Public data policy
Last updated: September 8, 2026
RadarLeads runs on information that businesses publish about themselves in open sources. This policy explains with complete clarity exactly what data we collect, where it comes from, what we do NOT collect as a matter of principle, the legal grounds we operate on, and how a business can opt out of future searches. Transparency here is not a formality: it is what makes our product possible at all.
1. What counts as public data for RadarLeads
We treat as public data only the commercial information a business deliberately publishes so that anyone can find it, verify it and contact it. This is the case of the profile a business opens on public business maps and directories: by doing so, it publishes its trade name, category, address, contact phone, website, opening hours and exposes its public ratings and reviews.
That act of publication defines the scope of our processing: RadarLeads gathers the same fields any person would see when opening the business listing — nothing more, nothing less. Every record we deliver includes the link to its source listing, so you — and the business itself — can verify in one click what was published and when.
2. What data we actually collect
For each business we process strictly commercial fields: business name, category, physical address, customer-facing published phone, website, opening hours where shown, average rating and review count of the public listing, plus the link to the listing. These are the same fields most businesses publish with the explicit goal of being contacted.
We process these fields to deliver them to our customers as B2B prospecting lists, together with operational metadata (collection date and source). We do not build behavioral profiles, do not infer personal characteristics and do not enrich records with cross-references that go beyond the public listing.
3. What we do NOT collect, as a principle
We do not collect personal data of private individuals: no consumer mobile phones, no personal emails, no home addresses, no photographs or names of people unrelated to the business’s commercial contact. If a published field mixes evident personal data (for example, the owner’s given name as a person), we handle it with the minimum possible presence and honor any deletion request immediately.
We also do not access private or paid databases, leaked records, content behind logins, nor do we use techniques that violate technical access terms. We do not collect individuals’ geolocation signals, third-party cookies or children’s data. Our scope ends where the business’s own published information ends.
4. How we collect: sources and frequency
Collection is performed through specialized infrastructure providers (such as Apify) that query public business maps at reasonable rates, respecting the availability of the source service. Only fields visible to any visitor of the listing are extracted; we do not simulate user behavior to unlock restricted content.
The data is a snapshot of the moment of the query: businesses change phone numbers, close or move, and public listings do not always reflect it instantly. That is why we show the collection date on each record and recommend verifying the data on the source listing before high-impact campaigns.
5. Legal grounds for the processing
We operate on the basis that commercial information published by a business in order to be contacted is, by nature, meant for commercial contact: the business that opens a public listing with its phone expects potential customers to call. Our processing respects that expectation and limits it to business prospecting.
Under the GDPR (Spain/EU), we process company contact data under legitimate interest in B2B prospecting, weighed and documented, respecting the right to object at all times. Under the LFPDPPP (Mexico), we apply the principles of lawfulness, purpose, proportionality and minimization. In all cases, the customer’s subsequent use of the data must comply with each country’s regulations (anti-spam, telemarketing exclusion registries and e-commerce rules).
6. Businesses’ rights: opt-out, correction and contact
If you own or represent a business and do not want to appear in RadarLeads searches, you can opt out by writing to contacto@radarleads.com with the link to your listing or with your trade name and city. We process the exclusion within a maximum of ten (10) business days and apply it to all future searches.
You can also request correction of a processed record, confirmation of whether your business appears in our records, or information about which customer received your listing. The opt-out is free, permanent for future collections and requires no justification: your public listing will keep existing on the source map, but RadarLeads will stop including it.
7. Our customers’ responsibilities
Anyone using RadarLeads undertakes commitments that are part of our Terms of service: contacting only for legitimate commercial purposes, identifying themselves clearly when calling or writing, respecting each country’s telemarketing exclusion lists, immediately honoring do-not-contact requests, and complying with the GDPR, the LFPDPPP or the local regulation applicable to their campaign.
Public data is not unlimited permission: a business address serves to propose a service, not for untargeted mass sending without identification or for deceptive content. For any doubt about correct use, our team advises customers by email; reselling raw data and using it to contact private individuals are expressly prohibited.
8. Ongoing review and changes to this policy
We periodically review sources and processed fields to keep this document faithful to the service’s actual practice, and adjust the scope if a source changes its public nature. Updates to this policy are published on this page with their date, and material changes are communicated to active customers.
Any question about this policy, an opt-out or a correction is handled at contacto@radarleads.com within one business day. We would rather drop a record than process one on weak grounds: that rule resolves most public-data dilemmas.
