Where does IEI get the Business Information for its customers?

IEI creates and manages profiles of business people and companies on behalf of our customers. Data is sourced from multiple primary and public sources. Once we have collected Business Information about a person or company, we deliver it in a secure fashion our customers.

IEI obtains the data in several ways including:-
(1) Our search technology scans the web and gathers publicly available information.
(2) We gather primary information through market research surveys and phone interviews conducted by our in-house research team. The names of our customers are freely disclosed upon request.
(3) Sources at these companies may contribute Business Information about themselves or other people and companies.

Contact data on publicly available web sites may be collected for the following Business Information, if we are contacted to confirm or correct data records:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Job title and department
  • Business phone numbers (general, direct and fax)
  • Company name
  • Postal address of company
  • Business related postal address of person
  • Corporate website URLs
  • Social Networking URLs

From the headers of emails send to IEI to voluntarily supply us with information, we may collect:

  • The date the email message was sent or received
  • Email addresses, names and job titles of recipients and senders

To ensure the privacy of individuals in our customers’ databases, we take the following steps:

  • Business Information Only – IEI only handles business-related information. Business contacts that publicly post an address from a consumer-oriented service such as Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo may be included in our deliverables if our customer so specifies.
  • Data Provenance/Anonymity – The Company retains information on when data was gathered, the means through which it was gathered (telephone research, Internet research of a particular public URL, etc.), and which employee performed the work to gather the information, but we only make the research date and source URL available to our customers. Other data are not disclosed. (The only exceptions: See “Disclosures for Legal Reasons,” and “Disclosures to a Buyer of the Company,” below.)
  • Opt Out – Anyone contacted by the Company may request to be removed from our customers’ database at that time. We promptly pas on these requests to our customers for their compliance with the request.
