Pinger and other texting / burner # apps
So after my post I did a little research on the Pinger app and those like them based on the questions comments posted by others. Pinger didn't require any personal info from me but I did buy minutes via the app store. Just thought I would put this out there FYI. Guess I should have researched the app a little more before using it.
The Pinger website does say:
"App Data can include: IP addresses, domain servers, referring / exit pages, operating system information, unique device identifiers, such as UDID and / or Ethernet MAC address, date / time stamp, clickstream data and information about actions taken by you through interaction with Pinger's products and / or advertising displayed within Pinger products, messages sent and received using Pinger services, information about those messages (date, duration, recipients, size, attachments), type of device, location information, age, gender, type of web browser, one or more cookies that identify your browser, and telecommunications carrier information. ".
It does additionally say:.
"(iii) Pinger may share Customer Information to respond to legal requirements, when legally required to do so, or at the request of governmental authorities. ".
So (in theory). Police with a valid warrant could request Pinger to search for and provide whatever information they have on data being sent (to or from a certain recipient). If they could trace that back to 10 random accounts -- but those 10 random accounts are all using the same Device. Then that information could be useful.
I'm not sure that would be enough to track / identify the person doing it. But it does seem like it would be technically possible. (assuming the Police want to invest that much time / energy into it. Which they may not).
