Frequently Asked Questions: Compliance & Privacy
Clear regulatory explanations covering GDPR, CCPA, CAN-SPAM, and data rights.
How does B2B Contact Lists comply with GDPR Article 6(1)(f)?
Under the European Union and UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), processing corporate business contact data for commercial marketing relies on Article 6(1)(f) 'Legitimate Interest'. Recital 47 explicitly identifies direct marketing as a legitimate business purpose. We document rigorous Legitimate Interest Assessments (LIA) demonstrating that corporate communications regarding relevant B2B services do not override the privacy rights of business professionals.
What data points are collected and processed?
We strictly process professional business contact intelligence: executive names, corporate job titles, business email addresses, professional LinkedIn profiles, company headquarters locations, and organizational firmographics. We never collect or distribute personal consumer data, private residential addresses, personal mobile numbers, credit card data, or sensitive personal information.
How do you adhere to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA)?
Under CCPA and CPRA, California residents possess the right to know what personal information is processed, request deletion, and opt-out of the sale or sharing of their information. We maintain an automated Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) intake system and process opt-out requests within 24 to 48 hours.
How does your data align with CAN-SPAM requirements?
The United States CAN-SPAM Act requires transparent header data, non-deceptive subject lines, physical mailing address disclosure, and prompt opt-out execution. Our datasets contain verified, accurate corporate domains and physical business addresses, enabling your sales team to deploy fully compliant outreach.
How can an individual request data removal or opt-out?
Any business professional can submit their corporate email address via our interactive Opt-Out form on this page or by emailing [email protected]. Once submitted, their records are permanently added to our global suppression master file within 24 hours.
Does using B2B Contact Lists carry TCPA telemarketing risk?
No. Because B2B Contact Lists is strictly phone-free, our datasets do not include phone numbers or telemarketing calling lists. This architecture completely eliminates TCPA statutory liabilities, automated dialer penalties, and Do Not Call (DNC) registry compliance burdens for our clients.
What security standards protect your database infrastructure?
Our multi-cloud repository is fortified with AES 256-bit encryption in transit and at rest, SOC 2 Type II aligned data handling policies, multi-factor administrative access, and continuous intrusion vulnerability scanning.
Are your datasets suitable for Canadian (CASL) and UK (PECR) outreach?
Yes. In Canada, CASL permits B2B outreach under the 'conspicuously published' business contact exception where communications directly relate to the recipient's professional capacity. In the UK, PECR permits B2B electronic mail marketing to corporate employees provided an opt-out is included.
