## Data

- Freshness: 1 month
- Keep data: no limit
- Use data: Using GetLeads to build and run outbound campaigns, enrich your own CRM, power an agency's client work, or feed an internal tool are all squarely in bounds — that's the product. [...] Your plan gives you a search-and-enrichment interface to the GetLeads contact database, not a license to extract and redistribute it wholesale. Specifically, you may not: Resell or redistribute raw contact data as a standalone dataset, or use bulk exports to build a competing contact database or data product. Systematically scrape or exfiltrate the full database or large fractions of it outside normal search/export usage. Share API keys or account access across organizations that aren't part of the same business. Use contact data in a way that violates applicable data protection law (e.g., CAN-SPAM, GDPR, CCPA) in the jurisdictions you're operating in — GetLeads provides the data, compliant use of it is on you. [...] Can I build a SaaS product on your API? You can only use GetLeads as an enrichment source, paid per credit, and you need to talk to us about that first. Using the unlimited plan to power your product is not allowed.
