Privacy Policy
Introduction to eBusiness Prospects Services
eBusiness Prospects and its various affiliates and subsidiaries provide to clients a wide variety of data management, distribution, analytic and marketing services, which help our clients and the platforms and partners they work with to provide more relevant marketing and communications, and to understand their consumers better. These clients may reach their customers and others, for instance, through direct mail, email, fax, phone, display, mobile and multi-media channels. Many of these services are described in detail on our website, https://www.ebprospects.com
Most of the information that we handle is not collected on this website, but rather through relationships we have with other companies such as data suppliers, business partners (such as ad networks and other online partners), data services providers, agencies and our clients. We nonetheless provide this Privacy Policy as a service to consumers and others who want to learn more about the data we handle and how we use it.
Data Compilation
eBusiness Prospects receives data from, and handles data on behalf of, a variety of consumer-facing companies, applications and services, business-facing companies, and data compilers and suppliers. We also may obtain data through public sources, such as census data and other public records. Our B2B database is compiled from reputable sources such as:
- Documents from the government
- Business-to-Business Directories
- Reports for the Year
- Filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and Newspaper Subscription Offers
- Email sign-up information Campaigns
- Attendee lists for business tradeshows
- Information from the public record
- Subscription sites’ registration process
- Postings in the community
- Utility transaction reports from across the country
- Data from transactions
- Phone surveys with every business, web-based registrations or offers, and subscription offers to business trade magazines
Our Services and How We Use Personal Information
We use and make available Personal Information for various purposes. For instance:
- We help marketers to deliver, target and optimize direct mail and email campaigns, display, mobile and social media marketing;
- We help marketers to measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns (online and offline), such as by determining which messages are most likely to be seen or opened by which types of consumers, or which types of ads are most likely to lead to purchases;
- We sometimes create sets of consumer attributes – categories of personal interests that are grouped together based on common interests or preferences (“Data Segments”). These Data Segments may be associated with a person, household, or when used online, a unique online identifier, such as enjoying sports, travel, living in a middle-class neighborhood, or being a member of a certain profession. Marketers may use these Data Segments to tailor more relevant ads and offers to groups of users, or to learn more about their own customers and improve their own databases.
- We provide other data services, such as (but not limited to) verification, record look-ups, B2B records and services, and other analytics and database tools.
Sometimes, we may use Personal Information and Data Segments to help marketers and other data platforms perform “cross-channel” marketing – analyzing, locating and creating potential marketing “audiences” through multiple channels, e.g., web and mobile, or TV/radio.
In addition, when we work with online marketing applications such as through web-based, mobile, or cable TV technologies, these marketing applications may de-identify Personal Information (such as by creating a “hashed” version of an email address, or another associated identifier) in order to reach consumers through online display media.
The above is not necessarily an exclusive description of the ways we may employ Personal Information and other data. (You may learn more about our products and services by reviewing descriptions of our services on our website.) Generally, however, by permitting marketers to reference Personal Information and other data when they send offers to their customers and others, we do so to help increase the likelihood that marketers will send relevant and desired, rather than unwanted offers, content, coupons and ads.
