Privacy Policy
Last updated: 9/22/2026
1. Introduction
ProspectIQ ("ProspectIQ," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your personal information and your privacy rights. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you use our website and Service, and describes the rights available to individuals in the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, Australia, and New Zealand.
2. Information We Collect
Account Information
When you register for an account, we collect:
- Name and email address
- Company or organization details
- Sign-in information (including Google account details, if used)
- Billing information, processed by our payment provider
Contact and Outreach Data
If you use our email outreach features, we process the contact information you upload or import (such as business email addresses and names of your prospective contacts), and records of related activity such as opens, replies, and unsubscribe requests.
Automatically Collected Information
We automatically collect certain information when you use the Service, including:
- IP address and approximate location
- Browser type, device information, and operating system
- Usage data, log files, and analytics events
- Cookies and similar tracking technologies (see Section 6)
3. How We Use Your Information
We use information to:
- Provide, operate, and maintain the Service
- Create and manage your account and process payments
- Deliver buying-signal alerts and email outreach features you request
- Send you service updates, security notices, and, with appropriate consent or legitimate interest, marketing communications
- Respond to support requests and inquiries
- Monitor, analyze, and improve the Service
- Detect, prevent, and investigate fraud, abuse, or violations of our Terms
- Comply with legal obligations
4. Email Outreach and Marketing Communications
Because our Service is used to collect business email addresses and send email outreach, we take the following approach to marketing and outreach communications:
- Every marketing or outreach email sent through the Service must include a clear way to unsubscribe, and unsubscribe requests are honored promptly
- We rely on our Customers to have a lawful basis (such as consent or legitimate business interest, as applicable under the recipient's local law) before uploading contact information to send outreach
- We do not sell contact lists or outreach data to third parties, and we do not use Customer contact data to send our own unrelated marketing
- Where you receive marketing email from ProspectIQ itself (rather than through a Customer's outreach), you can opt out at any time using the unsubscribe link in the email or by contacting us
- We aim to comply with the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act, the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), the Australian Spam Act 2003, and New Zealand's Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007
5. Legal Bases for Processing (EEA/UK)
If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process your personal information under the following legal bases:
- Contract: to provide the Service you have signed up for
- Legitimate interests: to secure, support, and improve the Service, and for B2B outreach features where appropriate safeguards apply
- Consent: for optional cookies and certain marketing communications, which you may withdraw at any time
- Legal obligation: to comply with applicable law
6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and understand how the Service is used. Where required by law (for example, under the UK/EU PECR and GDPR rules), we ask for your consent to non-essential cookies before setting them. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may affect Service functionality.
7. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information:
- With service providers: vendors who host our infrastructure, process payments, send email, or provide analytics, under contracts that limit their use of your data to providing services to us
- With your consent: for any other purpose you approve
- For legal reasons: to comply with law, legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of ProspectIQ, our users, or others
- Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this Privacy Policy
8. International Data Transfers
We may process and store information in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where we transfer personal information out of the EEA or UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, or transfer to jurisdictions recognized as providing an adequate level of protection.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Service, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Outreach contact data is generally retained for as long as your account is active or until you delete it, and account information is deleted or anonymized within a reasonable period after account closure, subject to legal retention requirements.
10. Your Privacy Rights
European Economic Area and United Kingdom (GDPR / UK GDPR)
You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port your personal information, to object to certain processing (including for direct marketing), and to withdraw consent at any time. You may lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority, such as the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
California (CCPA / CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion or correction of your personal information, to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising), and to non-discrimination for exercising these rights. You may designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf.
Australia (Privacy Act 1988)
We handle personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles. You may request access to, and correction of, personal information we hold about you, and may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) if you believe we have mishandled your information.
New Zealand (Privacy Act 2020)
You may request access to and correction of personal information we hold about you. If you believe we have not met our obligations under the Privacy Act 2020, you may complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in Section 14. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.
11. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
12. Children's Privacy
The Service is intended for business use by adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on this page and revising the "Last updated" date above.
