How Do You Choose a Data Provider/Owner? When choosing a data owner, we recommend asking as many questions as possible, as with B2B data lists, you get what you pay for.
Table of contents
7 Questions you must ask when purchasing a database.
Where do the details originate from?
Are they opted-in contacts or supplied under a legitimate interest licence?
In the case of B2B email addresses, are the contact details personally named?
Is the data supplied under industry description or SIC codes?
What guarantees do you provide regarding the data quality, such as assurances regarding bounced emails?
For what duration is the data provided under the license?
What additional choices can we offer for maximum benefit?
Also, make sure the provider is registered with the ICO.
Remember to note whether the data owner is transparent about the nature of its data.
What is the difference between a Data Owner and a Data Broker?
A Data broker has a hand in gathering types of information not publicly available such as contact details, health records or financial details, with the intention of giving their clients a wider choice. Therefore, making them more valuable than someone who aggregates publicly available data.
A Data Owner licenses their own information, which they compile from Market Research as well as other unique sources of material. They are ultimately responsible for the quality as well as security of this information.
