Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy Overview
1. Data Collection and Use
Business and professional contact data
LeadIQ maintains a “Directory Database” for B2B sales prospecting and recruitment. Profiles may include:
- Full name
- Professional email addresses and phone numbers
- City and postal address
- Job title, department, employer and employment history
- Education
- Related social-media profiles
LeadIQ says it does not intentionally collect sensitive information—such as health, biometric, political, religious, or racial data—or information about minors.
Data may come from licensed data providers, public sources, market research, inferred corporate email patterns, and information contributed by LeadIQ users through its Data Community.
Information from users and customers
Users may provide names, work contact details, company information, job title and payment information. Payment data is processed by a third-party payment processor and is not retained by LeadIQ.
LeadIQ also collects usage information, including session times and activity, to operate, research and improve the Services.
Integrated accounts
If you connect LeadIQ to a CRM, email, calendar or similar service, LeadIQ may process professional contact information stored there. The policy states that it does not sell customer information supplied through integrations unless the user expressly agrees to participate in the Data Community.
For Google integrations, LeadIQ says it will follow Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
Cookies and tracking
LeadIQ collects technical and browsing information such as IP address, approximate location, browser, operating system, page requests and referring URLs. Cookies support preferences, analytics and potentially targeted advertising. Disabling cookies may reduce functionality. The Site does not currently honor “Do Not Track” signals.
LeadIQ uses information to provide and secure Services, improve its products and database, communicate with users, comply with law, enforce agreements, and operate the Directory Database.
2. User Rights
All users may request access, correction, review or deletion through the Privacy Center or privacy@leadiq.com. LeadIQ may require identity verification.
If your professional profile appears in the Directory Database, you may request removal. LeadIQ says it will place the profile on a suppression list, but the policy does not clearly explain whether copies already obtained by customers will be deleted.
EEA residents receive GDPR rights, including:
- Access and information
- Correction
- Erasure
- Restriction of processing
- Data portability, where applicable
- Objection to processing
- Withdrawal of consent
- Complaint to a data-protection supervisory authority
LeadIQ aims to respond to GDPR requests within one month. Rights may be limited by legal obligations or competing lawful grounds.
3. Third-Party Sharing
LeadIQ may share necessary information with service providers supporting technology, marketing, accounting, legal and other operations. It also shares Directory Database information with customers, which may use it as independent data controllers under GDPR.
Information may be disclosed to:
- Law enforcement or courts when legally required
- Parties involved in a merger, bankruptcy, acquisition or asset sale
- Advertising partners, although the policy provides limited detail about what they receive
Once customers obtain and use Directory Database information, LeadIQ has less control over how they process it.
4. AI/ML Training
The policy does not expressly state whether personal data is used to train artificial-intelligence or machine-learning models. It refers to proprietary algorithms for inferring corporate email patterns and to improving the Directory Database, but does not explain whether user data, integrated data, or customer content is used for AI training. Users seeking certainty should request clarification or avoid contributing data through the Community until clarified.
5. Key User Obligations and Risks
- Do not use the Site or Services if under 18.
- Users integrating third-party accounts authorize LeadIQ to process professional contact data in those systems.
- Community participation is optional, but joining gives LeadIQ access to email accounts, calendars and contacts. LeadIQ says it does not read email content and limits collection to professional contact information.
- Users may leave the Community, which stops collection of new contact information, but the policy does not clearly promise deletion of information already collected.
- Customers are responsible for complying with applicable privacy and marketing laws when using Directory Database data.
- Users should review third-party privacy policies when following external links.
- No security system is guaranteed to be completely secure.
6. Liability and Disputes
This document is a privacy policy, not a complete contract. It contains no clear governing-law clause, arbitration requirement, forum-selection clause, warranty disclaimer, or limitation of liability. It also does not specify a dispute-resolution process. The policy reserves disclosure rights for legal proceedings and enforcement, but users must look to LeadIQ’s separate Terms of Service for contractual liability and dispute provisions.
7. Changes
LeadIQ may amend the policy periodically. It will update the policy date and may contact users. Users are encouraged to check the policy regularly. Notice is therefore not guaranteed to be sent individually, except that ownership or use changes in a business transaction will be communicated by email and/or prominent Site notice.
