Privacy Policy—Database Providers

Introduction

Privacy is a matter of utmost importance at Database Providers. We are fully dedicated to processing data in a way that is responsible, legal, and open. This Privacy Policy outlines the ways in which we gather, utilize, share, and secure business and contact data in the course of our international service provision.

Our Commitment to Handling Data

What We Do:

• We collect, verify, and maintain business contact data sourced from lawful and publicly available business sources, such as corporate email addresses, business phone numbers, company addresses, and job titles, which are acquired from lawful public business sources.
• This data is used by us to ensure the accuracy and freshness of contact details for legal B2B activities, such as licensing, verification, and enrichment services.

What We Do Not Do:

• We do not sell or license private personal email addresses or personal mobile numbers that are not publicly available.
• We do not knowingly process or sell sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or health data.

Use of Publicly Posted Business Contact Details:

If an individual has clearly and lawfully posted their professional contact information (for example, a business email or work mobile number on a public professional profile), we may include this information in our datasets—but only after careful verification and legal review.

Scope & Applicability

This Privacy Policy applies worldwide to all data we collect, process, or control, including information from website visitors, prospects, and customers interacting with our services.

Types of Data We Collect

• Business Contact Data: Corporate emails, business phone numbers, company names, addresses, industries, and job titles.
• Publicly Available Professional Contact Data: Only when clearly posted by the individual.
• Technical & Usage Data: IP addresses, cookies, browser and device metadata used for analytics, security, and website functionality.
• Voluntary Information: Form submissions, sample requests, and support communications.

How We Use Data

We use data to:

• Supply, manage and develop our contact-data services which consist of licensing, enrichment, and verification.
• Make sure that our data is correct and client bounce rates are low.
• Conduct communications that are of a transactional nature like service and billing notifications.
• Meet legal requirements and secure our rights.

Lawful Bases for Processing

We rely on lawful bases appropriate to the jurisdiction, including:

• Legitimate Interests: Where processing is necessary for our services and does not override individual rights.
• Contract Performance: To fulfill agreements with our clients.
• Consent: Where required by applicable law.

For EU/EEA residents, we maintain records of legitimate-interest assessments and respect all applicable data-subject rights.

Sharing and Disclosure of Data

We only share data when it is lawful and necessary:

• With clients under contractual licensing agreements.
• With processors and vendors who support our services (under Data Processing Agreements).
• When required by law or to protect our rights.

We do not sell private personal data or use it for unlawful targeting.

Data Retention and Deletion

We keep data only as long as it is relevant and lawful. If a record is removed from public sources or upon a verified deletion request, we remove or suppress it in our systems and, where feasible, notify downstream clients who may have licensed it.

International Transfers

Data may be transferred across borders to support our global operations. All transfers are protected with safeguards, including Standard Contractual Clauses, encryption, and contractual controls.

Depending on your location, you may have rights including: access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, and objection.
