Privacy Policy

At Apex Growth Data ("we," "us," or "our"), we provide high-integrity B2B market intelligence. We are committed to transparency regarding how we collect, use, disclose, and sell professional data.

This Privacy Policy applies to our website (apexgrowthdata.com) and our data products/services.

1. Data Controller & International HQ

The entity responsible for your data is:

Apex Growth Data
Mława, Poland (European Union)
Email: office@apexgrowthdata.com

2. Information We Collect

A. Professional Contact Data (Our Product)

We collect publicly available business information to facilitate B2B communication. This includes:

• Identifiers: Name, job title, business email address, business phone number.
• Professional Information: Employer name, industry, office location, professional biography.
• Digital Signals: Technology stack used by the company, marketing pixels, public social media engagement metrics (business context only).

B. Website Visitor Data

When you visit apexgrowthdata.com, we automatically collect:

• Log Data: IP address, browser type, operating system, referral pages.
• Cookies: We use strictly necessary cookies to ensure website performance.

3. How We Collect Data (Methodology)

Unlike traditional scrapers, our data is human-verified. Sources include:

• Official government business registries (e.g., Secretary of State filings).
• Corporate websites and press releases.
• Professional networking sites (public profiles only).
• Direct verification (SMTP handshake and manual phone validation).

4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR - EU/UK)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal basis for processing professional data is Legitimate Interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Our legitimate interest is to enable businesses to conduct B2B marketing and sales. We have conducted a Legitimate Interest Assessment (LIA) to ensure this does not override your fundamental rights.

5. California Residents Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a resident of California, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the CPRA, grants you specific rights.

Notice of Sale of Personal Information

We sell professional contact information to third-party businesses for marketing purposes. This is our core business model.

Your Rights:

• Right to Opt-Out ("Do Not Sell My Info"): You have the right to direct us not to sell your personal information.
• Right to Know: You may request disclosure of the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.
• Right to Delete: You may request the deletion of your personal information from our database.

To exercise any of these rights, please email office@apexgrowthdata.com with the subject line "CCPA Opt-Out". We will process your request within 15 business days.

6. Data Retention

We practice "Data Hygiene." We retain professional data only as long as it is verified as accurate. We conduct quarterly verification cycles. If a contact is found to be invalid (e.g., bounced email), it is permanently removed from our active database.

7. Security Measures

We employ enterprise-grade security to protect data, including:

• Encryption of data in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest.
• Strict role-based access control (RBAC) for our internal team.
• No online searchable database (to prevent mass scraping). Data is delivered offline via secure channels.

8. International Data Transfers

We are headquartered in Poland (EU). Data collected from US sources may be transferred to and processed in the EU. We ensure these transfers comply with applicable laws, utilizing Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) where necessary for transfers out of the EEA.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our services or legal obligations. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page indicates the latest revision.