Terms of Service
LeadIQ Terms of Service — User Overview
*Last updated: September 16, 2025. This is a practical summary, not legal advice. The linked Privacy Policy, any Data Processing Addendum (DPA), Order Form, and Master Subscription Agreement (MSA) may contain additional or controlling terms.*
1. Data Collection and Usage
LeadIQ’s Services involve professional contact and business information (“Data”), including information you:
- Receive through LeadIQ’s database;
- Submit for enrichment, matching, cleansing, or updating;
- Provide through integrations with third-party applications, such as a CRM;
- Submit to LeadIQ’s AI features as “Inputs,” and receive as “Outputs.”
LeadIQ may:
- Research, verify, supplement, and update professional contact information;
- Add verified information to its own database;
- Use email deliverability information, such as bounce data, to improve its database and remove invalid addresses;
- Collect and analyze aggregated usage and performance data for service improvement, research, marketing, benchmarking, and publishing statistics;
- Access, store, and use information from connected third-party services as reasonably necessary to provide the Services.
The Terms incorporate LeadIQ’s separate Privacy Policy, which governs broader personal-data collection and processing. Users should review it because this document does not specify all categories of personal data, retention periods, security measures, or deletion practices.
2. User Rights and Responsibilities Regarding Data
The Terms do not provide a detailed list of individual privacy rights, such as access, correction, deletion, portability, or objection. Those rights may arise under applicable law and may be addressed in the Privacy Policy or DPA.
For European data, the parties agree that the LeadIQ DPA and Standard Contractual Clauses apply. Importantly, your organization are treated as the data Controller of EU personal data obtained from the Services. You are responsible for:
- Complying with GDPR, ePrivacy, UK privacy law, CCPA, CAN-SPAM, Canadian anti-spam law, and other applicable requirements;
- Obtaining any required consent before marketing or contacting individuals;
- Securing and keeping Data confidential;
- Monitoring account activity and preventing unauthorized access;
- Handling any required notices, opt-outs, and data-subject requests.
3. Sharing with Third Parties
LeadIQ may share confidential information with employees, contractors, and service providers who need it and are subject to confidentiality obligations. Disclosure may also occur when legally compelled.
If you enable integrations, LeadIQ may access and process data held in the connected third-party service. LeadIQ disclaims responsibility for those third-party services, and you remain responsible for complying with their terms.
The Terms prohibit you from distributing, selling, leasing, transferring, or otherwise making the Services or Data available to third parties.
4. AI and Machine-Learning Training
LeadIQ may use AI Inputs and Outputs to train or otherwise improve its AI Services, but only where they have been:
1. De-identified so they do not identify you, your users, or another person; and
2. Aggregated with data from other customers.
The Terms state that LeadIQ retains intellectual-property rights in Outputs but grants the customer a broad, perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, distribute, display, perform, and create derivative works from those Outputs. Users should avoid submitting sensitive or identifying information unless permitted under their agreement and privacy requirements.
5. Key Obligations and Restrictions
Users must:
- Use the Services only for internal business-to-business sales, marketing, or CRM purposes;
- Restrict access to registered Authorized Users;
- Keep credentials secure and comply with applicable laws;
- Observe plan usage limits. “Unlimited” legacy plans are subject to a 10,000-credit-per-user-per-month fair-use limit.
Users may not scrape, crawl, reverse engineer, copy, resell, disrupt, build a competing product, share credentials, send unlawful spam, or use the Services for harassment, threats, misleading activity, or privacy violations. Breaches may result in immediate suspension or termination.
Subscriptions automatically renew. Annual cancellations generally require at least 30 days’ written notice; monthly cancellations must be submitted before the subscription term ends. Fees and credits are generally non-refundable, and unused credits expire.
6. Liability and Disputes
Services are provided “as is” and “as available.” LeadIQ disclaims warranties concerning accuracy, uninterrupted service, fitness for purpose, and error-free operation, including regarding Data.
LeadIQ generally excludes liability for indirect, consequential, punitive, lost-profit, lost-sales, and lost-data damages. Its total liability is capped at the fees paid in the preceding 12 months.
