Why is Dropcontact the only solution that complies with the GDPR?
Most enrichment providers rely on massive databases of personal information: purchased lists, scraped contacts, or data contributed by their users. These practices raise major GDPR concerns because the data subjects never consented and cannot exercise their rights.
Dropcontact is the only solution that performs enrichment without using or storing any contact database. Our proprietary algorithms generate results in real time, based solely on the minimal information you provide (first name, last name, company). No personal data is retained after processing.
No database, no resale, no reuse = maximal GDPR compliance by design.
Does Dropcontact collect, store, or resell personal data?
No. Absolutely not. Dropcontact never stores, sells, or reuses emails or personal information. The data you send is processed on the fly, enriched, corrected, or verified, and then immediately returned to you.
This means:
- No purchased datasets
- No scraped directories
- No user-contributed data reuse
- No hidden “people databases”
Dropcontact enriches your own data, not a pre-built dataset of contacts.
How does Dropcontact generate results without a contact database?
Dropcontact’s proprietary technology relies on real-time algorithms. We only use:
- First name
- Last name
- Company
From this minimal input, the system dynamically generates or verifies professional contact information with extremely high accuracy, without ever storing anything afterward.
This design ensures transparency, freshness, and GDPR cleanliness that database-based tools simply cannot match.
Is all processing done within the European Union?
Yes. All processing occurs exclusively on European servers, and no personal data is transferred outside the EU. Combined with our no-storage design, this ensures maximum compliance, security, and transparency.
How does Dropcontact reduce GDPR risks for customers?
Using database-driven tools exposes companies to unlawful processing, consent issues, and potential fines. Dropcontact eliminates these risks because:
- No personal data is stored
- No external datasets are used
- All processing is done in the EU
- All processes are fully transparent and documented
This ensures fresher, more accurate, higher-coverage data with minimal legal risk.
How should I respond if a data subject asks about the source of their data?
You may inform the data subject that their information was processed through Dropcontact. If they wish for Dropcontact to stop processing any of their personal data in the future, they can contact us directly at data@dropcontact.io.
Upon receiving such a request, Dropcontact will immediately relay the information to the data controller (our client), who is responsible for taking all necessary measures to ensure that no further instructions are given to process this person’s data.
