• The data is validated and verified on an ongoing and regular basis to ensure the data is accurate and up-to-date.
• DataGenie restricts users to those having a verified business email address to register and use its services and disallows those that use free email services, such as Hotmail/Gmail.
• DataGenie is to register as a data broker in California to comply with CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act).