You must indemnify LeadIQ for claims arising from your breach, unlawful use, or infringement of third-party rights. Disputes require 30 days of informal negotiation, followed by mandatory individual arbitration through the AAA in Santa Clara, California. Class actions and representative proceedings are waived. California law applies, subject to limited court remedies such as interim injunctions.
7. Changes to the Terms
LeadIQ may change the Terms by posting a revised version on its website. Users are expected to review the site regularly. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. The “Last Updated” date identifies the latest revision; no separate direct notice is promised.
Change history
2026-09-05 · Privacy Policy
Summary of Important Changes
1. Effective Date and Contact Information
- The policy is now labeled “Privacy Policy — Last Updated: July 21st, 2026.”
- New privacy contact information is added:
privacy@leadiq.comsupport@leadiq.comfor certain marketing and security-related requests.- The Privacy Center remains available for privacy requests and suppression-list requests.
2. Expanded Marketing Uses
- The stated purpose of processing has changed substantially from legal and compliance activities to marketing in several places.
- LeadIQ now expressly says it may contact individuals about:
- New product features
- Promotions
- Events
- Other news it believes may be of interest
- Individuals may unsubscribe using an unsubscribe link or by contacting
support@leadiq.com.
Risk: The revised language appears to broaden the permitted use of personal information for direct marketing. The diff also appears to remove or relocate some explanations concerning subpoenas, court orders, investigations, and enforcement, although the formatting makes it difficult to determine whether those provisions were deleted entirely or merely moved.
3. Directory Database and Profiling
- The policy now more clearly describes LeadIQ’s Directory Database as an up-to-date database of professional profiles and contact information.
- The database may be used by customers for:
- Business-to-business sales prospecting
- Recruitment
Risk: This confirms a broad commercial use of professional contact information and profile data. Individuals may receive marketing or recruitment outreach based on information compiled into the database. The policy does not, in this diff, add detailed limitations on profiling, data sources, retention, accuracy, or objection rights.
4. Advertising and Tracking
The “Advertising Partners” language is revised to state that LeadIQ may partner with third-party advertising networks and social media platforms that may:
- Use technologies such as cookies;
- Collect information about use of the Site over time and across other websites and services; and
- Serve ads tailored to users’ interests on LeadIQ’s Site or other websites.
Risk: This is an express disclosure of cross-site tracking and interest-based advertising. Depending on jurisdiction, this activity may trigger consent, opt-out, “sale/share,” or targeted-advertising rights.
5. Law Enforcement and Business Transactions
- Law-enforcement disclosure language is reorganized and appears to retain disclosures for legal requests, proceedings, enforcement of rights, and suspected violations of laws or agreements.
- Business-reorganization language continues to address disclosures in connection with bankruptcy, mergers, acquisitions, or reorganizations.
6. AI Model Training
- No express change regarding use of customer data to train AI models is identifiable in the supplied diff.
- The diff does not add or remove language expressly authorizing model training, machine learning, generative AI development, model improvement, or use of customer content for those purposes.
- Any AI-training terms may exist elsewhere in the policy, Terms of Service, or customer agreements and should be reviewed separately.
2026-08-21 · Privacy Policy
Summary
The diff does not include the actual contract language that was added, deleted, or replaced. It only states:
> “Added approximately 115 words to the document”
Accordingly, it is not possible to determine:
- What contractual rights or obligations changed;
- Whether liability, indemnity, confidentiality, or termination provisions were amended;
- Whether customer data may be accessed, retained, shared, or disclosed differently;
- Whether the provider may use customer data to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or improve AI models; or
- Whether any new consent, opt-out, ownership, or security terms apply.
AI Training and Data-Use Risks
No conclusion can be drawn about AI-model training from the information provided. The added language should be reviewed for terms such as:
- “train,” “fine-tune,” “improve,” “develop,” or “enhance” models or services;
- Use of “customer data,” “inputs,” “outputs,” prompts, files, or usage data;
- Broad licenses allowing the provider to copy, modify, analyze, aggregate, or create derivative works;
- “De-identified,” “aggregated,” or “anonymized” data provisions;
- Provider rights to retain data after termination;
- Sharing data with affiliates, subprocessors, or third-party model providers;
- Customer opt-out, consent, deletion, or data-isolation rights; and
- Any exclusion of sensitive, personal, confidential, regulated, or customer-provided data from training.
