I. Introduction
This brief summary of certain information in this Policy is intended to help you quickly understand what AdvizorPro is, how you can opt out of our database, and the potential outcomes of remaining in our database.
AdvizorPro collects business contact and similar information related to individuals when they are working in their professional or employment capacity and uses this information to create professional profiles of individuals and profiles of businesses. We provide this information to our customers, who are businesses trying to reach business professionals for their own business-to-business sales, marketing, and recruiting activities.
You can opt out of our database by emailing privacy@advizorpro.com.
By remaining in our database, you may be contacted by our customers when they are conducting their business-to-business sales, marketing, and recruiting activities. Communications you receive from our customers may be relevant to your profession or employment role, but we cannot guarantee that you will find such communications to be relevant or of interest to you.
II. How We Collect Information
AdvizorPro collects data about people and companies through multiple channels, including the web, information provided by our users and customers, information licensed from other companies, and research from our in-house research team.
A. Where does AdvizorPro get the Business Information for its Professional and Business Profiles?
AdvizorPro creates profiles of companies (“Business Profiles”) and individuals in their professional capacity (“Professional Profiles”). Once we have collected Business Information about a person or company, we may combine multiple data points regarding a single person or company into a Professional or Business Profile. The resulting directory of Professional and Business Profiles (the “Directory”) is then made available to the users of the Site, our customers, and our partners. Business Information that may be provided in a Professional Profile includes name, email address (including business and/or other email addresses, such as “freemails” like Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.), job title and department, phone number (general or direct business numbers, faxes, and/or mobile numbers), company name, postal address of company and business-related postal address of the person, employment history, and education history. Professional Profiles may also include links to articles by, about, or quoting an individual, and links to an individual’s social media profiles.
AdvizorPro obtains the data for its Professional and Business Profiles in several ways, including:
Our search technology scans the web and gathers publicly available information.
We license information from other companies.
Our users and customers contribute information about themselves or other people and companies.
Through market research surveys, phone interviews, and other research conducted by our in-house research team.
How does AdvizorPro handle customer information?
Customer Information Collected. AdvizorPro may collect the following information from or regarding its customers: (1) personal contact information regarding users of the Services (“User Information”); (2) information uploaded or otherwise provided to our system by a user of the Services (“Uploaded Information”); (3) usage logs regarding the use of the Site and Services, including logins and other actions taken, time stamps, IP address, device or other ID, and other usage data (“Usage Logs”); and (4) any other information from or relating to users of our Services (“Related Information”) (collectively, “Customer Information”).
Certain users may be provided access to the Services through a company’s license agreement. Such company may require that one or more administrators have global rights to access any and all information of every user who accesses the Services through that company’s AdvizorPro account. Questions or concerns regarding the rights of other individuals in your company to access your information should be addressed to your company.
Use of Customer Information. Customer Information may be used for AdvizorPro’s legitimate business interests in connection with a customer or its users’ use of the Site, including to respond to user inquiries and fulfill user requests, complete transactions, provide customer service, send administrative information, and to personalize user experience with the Site. We may use Customer Information to better our understanding of our users in general and to test, develop, improve, and enhance our Services and Site. We may use Customer Information to contact customers or their users in the future about services, promotions, opportunities, and other general information about AdvizorPro. We may use Customer Information to investigate and prosecute potential breaches of AdvizorPro’s security or license agreements.
AdvizorPro will not disclose Customer Information to any third party except in connection with a legitimate use as set forth in this Policy, in connection with a bona fide legal dispute to which such information is relevant, in response to valid, compulsory legal process, in response to a valid data subject request where required by applicable law, or as otherwise required by law. AdvizorPro will, whenever possible, obtain confidentiality agreements from any service provider to whom Customer Information is disclosed and ensure any recipient service providers are committed to employing appropriate technological security measures.
AdvizorPro employs reasonable security and back-up procedures to protect Customer Information. However, in the unlikely event there is a loss or corruption of Customer Information, AdvizorPro is not responsible or liable for such loss or corruption. We encourage our users to retain copies of all Uploaded Information on their own system.

