What data does Coresignal collect?

Data we collect

Coresignal exclusively collects publicly available data from online sources and media. The collected data generally includes business-related information, such as company details (firmographics, funding details, job postings, and product reviews), and limited business-related data about individual professionals who disclose their data to the general public. In its data collection practices, Coresignal strictly refrains from any data collection that involves any kind of data aggregation within secured login areas.

Data we don't collect

• Private data about individuals: any information that is not publicly available and remains private upon the decision of the individual;

• Sensitive data about individuals, even if it is publicly available. This includes information like social security numbers, home addresses, telephone numbers, geolocation data, biometric data, or photos of individuals.

• Material non-public information (MNPI) that is not publicly accessible or is located within secured login areas.

Coresignal has undergone an accreditation process to confirm that we follow the four core principles of ethical web data collection: legality, ethics, ecosystem engagement, and social responsibility.‍

These principles guide Coresignal through every step of data collection – from the data we gather to the partnerships we form with our clients.

1. Legality. We only collect publicly available data that companies and individuals disclose to the general public to facilitate their business and profession-related interests. We strive to ensure our employees are well-informed about personal data protection and the latest developments in privacy regulations. We are supported by legal counsel, who provide expert advice on a range of complex legal matters, including privacy.

2. Ethics. We follow a strict ethical framework, including ethical principles related to websites, customers, proxies, and data.

3. Ecosystem. We are in a symbiotic relationship with the free and open Internet ecosystem and strive to engage it collaboratively, openly and communicatively.

4. Responsibility. We pledge to support and collaborate with civil society and governmental organizations for the benefit of society.
