Last Updated: June 17, 2026

DataListCanada ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website datalistcanada.com (the "Site") and use our services.

By using the Site, you consent to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

We collect information you voluntarily provide when you:

• Request a quote or data sample — name, company name, email address, phone number, industry, location, and message content
• Purchase a data package — name, company name, email address, phone number, billing details (processed by Stripe — we do not store credit card numbers)
• Contact us — any information you include in your message

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Site, we may automatically collect:

• Device and usage data — IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, and timestamps
• Cookies and similar technologies — used for analytics, functionality, and advertising (see Section 5)
• Meta/Facebook Pixel — if installed, this tracks site visits and conversions for ad optimization

1.3 Information from Third Parties

We may collect data from:

• Apollo.io — business contact data we license and sell (company names, emails, phone numbers, job titles, industries, and locations). This data is sourced from publicly available business information.
• Stripe — payment confirmation data (we do not receive full payment card numbers)
• Meta Platforms (Facebook) — conversion data when you interact with our ads

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To provide and fulfill services — process purchases, deliver data packages, respond to quote requests
• To communicate with you — send order confirmations, fulfillment emails, respond to inquiries
• To improve our Site and services — analyze usage patterns, optimize user experience
• To market our services — send promotional communications (with your consent where required by law), display relevant ads on Meta/Facebook platforms
• To comply with legal obligations — maintain records, respond to lawful requests
• To detect and prevent fraud — verify transactions, monitor for suspicious activity

3. How We Share Your Information

We may share your information in the following circumstances:

3.1 Service Providers

We share data with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate our business:

• Stripe — payment processing (your payment data is subject to Stripe's privacy policy)
• Apollo.io — business data sourcing and contact verification
• Meta Platforms (Facebook) — advertising and conversion tracking via Meta Pixel and Conversions API
• Brevo (Sendinblue) — email communications (if used)
• Web hosting provider — server infrastructure

3.2 Business Transfers

If DataListCanada is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

3.3 Legal Requirements

We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to valid legal requests by public authorities.

3.4 With Your Consent

We may share your information for any other purpose with your explicit consent.

4. Data We Sell vs. Data You Provide

Important distinction: DataListCanada sells B2B business contact data sourced from public records and third-party providers (Apollo.io). This data includes business names, work emails, phone numbers, and job titles of business professionals.

We do not sell or share the personal information you provide to us through quote requests, purchases, or contact forms. That information is used solely to serve you as a customer.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to:

• Remember your preferences and settings
• Understand how you use our Site
• Deliver relevant advertising on Meta/Facebook platforms
• Measure the effectiveness of our ad campaigns

You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences. Disabling cookies may affect your experience on the Site.

Meta Pixel: We may use the Meta Pixel (Facebook Pixel) to track conversions, build audiences, and deliver targeted ads. This pixel collects information about your device and browsing activity. Meta may use this data in accordance with its privacy policy. You can opt out of Meta's ad personalization at facebook.com/adpreferences.

6. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or as required by applicable law:

• Customer data (quote requests, purchases) — retained for 7 years for tax and business record purposes
• B2B contact data we sell — maintained and updated as long as it remains in our catalog; individual records may be removed upon verified request
• Analytics and usage data — retained for up to 24 months

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your information, including:

• SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted to and from our Site
• Secure storage with access controls
• PCI-compliant payment processing through Stripe (we never store full credit card numbers)

No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Rights (Canadian Residents — PIPEDA)

Under Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy laws, you have the right to:

• Access — request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
• Correction — request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete information
• Withdrawal of consent — withdraw your consent to our collection and use of your information at any time (subject to legal or contractual restrictions)
