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

- 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).

SalesIntel requires all third-party recipients to comply with applicable privacy laws and use the data only for lawful B2B commercial purposes.
