Branded
In lead generation campaigns, we often act as a Processor on behalf of our Customers. We call this business model “Branded”.Processing is governed by data processing agreements pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. Lead Data may be stored in a de-identified form for up to 5 years for compliance and legal defense purposes, unless otherwise instructed by the Customer.

Non-Branded
In certain cases, we collect Lead Data and disclose it to one or more companies. We refer to this business model as “Non-Branded” lead generation. Once the Lead Data is disclosed, the receiving company acts as an independent controller of the Lead Data. We retain Lead Data for a period of between two (2) and seven (7) years, depending on statutory limitation periods and local tax or commercial laws in the applicable jurisdiction and whether the Lead Data has been disclosed to third parties.

Every campaign and organic website includes a campaign privacy policy. Please review the campaign privacy policy applicable to the relevant campaign.
