Every record on Global Database goes through a four-step sourcing, cross-checking, and validation process before it's ever listed for sale, and top-selling datasets are re-verified monthly.
Records are compiled from public business registries, government filings, industry directories, and verified company websites, never scraped from private or consumer sources.
Each record is cross-referenced against at least one secondary public source before it's added to any dataset.
Email formats, domain status, and phone number patterns are validated to flag dead domains, disconnected numbers, and closed businesses.
Top-selling databases are re-verified on a monthly cycle so listings don't quietly go stale between purchases.
We compile records exclusively from public and professional sources: state and national business registries, company filings, industry-specific directories, chamber of commerce listings, and each company's own website. We do not purchase data from unknown third-party brokers, and we do not scrape private social media profiles or consumer data.
This sourcing discipline is slower than mass-scraping the entire internet, but it's why our bounce rates run significantly below industry averages for resold B2B lists.
EU/UK business contacts are sourced and handled with GDPR principles in mind, see our full Compliance page.
All datasets are business contact data, a distinct regulatory category from personal or consumer data.
We process legitimate removal requests from individuals who ask not to be included in future datasets.
Top-selling country and industry databases are re-verified monthly. Lower-volume niche datasets are refreshed on a quarterly cycle. Every product page displays the exact "last verified" date so you always know how current a dataset is before you buy.
Named contacts included in our datasets are professional business contacts (e.g. a company's HR Director or CTO) listed in the context of their public professional role, not private individuals. We honor removal requests and do not include sensitive personal categories of data. Full detail is available on our Compliance page.
We target 96%+ average email deliverability across our top-selling databases, verified through our monthly refresh cycle.

Records are validated through a combination of automated cross-checking against public sources and manual spot-review, prioritized by dataset popularity.
Every product page displays a "last verified" badge showing the most recent refresh date for that specific dataset.
