7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

LeadFume uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve user experience. Cookies help us:

  • Remember user preferences
  • Analyze site traffic and improve functionality
  • Prevent fraudulent activities and ensure security

8. International Data Transfers

LeadFume operates globally, and data may be transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA). When transferring data internationally, we implement:

  • Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs)
  • Data Protection Agreements with third-party vendors
  • Legal safeguards as per applicable privacy laws

10. Free Trial and Lead Processing

During your free trial, you can instantly export 5 leads from any search criteria at no cost. Our AI-powered system efficiently collects, processes, and verifies data while also sending real-time emails to these contacts, ensuring compliance with GDPR by allowing them to opt out if they do not wish to share their information. This extra step takes time but ensures high accuracy, legal compliance, and prevents blacklisting or abuse. For the free trial leads (up to 5 contacts), the export is instant, as fewer resources are required, and we do not send real-time emails for opt-out verification in this case.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Data Policy periodically. Users will be notified of significant changes through email or platform notifications. We encourage users to review our policy regularly to stay informed.
