We have implemented strict data retention and deletion policies to ensure that personal information is only stored for the minimum time needed to complete client requests, fulfill business purposes, and comply with applicable legal or regulatory obligations.

Our Data Retention Practices Include:

• Client-Provided Data: For data provided by clients for processing (e.g., appending or enrichment), we retain the information only for the duration of the requested service. Once the service is complete and the data has been returned to the client, all client-provided data files are securely deleted from our systems within 30 days unless otherwise requested by the client or required by law.
• List Rental Data: For list rentals sourced from third-party providers, data is retained only for the specific duration required to fulfill the client request. After the requested list is delivered, we do not store or archive the data.
• Transaction and Communication Records: We may retain information about your transactions or communications with us for administrative, legal, or compliance purposes. This information may be retained for a longer period as required by law or internal policies, but we will delete or anonymize it when it is no longer necessary.
• Anonymized Data: In cases where it is not feasible to delete data immediately (e.g., for backup purposes), we ensure that such information is securely stored and isolated until it can be permanently deleted. In some cases, we may anonymize the data so it no longer identifies an individual, allowing us to retain it for analytical or operational purposes without compromising privacy.

File Deletion and Security Measures: We utilize secure deletion protocols to ensure all personal information is removed from our active systems after the retention period. Additionally, we apply data protection standards and access controls to ensure that any information retained is securely stored and protected from unauthorized access.

5. DATA PARTNER SELECTION AND SECURITY

In Short: We carefully select and work only with trusted data partners who meet our strict data security and privacy standards. These partners assist us in fulfilling client requests, and we take extensive measures to ensure they handle data responsibly.

To provide high-quality services such as data appending and list rentals, we may work with third-party data partners. We recognize that the security and confidentiality of your data depend on the integrity of our partnerships. Therefore, we implement rigorous selection criteria and security protocols to maintain data privacy at every step.

Our Data Partner Selection Process Includes:

• Due Diligence and Compliance: We conduct thorough due diligence on all data partners before entering into any business relationship. This includes verifying that each partner complies with relevant data privacy laws and upholds high security standards. We prioritize partners who have demonstrated a strong commitment to data protection and regulatory compliance.
• Contractual Obligations: All data partners are required to enter into legally binding agreements that outline strict data handling, confidentiality, and security obligations. These agreements specify that data partners may only process data as instructed by us, solely for the purposes of fulfilling client requests. Our contracts with partners include provisions to prevent unauthorized use, sharing, or retention of data beyond the required period.

Data Security Measures Applied by Our Partners:

• Data Encryption and Secure Transmission: We require all data partners to use industry-standard encryption protocols to protect data in transit and at rest. This ensures that personal information remains secure throughout the transfer and processing phases.
• Access Controls: Our data partners must implement access controls and authentication mechanisms to restrict data access to authorized personnel only. This helps prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration of personal information.
• Incident Response and Reporting: All partners are required to have established incident response plans and to promptly notify us of any data security incidents. We work closely with our partners to investigate and resolve any security issues, ensuring swift and effective action to protect client data.

6. DATA MINIMIZATION AND PURPOSE LIMITATION

In Short: We are committed to collecting, processing, and storing only the minimum data necessary to fulfill specific client requests and legitimate business purposes. All data handling activities are carefully controlled to ensure data is used solely for its intended purpose.

Our Data Minimization Practices Include:

• Limited Collection: We only collect the specific data elements required to fulfill the services requested by our clients, such as name, address, and contact information. We do not collect or retain additional personal information unless it is essential for the processing activity.
• Client-Directed Data Use: All data processing activities are performed strictly according to client instructions. We do not use, analyze, or compile data for any independent purposes beyond the scope specified by the client.
• Restricted Access and Usage: We limit access to personal data only to authorized personnel and partners directly involved in fulfilling the client’s request. This ensures that data is not accessed or used unnecessarily.

Purpose Limitation Practices:

• Defined Processing Purposes: We process data solely for the specific purposes requested by clients, such as data enrichment, appending, or list rentals. We do not repurpose data for other business activities, marketing, or profiling without explicit client authorization.
• No Independent Data Compilation: We do not compile or aggregate personal data for our own use. Any data processed by us is handled exclusively within the parameters of each client request and is not retained for independent business development or analysis.
• Compliance with Client Requirements: We adhere to all client instructions regarding data processing and limit our handling of data to align with these requirements. If a client’s needs change, we work with them to ensure data usage remains consistent with their updated instructions.

Ongoing Monitoring and Review: We regularly review our data minimization and purpose limitation practices to ensure compliance with privacy standards and to make any adjustments needed to maintain our commitment to responsible data handling. By limiting data use to essential purposes, we strive to protect privacy while providing reliable, high-quality services.

No uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized.
