Privacy notice for business contacts we email
Who we are
Stepe Digital SIA, registration no. 40203711274, Līča iela 12, Lejasciems, LV-4412, Latvia ("we"). We are the controller of the data described here. Contact: adrians@stepedigital.com.
Why you got an email from us
We help US construction and field-service software companies find customers through outbound email. We contacted you, by email or on LinkedIn, because your role at your company (for example founder, CEO or head of sales) makes our service relevant to you.
What data we hold
Your name, job title, company name, company website and size, your work email address, a short note on why your company fits (for example a public funding announcement or job posting), and the history of our emails and your replies.
Where we got it
From Apollo.io (a B2B contact database), your public LinkedIn profile, and public sources such as your company's website, public funding news, public job postings and trade-show exhibitor lists. We check email addresses with a verification service before we write.
Legal basis
Our legitimate interest in offering a relevant business service to people in a relevant business role (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)). We have documented an assessment of this interest. We send at most 3 emails per person and stop as soon as you ask. For recipients in the United States we also follow the CAN-SPAM Act: every email names the sender and our postal address and lets you opt out by replying.
Who processes it for us
Smartlead (email sending), Google Workspace (email hosting), Apollo.io (contact data), MillionVerifier and BounceBan (email verification), and Anthropic (an AI assistant we use to research companies and draft replies). Some of these providers are in the United States. Transfers rely on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework where the provider is certified, or on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses in the provider's data processing terms. We do not sell your data.
How long we keep it
Up to 12 months after our last email to you, then we delete it. If you ask us to stop, we delete your details and keep only your email address on a do-not-contact list, so we never email you again.
Your rights
You can object to our emails at any time. You can also ask for access to, correction of, or deletion of your data, or ask us to restrict its use. Write to adrians@stepedigital.com. We answer within one month.
You can complain to the Latvian Data State Inspectorate (Datu valsts inspekcija, Elijas iela 17, Riga, LV-1050, pasts@dvi.gov.lv, www.dvi.gov.lv) or to the data protection authority where you live or work.
