What data we process
Of those who contact us or purchase from us — name, work email address, company, job title, billing country and transaction data. Payment data is processed by Stripe and does not reach our systems; we keep only the transaction identifier.
Of companies that appear in our analyses — registered company name, corporate tax identification number, declared business address and data on their foreign trade operations, drawn from lawfully obtained registers and sources. See Methodology.
Of the people who manage purchasing at those companies — name, job title and business contact details (email on the company's domain, company telephone number), taken from what the company itself publishes, from public registers and from professional directories. We process them on the basis of our legitimate interest, and that of our clients, in addressing a commercial proposal to the appropriate person within a company. We do not process personal email addresses, private telephone numbers or individuals' home addresses.
Operators who are natural persons are excluded from the analyses. Where the person importing or exporting is a natural person and not a company, neither their name nor their identifier appears in any deliverable.
If you appear as a contact for a company you may ask at any time for us to remove or correct your data, free of charge, by writing to [email protected]. We do so in the next monthly release and confirm it to you.
What we use it for
- Providing the contracted service and delivering the reports.
- Responding to enquiries and requests, including removal requests.
- Complying with accounting and tax obligations.
- Improving the analysis method.
We do not use the data of those who write to us to send them marketing campaigns unless they have expressly consented. Transactional communication —delivery of what you requested, the reply to your enquiry, a notice about your subscription— does not require that consent.
Lawful basis
For clients and prospective clients: performance of the contract or pre-contractual steps, and our legitimate interest in carrying on our business, balanced against your rights.
For company data in the analyses: legitimate interest in market research and analysis, as this is information on the commercial activity of legal entities and not personal data of individuals.
Who we share it with
- Stripe (payment processing)
- Cloudflare (site infrastructure and cookieless visit measurement)
- Google (Google Analytics, only if you accept analytics cookies)
- Email providers for sending deliveries and replies
Named reports, with the business contact details they include, are delivered solely to the client who purchased them and under a non-disclosure agreement, which prohibits them from assigning or reselling them. We do not sell standalone contact lists or disclose personal data to third parties outside that framework.
International transfers
We operate from Argentina with infrastructure in the European Union and the United States. Transfers are made under the standard contractual clauses of our providers.
How long we keep it
Client data: for the duration of the relationship and seven years thereafter, for accounting obligations. Enquiries that do not lead to a contract: twenty-four months. Removal requests: indefinitely, because we need the record in order to keep excluding that company.
Your rights
You may request access, rectification, cancellation or objection to processing —the ARCO rights under Mexican legislation— and, where the UK GDPR applies, also portability, restriction and erasure, as well as withdrawing any consent you have given.
Write to [email protected] stating what you are requesting. We do not charge for dealing with it or require any explanation.
If a company wishes to be excluded from our analyses, the procedure is set out in Data removal and does not require invoking any right: asking is enough.
If you consider that we did not handle your request properly, you may complain to the Information Commissioner's Office in the United Kingdom or to the data protection authority in your country.
Cookies and analytics
We measure visits to the site to find out which content is useful. We do so in two ways:
- Without cookies, always. Cloudflare Web Analytics counts visits, page views and the referring page without storing anything in your browser or identifying you.
- With cookies, only if you accept. Google Analytics, through Google Tag Manager, stores analytics cookies to distinguish visits and measure which pages lead to purchases. Until you accept, none of those cookies is stored.
Your choice is stored in your own browser and you can change it whenever you wish by clearing the site's data in your browser; the banner will appear again. We do not use advertising cookies or share browsing data with advertisers.
Changes
We will publish any amendment on this page with its effective date. Changes that substantially affect our clients' rights will be communicated to them by email at least thirty days in advance.
