FreeLeads operates as a business intelligence aggregation platform. The data provided includes but is not limited to: company names, business addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, industry classifications, and employee information.

We explicitly classify our data as “commercial business intelligence” rather than consumer data. However, business contact information may include personal data of individuals acting in their professional capacity (work emails, direct dials).

Business data has an inherently high decay rate. FreeLeads employs verification algorithms and periodic updates, but cannot guarantee 100% accuracy at all times due to:

• Business Closures: Companies may cease operations, merge, or be acquired between our data collection cycles without public notification.
• Personnel Changes: Employees listed may have changed positions, left the company, or updated contact information.
• Corporate Restructuring: Mergers, acquisitions, and rebranding efforts can invalidate previously accurate data.
• Contact Information Updates: Email domains change, phone numbers get reassigned, and offices relocate.
• Verification Lag: Our verification processes operate on scheduled cycles; real-time changes may not be immediately reflected.

FreeLeads provides data “as is” and “as available” without warranties of accuracy, completeness, or timeliness. Users assume full responsibility for verifying information before use.

FreeLeads utilizes automated data collection technologies including web scraping, API integrations, and machine learning algorithms to aggregate business information from public sources.

Our data sources include:

• Public corporate websites and “About Us” pages
• Business registries and Secretary of State filings (public record)
• Professional networking sites with public profiles
• Press releases and news articles
• Trade publications and industry directories
• SEC EDGAR database (for public companies)

We do not collect data from:

• Password-protected or subscription-only databases
• Private social media profiles or communications
• Hacked, breached, or illegally obtained datasets
• Medical records, financial account data, or sensitive personal information

If you believe data has been collected improperly or violates your rights, please contact us immediately at hi@freeleads.site for review and potential removal.

While FreeLeads focuses on business intelligence, we acknowledge that business contact information may constitute personal data under GDPR (EU), CCPA (California), and other privacy regulations.

Our Compliance Measures:

• Legitimate Interest Basis: We process business contact data under the legal basis of legitimate interest for B2B marketing and sales activities.
• Data Minimization: We only collect professional information necessary for business outreach (work email vs. personal email).
• Right to Erasure: Individuals may request removal of their data by contacting hi@freeleads.site. We process removal requests within 30 days.
• Opt-Out Respect: We maintain suppression lists for individuals who have requested removal or opted out.

FreeLeads implements industry-standard security measures to protect our database and your access credentials:

• Encryption: All data transmission occurs over HTTPS/TLS 1.3. Stored data is encrypted at rest using AES-256.
• Access Controls: Strict authentication protocols prevent unauthorized access to our databases.
• No Passwords: We do not collect or store personal passwords, payment card data, or sensitive authentication credentials.
• Regular Audits: We conduct security assessments and vulnerability testing quarterly.

However, no internet-based system is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security against sophisticated cyber attacks, data breaches, or unauthorized access.

Users are responsible for:

• Maintaining secure passwords for their FreeLeads accounts
• Not sharing login credentials or downloaded data with unauthorized parties
• Securing their own devices and networks when accessing our platform
• Immediately reporting any suspected security breaches or unauthorized account access

Your use of third-party websites linked through FreeLeads is at your own risk. We recommend verifying all business information independently before engaging in transactions.

• Decisions made or actions taken based on information provided by FreeLeads

• Bounce rates, spam complaints, or deliverability issues from email campaigns using our data

This limitation applies whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other basis, even if FreeLeads has been advised of the possibility of such damage.

By accessing FreeLeads data, you agree to:

• Verify Before Acting: Independently verify critical business information before making high-value decisions, signing contracts, or shipping products.
• Comply with Laws: Ensure your use of data complies with GDPR, CCPA, CAN-SPAM, TCPA, and all applicable telemarketing/sales regulations.