Key Limitation
Because the actual additions and deletions are missing, no reliable legal-risk assessment can be performed. The complete redline or the precise 115-word addition is needed for analysis.
2026-08-20 · Privacy Policy
Summary of Important Changes
1. Policy date and contact information
- The policy is now identified as “Last Updated: July 21st, 2026.”
- New or clarified contact channels include:
privacy@leadiq.comfor privacy requests and suppression requests.support@leadiq.comfor marketing-related matters and security inquiries.- The Privacy Center remains available for privacy requests.
- The policy’s contact section has been substantially reformatted and now expressly invites questions about the policy or LeadIQ’s treatment of personal information.
Risk: The diff contains formatting and structural corruption in several places. The final published policy should be reviewed carefully to ensure no headings, legal exceptions, or sentences were unintentionally omitted.
2. Expanded marketing use of personal information
The “Legal & Compliance” purpose has been replaced in part with a broader “Marketing” purpose. LeadIQ now states that it may contact individuals about:
- New product features;
- Promotions;
- Events; and
- Other news believed to be of interest.
The policy provides an unsubscribe link or directs individuals to support@leadiq.com.
Risk: This is a material expansion from compliance and enforcement uses to promotional communications. Organizations should assess whether applicable consent, notice, opt-out, and electronic-marketing requirements are satisfied, particularly for EEA or other regulated individuals.
3. Expanded Directory Database description
The policy now expressly states that LeadIQ compiles an up-to-date database of professional profiles and contact information for customers to use for:
- Business-to-business sales prospecting; or
- Recruitment.
Risk: This makes the commercial and recruitment use of professional contact data more explicit. It may increase transparency, but also highlights potential issues involving profiling, legitimate-interest assessments, accuracy, notice, opt-out rights, and restrictions on recruitment or direct marketing data use.
4. New advertising and cross-site tracking disclosure
The policy adds that LeadIQ may partner with third-party advertising networks and social media platforms that use technologies such as cookies to collect information about site use over time and across other sites and services. This information may be used to serve interest-based advertisements on LeadIQ’s site and elsewhere.
Risk: This is a significant expansion in disclosed data sharing and tracking. It may constitute targeted advertising, “sale,” or “sharing” under certain U.S. privacy laws and may require consent mechanisms, cookie controls, opt-outs, or additional disclosures.
5. Law-enforcement and business-transfer provisions
The law-enforcement disclosure is reorganized and clarified to cover lawful requests, legal proceedings, defense of legal rights, and suspected violations of U.S. law or LeadIQ agreements. The business-reorganization provision continues to cover bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, and reorganization scenarios.
6. AI-model training
No express change regarding use of customer data or personal information to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or improve AI models appears in the provided diff. The amendments do not add an AI-training authorization, nor do they expressly prohibit such use.
Risk: Because the diff does not address AI training, customers should not assume that their data is excluded from model training. This issue should be confirmed in the applicable customer agreement, data-processing addendum, security documentation, or AI-specific terms.
2026-08-18 · Privacy Policy
Summary
The supplied diff does not include the actual contractual language. It only states:
> “Added approximately 115 words to the document”
Because the added wording is not provided, it is not possible to determine:
- What contractual rights or obligations changed
- Whether liability, indemnity, confidentiality, security, termination, or governing-law provisions were modified
- Whether the customer’s data may be used to train, improve, or evaluate AI models
- Whether any AI-training use is subject to consent, opt-out rights, anonymization, aggregation, or other limitations
- Whether the provider may retain customer data after termination or use it for product development
- Whether customer data may be shared with affiliates, vendors, or other third parties
AI-Training Risk Assessment
No conclusion can be reached regarding AI-model training from the information supplied. The added language should be reviewed specifically for terms such as:
- “train,” “fine-tune,” “improve,” “develop,” or “evaluate” models
- “machine learning,” “artificial intelligence,” or “generative AI”
- “customer data,” “content,” “inputs,” “outputs,” or “usage data”
- Rights granted to use data in “deidentified,” “aggregated,” or “anonymized” form
- Whether use is limited to providing the services or extends to general product improvement
- Whether the customer can opt out or must provide affirmative consent
- Restrictions on using confidential, personal, regulated, or proprietary information
- Data deletion, retention, and subcontractor obligations
Information Needed
Please provide the actual 115-word addition and, preferably, the surrounding original language. Without the text of the amendment, no reliable legal-risk analysis can be performed.
