Understanding Your Data Rights: The “Do Not Sell My Info” Principle at DB to Data

DB to Data’s Commitment to Your Privacy

At DB to Data, we operate with a strong commitment to ethical data practices. Our primary service involves compiling and providing B2B and B2C contact lists to our clients for their legitimate business purposes. We acquire this data through various legitimate means, including publicly available sources and reputable third-party data providers who also adhere to strict privacy standards.

Crucially, when we provide data to our clients, we enter into contractual agreements that obligate them to use the data responsibly and in full compliance with all applicable privacy laws. This includes respecting “Do Not Sell” requests and other data subject rights. Our aim is to facilitate responsible data use, not to enable indiscriminate sharing or misuse.

How to Exercise Your “Do Not Sell My Info” or Objection Rights with DB to Data

DB to Data is committed to facilitating your privacy rights. If you believe your personal information is part of our B2B or B2C datasets and you wish to exercise your “Do Not Sell My Info” right (if you are a California resident) or your Right to Object (if you are an EU/UK data subject or based on other applicable laws), please follow these steps:

1. Visit Our Privacy Portal: We maintain a dedicated section on our website or a specific form for data subject requests. This is the most efficient way to submit your request.  https://dbtodata.com/do-not-sell-my-info/

2. Provide Necessary Information: To effectively process your request and accurately identify your data within our systems, we may require certain verifiable information such as:

   • Your full name (current and any past names you may have used).

   • Email addresses that may be associated with you.

   • Phone numbers that may be associated with you.

   • Current and past residential addresses.

   • Any other information that can help us uniquely identify your record without collecting excessive new data.

   Why do we need this? Data providers often have large datasets. Without sufficient identifying information, it’s impossible for us to locate your specific record and ensure we apply your request correctly, protecting the data of others. We will only use this information to verify your identity and fulfill your request.

3. Specify Your Request: Clearly state that you wish to exercise your “Do Not Sell My Info” right or your Right to Object to the processing of your personal data for marketing purposes.

Upon receiving your verifiable request, DB to Data will:

• Locate and Suppress Your Data: We will search our databases for any records associated with the information you provided. If found, we will flag these records to ensure they are no longer “sold” or used for marketing purposes by our clients.

• Communicate with Our Clients (Where Applicable): While we cannot retroactively remove data from lists already provided to clients before your request, we will take commercially reasonable steps to notify our active clients about your opt-out status where feasible and applicable, obligating them to cease processing your data for direct marketing.

• Confirm Compliance: We will confirm with you once your request has been processed, typically within 45 days (or as required by applicable law, with extensions for complex requests).

Our Commitment to Responsible Data Practices

At DB to Data, we understand that our business relies on trust. We are committed to:

• Transparency: Clearly explaining our data collection, processing, and sharing practices in our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions.

• Compliance: Adhering to the ever-evolving landscape of global data protection laws.

• Data Minimization: Collecting only the data necessary for the purposes for which it is intended.
