How We Obtain Data
We help you build lead lists by discovering contact details shown on publicly available, non-gated web pages. We don’t log in to accounts, we don’t bypass paywalls or technical measures, and we honour site-owner instructions (robots.txt).
What we collect (at a glance)
- Publicly displayed contact fields (e.g., an email on a company “About” page)
- Source context: page URL, first-seen timestamp, and validation signals (syntax/domain/bounce-risk)
- Optional enrichment you enable (e.g., job title or company name when shown on the same public page)
Where we collect from
- User-provided URLs and permitted web indexes/APIs (for example, Google Programmable Search/Custom Search API) to find relevant public pages, then we read only what’s publicly visible there.
- Public pages that reference social networks (e.g., profiles, posts, “About” sections, public channel pages, public comments).
We don’t send automated queries to services that prohibit it; where search is needed, we rely on user-provided links or APIs that allow programmatic access.
How collection works
- You input keywords, targets, or URLs.
- Our crawler checks robots.txt and throttles requests. (Robots.txt guides crawlers; it isn’t a security control, so we never rely on it for “hiding” sensitive pages.)
- We visit public pages, parse visible text/markup, and discover contact fields.
- We validate, de-dupe, attach the source URL, and make your list exportable.
What we don’t do
- No account logins, cookie/session reuse, or circumvention of technical access controls.
- No collection from private profiles, private groups, or gated dashboards.
- No full-text replication of pages—we keep contact fields and pointers (URLs). If a rightsholder flags something, we run a standard DMCA notice-and-takedown process.
Your responsibilities
Use results lawfully: follow rules for direct marketing (e.g., CAN-SPAM in the U.S., UK PECR/GDPR in the U.K./EU, CASL in Canada), choose a valid lawful basis (often consent or legitimate interests for B2B), and always honour opt-outs/the right to object.
Note: We also respect evolving publisher controls (robots.txt and similar signals) and may disable discovery modes to align with site policies.