2026-08-18 · Privacy Policy
Summary
The provided diff does not include the actual amended language. It only states that approximately 115 words were added. As a result, it is not possible to determine:
- What contractual obligations or rights changed;
- Whether liability, confidentiality, security, payment, termination, or governing-law provisions were affected;
- Whether the customer’s data may be used for artificial intelligence or machine-learning purposes;
- Whether customer data may be used to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or improve models;
- Whether data may be retained, anonymized, aggregated, shared with third parties, or transferred internationally; or
- Whether the customer has any opt-out, deletion, audit, or objection rights.
AI Training and Data-Use Risk
No conclusion can be reached about AI-model training from the information supplied. The added 115 words could potentially introduce important permissions, including rights to use customer content, prompts, outputs, usage data, metadata, or personal information to develop or improve AI systems. However, the actual wording is required to assess this.
Particular language to review includes terms such as:
- “train,” “fine-tune,” “improve,” or “develop” models;
- “customer data,” “content,” “inputs,” “outputs,” or “usage data”;
- “de-identified,” “aggregated,” or “anonymized” information;
- Rights to share data with affiliates, vendors, or AI providers;
- Indefinite retention or continuing rights after termination; and
- Customer consent, opt-out, deletion, or restriction mechanisms.
Required Information
Please provide the full text of the additions, together with the surrounding original language if the additions modify or qualify existing provisions. Without that text, a reliable legal-risk analysis cannot be performed.

No
Between 2023-03-04 and 2024-03-15 · Privacy Policy
Summary of Important Changes
1. AI model training
- No express provision was added or removed concerning the use of customer data to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or improve AI models.
- The diff does not state whether customer-provided data, usage data, or outputs may be used for AI training.
- Risk: The policy remains silent on a potentially important customer concern. If LeadIQ uses customer data for AI development, that use is not clearly disclosed in this revision. Customers should review the agreement, product terms, data-processing addendum, and any AI-specific terms for separate language.
2. Expanded marketing and advertising use
- The stated purpose formerly described legal and compliance activities, including responding to subpoenas, enforcing agreements, and investigating violations. It is replaced in part with a broader Marketing purpose.
- LeadIQ may now contact individuals about:
- New product features;
- Promotions;
- Events; and
- Other news believed to be of interest.
- The policy adds an unsubscribe process through an unsubscribe link or
support@leadiq.com. - LeadIQ also states that it may partner with advertising networks and social-media platforms that use cookies or similar technologies to track site use over time and across other sites and services and serve interest-based advertising.
- Risk: This creates greater disclosure and potential sharing of browsing or usage information with advertising partners. Depending on jurisdiction, this may constitute “sale,” “sharing,” targeted advertising, or profiling and may trigger opt-out or consent requirements.
3. Directory Database purpose clarified and expanded
- The policy now expressly describes a Directory Database containing an up-to-date database of professional profiles and contact information.
- It states that customers may use the database for business-to-business sales prospecting or recruitment.
- Risk: This confirms a broad commercial purpose for compiling and distributing professional contact information. Individuals may object that their information is being profiled or used for marketing or recruitment, and customers should assess compliance with applicable direct-marketing, data-broker, employment, and privacy laws.
4. Law-enforcement and legal-disclosure language reorganized
- The legal-disclosure provisions appear to be moved and reworded, covering lawful requests, legal proceedings, defense of legal rights, suspected violations of U.S. law, and breaches of LeadIQ agreements.
- The substance remains broadly permissive, but the heavily interleaved diff makes it difficult to confirm whether any disclosure authority was materially narrowed or expanded.
- Risk: The revised wording should be checked in the clean policy to ensure the legal-disclosure exceptions remain complete and internally consistent.
5. Contact and administrative updates
- The privacy contact email is added or standardized as
privacy@leadiq.com. - Security inquiries are directed to
support@leadiq.com. - The policy adds a “Last Updated: July 21st, 2026” date and makes minor formatting and section-numbering corrections.
