Rapleaf Data Privacy Statement

Rapleaf is the leader in automated search for people information on the social web. Our solutions help businesses plan online media, gain customer insight, and manage fraud risk. We provide data to our clients as part of our primary product offerings including Marketing Services, Fraud Services and Recruiting Services.

Rapleaf’s clients provide us with customer information to assist us in producing reports useful for their business. We recognize the value to your business of the information you give us and take its privacy seriously.

We believe in the power of transparency, choice, and control when it comes to personal information online. We view privacy and security as fundamental design requirements in our technologies and services and core to our business practices and operations. The purpose of this privacy statement is to help our clients, partners and members of the public understand how the Rapleaf Report product works, and the measures we have taken to protect the privacy of the information we hold.

How does Rapleaf obtain its data?

Rapleaf collects personal information and stores it in the "Rapleaf Database." This data is structured around individual email addresses and contain personally and non-personally identifiable information. We obtain this information from a variety of sources. Our proprietary technology collects information from the Internet that users have chosen to make public. In other words, this means the information we collect is the same information anyone could find on one of the major search engines. What we do is aggregate it into an easy to read report. We also obtain data from other information providers that we use to augment the information we collect.

How do you protect the privacy of data during collection?

We use industry standard technology, including encryption to protect the privacy of the data we share necessary to collection.

To be perfectly clear how serious we are about protecting the privacy of that information, we have pledged to never sell, rent, lease, or reveal email addresses either received confidentially from our clients or independently collected by our systems. We will only disclose email addresses in situations where we have explicit consent to do so.

Will Rapleaf contact my customers directly?

We never send unsolicited email or spam based on an address you give us.
