What our crawler reads
Our crawler, DataInsideBot, visits a company's public website: its home page and a dozen pages about the company, such as team, leadership, about, contact, press and careers. It reads robots.txt first and obeys it, waits between requests, and never logs in, fills forms or works around a block.
From those pages we keep a person's name, business title, the page we read it on and the work contact details printed for them. Never home addresses, photos, personal emails or anything sensitive.
Every country, the same safeguards
People found on companies' own websites are shown to customers in every country. Their contact details stay masked until a customer reveals them, only details at or above our quality line are sold, and anyone can see what we hold about them and remove it, everywhere at once.
Your record, your choice
Anyone can look themselves up in our Privacy Center with their work email, see everything we hold about them and where each detail came from, get a copy, correct it, stop its sale, object, or delete it. A deletion is kept as one-way codes so you don't come back from another page, and customers who saw your details are told to delete their copies too.
To stop our crawler visiting your site, add a rule for DataInsideBot to your robots.txt; we read it before every visit.
