Privacy Policy
Last updated: 28 October 2026
This policy explains what personal information ukmobilenumbers.co.uk (“UK Mobile Numbers”, “we”) collects, why, and what rights you have under UK data protection law (the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018).
In short: you can read this site without creating an account or giving us any details. We use no analytics, no advertising and no tracking cookies. The only personal information we handle is basic server data needed to run the site securely, and anything you choose to send us through live support.

UK Mobile Numbers is run by Jahangir Alam of Mobile Links, 396 Barking Road, Plaistow, London E13 8HJ. We are responsible for the personal information described here. You can contact us about privacy using the details at the end of this page.
What we collect and why
| Information | Why we use it | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|

| Live support messages: your name or username on the messaging app, your phone number or account, what you write, and the page address added to the first message | To answer your question | Legitimate interests (replying to you) |
We do not ask for, and do not want, sensitive information such as passwords, bank details or unused PAC codes.

Live support through WhatsApp, Telegram and Messenger
The live support button does not load anything from these services until you tap it. When you choose one, you leave our site and that app opens with a message that includes the address of the page you were reading. Your conversation is then also handled under that service’s own privacy policy:
- WhatsApp privacy policy (Meta)
- Telegram privacy policy
- Meta privacy policy (Messenger)
Who else sees your information
- Our hosting provider, Hostinger, which stores the site and its server logs on our behalf.
- The messaging service you choose for live support, as described above.
We do not sell your information or share it for marketing. We would only disclose it if the law required us to.
How long we keep it
- Server logs are kept for a limited period set by our hosting provider and then deleted automatically.
- Live support conversations are kept only as long as needed to help you and deal with any follow-up, then deleted from our side.

- ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you
