Removal requests are honored
If a person asks to be removed, we remove them and record the request, so the record is not researched back into a later delivery.
How we source data, and what we will not do to get it.
Anyone buying B2B research should be able to ask where the information came from and get a straight answer. This is ours, including the parts that limit what we deliver.
01 · Sources
Sources we are willing to name.
If we would not be comfortable telling you where something came from, we do not use it. Every record carries a source note.
- Information companies publish about themselves, including their own websites and announcements
- Public business registers and official filings
- Professional profiles individuals publish about their own working role
- Industry bodies, trade directories, and published membership lists
- Public reporting and trade press covering the sector
- Direct confirmation, where a detail can be checked against the company itself
Everything we deliver is business contact information relating to a person’s professional role.
We do not research or hold personal contact details, home addresses, or anything unrelated to someone’s work.
02 · Limits
What we refuse to do.
A supplier with no boundaries has no standards. These hold even when relaxing one would mean a longer list.
01
No bulk scraping
We do not run automated tools that harvest contact details in bulk from platforms that prohibit it.
02
No bought lists resold as research
We do not buy a database elsewhere and pass it off as our own work.
03
No unnamed sources
If we cannot say where something came from, it does not go in the file.
04
No personal contact details
Business roles and business contact points only. Never home addresses or personal numbers.
05
No padding to hit a number
If your criteria produce fewer accounts than expected, you get fewer accounts and an explanation.
06
No reselling your brief
Work done for you is not repackaged for anyone else, and your criteria are not reused elsewhere.
03 · Privacy
How we handle removal requests.
Privacy law governs business contact data, and the detail differs by jurisdiction. Here is what we do.
Suppression lists persist
A removal that applies to only one file is not a removal. Ours are kept and applied to future work.
Your exclusions are applied first
Send us your suppression and exclusion lists at the start and we apply them before research begins.
We say where responsibility sits
We are responsible for how we source and handle data. How you contact people is governed by the rules that apply to you.
The rules depend on where you and the recipient are based. We say what we know about your market and where to take your own advice. See our Privacy Policy.
04 · Field standards
What each field has to satisfy.
Every field has a defined standard. It meets it and is delivered as confirmed, or it is labeled.
Standard delivery fields
Per record| Field | Type | What it holds |
|---|---|---|
| company_name | text | Registered or trading name of the account. |
| website | url | Primary company website. |
| industry | text | Sector classification assigned during research. |
| company_size_band | text | Employee count as a band, not a point figure. |
| location | text | Country, and state or city where relevant. |
| contact_name | text | Full name of the person identified. |
| job_title | text | Title as it appears in the sources checked. |
| seniority | text | Where the role sits in the decision-making structure. |
| Business address, confirmed deliverable at the time of checking. | ||
| email_status | enum | Result of the check: confirmed, accept-all, or unconfirmed. |
| phone | text | Direct line where one is available and confirmed. |
| fit_reason | text | Plain-language note on why this account matches the brief. |
| source_note | text | Where the information came from, in enough detail to retrace it. |
| checked_on | date | The date this record was last confirmed. |
Company size is delivered as a band. Exact headcount changes constantly, and a precise figure implies accuracy no external source can support.
05 · Currency
Every record carries a date.
Contact data is accurate at the moment it was checked. Any provider implying otherwise is overselling.
- Every record shows the date it was last confirmed
- Re-checking runs on a schedule agreed at the start
- Records that no longer hold are reported, not silently dropped
- Changes since the previous delivery are listed so you can update your systems
Ask us to trace any record and we will show you how it was built. Transparency is easy to claim and easy to test.