Visitors to our Site may choose to submit their name, email address, phone number, and/or other information so that they can learn more about our Services, register to take part in a AdvizorPro-sponsored event, participate in a survey, contest, or sweepstakes, or apply to AdvizorPro’s open job positions, among other things. By accessing, using, and/or submitting information through the Site, including by filling out forms on our website, regardless of whether the form is ultimately submitted, a user of the Site consents to the practices described in this Policy with regard to the information collected about them. If you do not agree with this Policy, you should not submit any information through our Site and you must delete all cookies from your browser cache after visiting the Site and refrain from visiting or using the Site.
Managing Professional Profiles. AdvizorPro allows any person to claim their Professional Profile and to update the information listed about them in their Professional Profile. We use the information submitted to update a Professional Profile solely for purposes of verifying the submitter’s identity, updating their Professional Profile information, and honoring their privacy preferences.
Use of our Services. In order to use certain AdvizorPro Services, users may be required to register. From time to time, we may send information about our products and services to a user’s email address. Recipients are provided with an opportunity to opt out of receiving such emails. We may also communicate with users regarding their use of our Services or Site, including changes to this Policy.
Providing information to our customers. We receive information about our customers’ end-users from or on behalf of our customers. Because of the nature of our Services, this information may contain any type of data, but typically includes name, contact information, and company information, such as company name. Any information provided through a website, application, or service on which a customer uses our Services is subject to the customer’s privacy policy and applicable terms. When we provide our Services to a customer, we generally act as a “data processor,” and the customer is considered to be the “data controller,” as further described in the “When AdvizorPro is a Controller” and “When AdvizorPro is a Processor” sections below.
Purchasing our products and Services. Purchasers of our online subscription-based Services may need to provide credit card or other payment information. We will use that information solely for the purpose of fulfilling the purchase request. We will store credit card or other payment information in an encrypted form and will not sell, share, or use it again without prior consent.
Using AdvizorPro Integrations. As part of the Services, AdvizorPro may make available to its customers certain “Integrations.” In using AdvizorPro’s Integrations, such as AdvizorPro’s Salesforce or Hubspot integrations, Business Information from a customer’s CRM may be transmitted to AdvizorPro for purposes of matching or cleansing the customer’s data against AdvizorPro’s database as a feature of the Services. In that event, AdvizorPro may retain and store such Business Information for purposes of identifying potential contacts to supplement the Services, verifying the accuracy of such Business Information, removing out-of-date Business Information from the Services, or otherwise improving AdvizorPro’s research processes and the content provided through the Services. Information so received may be difficult to attribute to one specific source, and we will not disclose the source of particular data, if available, except as required by law or with the customer’s consent. Customers who wish to opt out of AdvizorPro’s use of such information may do so by visiting the ‘Data Sharing’ settings page within the AdvizorPro Admin Portal and adjusting the appropriate controls.
From our affiliates. AdvizorPro may obtain personal information from our affiliates, such as our current and future parents, subsidiaries, or other companies under common control and ownership with AdvizorPro. We may use this information to enhance the information that we already maintain and to improve the accuracy of our records, in addition to other purposes described in this Policy.
From third parties. AdvizorPro may obtain personal information from third-party sources such as our service providers and partners. We may use this information to enhance the information that we already maintain and to improve the accuracy of our records, in addition to other purposes described in this Policy.
Creation of aggregated information. AdvizorPro may aggregate collected information about our users in a form that does not allow users to be personally identified for the purpose of understanding our customer base and enhancing the Site and the Services that we and our partners and customers can provide you.
Creation of information from inferences. We may use personal information we already have in order to draw inferences or to produce scores or ratings. We use scoring models and algorithms that evaluate selected data points to produce a score predicting the likeliness of an employment prospect to respond to a recruiter’s outreach efforts. We do not make any decisions about individuals, and we do not tell our customers whether or not to reach out to a particular prospect.
Automated information collection. We also collect information using cookies and similar technologies, as described below under the “Cookies and Similar Technologies” section.
