Let's be clear about data
Only corporate and public data
The directory holds companies' corporate details and contact channels, plus employee details published in public sources: name, job title and a work email on the company's own domain (some are estimates and are marked as such). Personal email addresses such as Gmail or Hotmail, home addresses and phone numbers that haven't been made public aren't collected.
Your email stays yours
We don't send your email. When you click "Open in your email", the draft opens in Gmail, Outlook or your email app; you press Send. We don't ask for your password, your inbox or access to your account.
You're in control of your data
When you sign up, you read the KVKK privacy notice and give explicit consent. Your logbook and notes are private to you; you can delete your account and all your data in one step.
