Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information LeadHunter handles, why, and the choices you have. LeadHunter is a tool for finding publicly available business information for legitimate business-to-business outreach.

Information about you as a LeadHunter user

• Account details: your name, email address and a securely hashed password. We never store your password in readable form.
• Security records: sign-in events, IP addresses and actions such as exports, kept in your activity log to protect your account.
• API keys you add for data providers. They are encrypted on the server and never shown again after saving.
• Your leads, lists, notes, tags and export files. These are private to your account.

Business information LeadHunter collects

LeadHunter collects publicly available information about businesses, such as business names, categories, addresses, public phone numbers, public business email addresses, official websites and public social media profile links. It does not collect sensitive personal information, and it only asks optional email providers for generic company addresses such as info@ or sales@, never personal ones.

• OpenStreetMap and Geoapify data is © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database License. Exports include this attribution.
• Google Places details are shown live and are never stored or exported. Only the Google place ID is saved, as the Google Maps Platform terms allow.
• When website checks are turned on, LeadHunter reads the public homepage and contact page of a business website, respecting robots.txt. See how website checks work.

How information is used

Your account data is used to run the service, secure your account and send essential emails such as password resets. Business information is used only to show, organise and export leads for you. We do not sell your data.

Your responsibilities

If you contact businesses found with LeadHunter, you are responsible for following the marketing and data protection laws that apply to you, such as honouring opt-outs and applicable consent rules.

Retention and deletion

You can delete individual leads, demo data, all of your leads or your whole account at any time in Account Settings. Deleting your account removes your leads, lists, notes, export files, API keys and activity history.

Requests from businesses

If you run a business and want your information removed from a LeadHunter account, contact the person who reached out to you, or block our website checks with robots.txt as described on the website checks page.

Security

Passwords are hashed with bcrypt, sessions use secure HTTP-only cookies, API keys are encrypted at rest, and every request is checked so that each account can only access its own data.
