Although we are not registered to, PedalTalk operates within the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) and operates within the terms of the Data Protection Act.
Most importantly; we will never share or sell our client, supplier or prospect data to anyone under any circumstances .... even if Cervelo or Bora Hansgrohe offer us money and free bikes.
Much of our data is gathered from personal referrals, and public sources such as company reports, press releases, trade magazines, business news websites, company websites and social media. We focus on key decision makers within those companies, where we strongly believe our business to business proposition is highly relevant to the individual and their company. At times we supplement information from public sources with telephone research.
The key requirements of GDPR and the Data Protection Act are that data is used responsibly, is checked regularly, and that the person listed (or someone associated with that person) has not asked to be removed from that list.
All the actions we take to build prospect email lists (either by opt-in, purchasing data or by building it ourselves are legal, fair, and transparent. Most company email format’s are findable in less than 30 seconds. The majority of the people we reach out to are putting themselves out there in the public domain, social media, LinkedIn, etc. We match our data manually, and providing they’re a potential fit PedalTalk, we add them to our secure and controlled CRM system.
We do not collect data that we do not need. For example: If we’re not going to call a prospects, we do not enter their telephone numbers on to our CRM. If we’re not going to send them anything via post, we don’t put their company addresses on our CRM. We don’t collect any data that we don’t have a clear plan for.
We always try and make sure the personal data we process is accurate and up to date. Everyone we reach out to always has the ability to exercise the right to be forgotten. All client data is available in electronic form on request. And will be supplied to anyone asking for it within 72 hours.
