How AutoProspector Sources Leads

We build every order from scratch after you buy. Nothing is resold from a static database. This page explains exactly where the data comes from and what it is — and is not.

1. Your intake defines the search

During onboarding you specify the industry/niche, buyer role, geography and keywords you want. That intake becomes the research brief; the accuracy of your intake directly determines the accuracy of the file.

2. AI-assisted research

Our research workflow uses AI models to expand your brief into search patterns, classify candidate businesses, and extract structured fields (company, contact role, website, email, phone, location) from the sources below. AI assists the research; the run is reviewed by a human before delivery.

3. Sources we use

• Publicly available business information published on the open web.
• Public business directories and listing sites.
• Company websites, including public contact and team pages.
• Publicly visible professional profiles and business social pages.
• Public registries and open datasets where available for the target geography.

4. What we do not do

• We do not claim contacts have opted in to receive marketing from you. These are business records compiled from public information, not consented consumer leads.
• We do not scrape gated, password-protected or paywalled areas of a site.
• We do not buy or resell aged third-party consumer lists.
• We do not collect special-category personal data (health, financial account data, biometrics, etc.).

5. Verification and duplicate removal

Every candidate record is verified and de-duplicated before delivery. The full step-by-step workflow is published on our Verification Process page. Every order ships with a 10% buffer of extra verified records.

6. Quality assurance

• Sample review of each run against your written intake.
• Field-level checks for formatting, missing values and obvious junk data.
• Removal of role-based or catch-all addresses where a personal contact is required.
• A 7-day post-delivery review window for you — see the Lead Quality Guarantee.

7. Removal requests

Anyone can ask to be removed from our research dataset by emailing support@autoprospector.pro. We process the request and suppress the record from future runs.

8. Your compliance obligations

Because these are researched business records rather than opted-in contacts, you are responsible for ensuring your outreach is lawful. Read the Compliance Statement before your first campaign.
