What Data We Collect About You

SalesIntel collects and maintains professional business contact information only. We do not collect, store, or distribute personal or consumer data (such as home addresses, personal phone numbers, or financial information). The categories of professional data we maintain include:

Data Category Examples
Professional Identifiers Full name, job title, seniority level, department

Employment & Firmographic Data Employer name, company size, industry, revenue range, location (city/state/country)

We do not collect or process special categories of personal data, including racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, health data, biometric data, or sexual orientation.

 

Sources of Data

SalesIntel collects professional business contact data from the following categories of sources:

  • Publicly available sources — professional networking profiles, company websites, press releases, regulatory filings, news sources, and other publicly accessible business directories.
  • Licensed data partners — third-party data providers who supply contact and firmographic data under licensing agreements that authorize SalesIntel to use, maintain, and redistribute the data for B2B commercial purposes.
  • Human research and verification — SalesIntel employs a research team that verifies and updates contact records on a 90-day refresh cycle to maintain data accuracy.

All data sources are vetted to confirm that the data is appropriate for B2B commercial use and that individuals whose data is collected have a reasonable expectation that their professional contact information may be used for business purposes.

 

How We Use Your Data

SalesIntel uses professional business contact data for the following purposes:

  • Maintaining and operating the SalesIntel B2B database and platform

  • Verifying and updating contact records to maintain data accuracy
  • Supporting data enrichment services for SalesIntel customers
  • Complying with legal obligations, including data subject rights requests

Lawful basis for processing (GDPR): SalesIntel processes professional business contact data on the basis of legitimate interests — specifically, the legitimate interest of businesses in identifying and contacting other business professionals for B2B commercial purposes. This use is balanced against individuals’ rights, and individuals may opt out at any time (see Your Privacy Rights Section below).

 

Who We Share Your Data With

SalesIntel does not sell personal consumer data. Professional business contact data is licensed to business clients for authorized B2B commercial purposes under SalesIntel’s EULA. All data shared with third parties is limited to professional business contact information and is subject to contractual restrictions on permitted use. SalesIntel requires all third-party recipients to comply with applicable privacy laws and use the data only for lawful B2B commercial purposes.
