According to “The Intercept” the US secret service NSA with ICReach is to own a program for the determination of data of US citizens and of foreigners. A massive amount of data of approximately 850 billion information items is thus available to intelligence services such as the FBI, CIA, DEA and DIA. Thousands of analysts from these authorities should be able to access the information on this search engine.
The evidence on which "The Intercept" is based comes from the documents of Whistleblower Edward Snowden. They show that the NSA provides huge amounts of information to the various US intelligence services. ICReach contains data from the personal environment of a citizen, prognoses about its future actions, as well as religious and political convictions. This information will probably not be saved, but will be analyzed in a step-by-step search.

However, according to "The Intercept" a connection to the database of the NSA is not to exist. Few, anti-terrorist investigating NSA employees are supposed to have access to the millions of phone data of US citizens. Read more in the linked articles.
