blocking.

Bottom line

The idea behind such applications is certainly great. Its implementation proved the reliability of the project, and in many ways helped not to accept a call from another fake bank employee.

But such methods do not exactly suit everyone, and certainly not everyone wants “shine” my phone number. That’s why I wrote this procedure. I hope it will be useful to you, your friends or relatives.
