Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Your contact information

Your Contact information may also be combined with other Users of our Services data to provide contact enrichment. In contact enrichment, a User is able to match a Contact that they possess to our Completed Contact Data, and receive back a subset of the contact information from the relevant Completed Contact Data for that individual. For example, we may share an individual’s name to support features including but not limited to users IP address. We also may share public social handles to support Contact Enrichment. Certain professional information including but not limited to business emails, organizational affiliation and job title, that can be inferred or extracted from a business card or email signature, may also be shared. Finally, generalized demographic information such as age range and gender, affinities, unique pseudonymized identifiers (“FullContact ID”), as well as derived general location from a phone number or physical address, may also be shared. We will never share physical addresses, personal phone numbers, personal emails unless you have given us your specific and unequivocal permission to share that information or we have secured the information via pseudonymization (e.g., through cryptographic hashing). We will never share any of your private notes with any other User.

 

We also use Completed Contact Data to provide Contact Search, such as when an User of our Services wants to retrieve a set of Completed Contact Data based on a set of search criteria. With the exception of the shareable contact elements described above, all contact elements in a Completed Contact are considered private and are not shared with other Users of our Services . However, any contact element (including those private elements) may be used for lookup and matching purposes.
