GDPR Compliance
Last updated: October 2, 2026
We take data protection seriously. This page explains how Anymail Finder (AMF Internet Services Limited) complies with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and similar privacy laws, including the UK GDPR.
1. Our GDPR Commitment
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK GDPR set the standards for how personal data of EU and UK residents must be collected, processed, and protected.
We maintain policies, procedures and contractual safeguards designed to support our compliance with applicable data protection laws, and review them regularly. This includes:
- A Data Processing Addendum (DPA) for all customers,
- Clear procedures for handling data subject rights requests,
- Robust security, privacy, and data retention policies,
- Regular staff training and awareness on data protection.
2. Data Controller and Processor Roles
Anymail Finder may act as both a data controller and a data processor, depending on the context:
- As a Data Processor: We process personal data on behalf of our customers - for example, when finding or verifying contact data you provide.
- As a Data Controller: We manage user account information, billing data, communications, and analytics related to the operation and security of our service. We are also the controller of the business contact information found or confirmed as valid through our service, which we make available to customers as described in our Privacy Policy. We never sell, share or make available to other customers your lists, search history or search inputs as such; those are processed only on your behalf.
As a customer, you act as controller of the personal data you process through Anymail Finder or, where you process that data on behalf of your own customer, as that customer's processor; in the latter case Anymail Finder acts as your subprocessor, as described in our DPA.
When acting as a processor, we only process personal data on your documented instructions and in accordance with our Data Processing Addendum (DPA).
3. Data Processing Addendum (DPA)
We provide a Data Processing Addendum (DPA) that forms part of our Terms of Service and your agreement with us. It defines our obligations as a data processor under Article 28 of the GDPR, including:
- Processing personal data only on your documented instructions,
- Maintaining confidentiality and ensuring authorized personnel are bound by appropriate obligations,
- Implementing technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, and
- Assisting you with compliance obligations and data subject rights requests.
You can request a signed copy of our DPA by emailing team@anymailfinder.com.
4. Data Hosting and Transfers
We host our infrastructure on Amazon Web Services (United States) and Hetzner Online GmbH (Germany).
When personal data is transferred from the EEA to a country that is not covered by an applicable adequacy decision, we rely on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and AWS's Data Processing Addendum and any supplementary measures required by applicable law. For restricted transfers from the UK, we use the UK International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU SCCs as described in our Data Processing Addendum.
We also carry out applicable transfer risk assessments and implement supplementary safeguards where required by law for transfers of personal data outside the EEA and the UK.
We apply the same security and privacy measures to data wherever it is hosted, and we regularly review our infrastructure to minimize transfers outside the EEA where possible.
5. Data Security
We implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access, in accordance with Article 32 of the GDPR.
Our security controls include, among others:
- Encrypted data transmission and storage (HTTPS/TLS),
- Access controls and multi-factor authentication for internal systems,
- Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments,
- Continuous infrastructure and anomaly monitoring, and
- Strict employee access policies and confidentiality obligations.
These measures are reviewed and updated regularly to ensure a high level of data protection and service integrity.
6. Data Retention and Deletion
- Customer account data: Information such as your name, email and team members are retained for as long as your account remains active. You can delete your account at any time from the account deletion page. When you confirm deletion, your account and the data we process on your behalf are permanently deleted from our active systems immediately; this cannot be undone. Residual copies in backups are not used for ordinary business purposes and are overwritten on our normal backup cycle. An account with an active subscription must cancel the subscription first; deletion is possible once the subscription is no longer active. Account deletion does not by itself delete business contact information that we hold separately as a controller; the opt-out and rights process for that information is described in section 7 and in our Privacy Policy.
- Search data and query results: Stored search data are deleted automatically after 1 year for bulk searches, 2 years for single searches made through the web application or browser extension, and 2 weeks for searches made through the API, or immediately when your account is deleted. You can also delete individual searches directly using the Delete button in your search history.
- Logs: API logs, system logs, and access logs used for security, debugging, and abuse prevention are retained for up to 14 days before being automatically purged.
You may also request deletion of your data at any time by contacting team@anymailfinder.com. Verified deletion requests are normally processed within 48 working hours.
7. Data Subject Rights
Depending on the circumstances and the legal basis for the processing, individuals ("Data Subjects") may have rights under the GDPR and UK GDPR to:
- Access their personal data,
- Request correction or deletion ("right to be forgotten"),
- Object to or restrict processing, and
- Request data portability.
We provide two ways for individuals to exercise these rights:
- Opt-out / Blacklist: Individuals can block future lookups of their domain or email address by using our opt-out tool. Once submitted, the address or domain is added to our internal suppression list and is suppressed from future search results. A request to suppress an entire domain must be made by a person authorised to act for that domain. Individuals may also ask us, after we have verified their identity where appropriate, which customer account searched for their address, and we treat an objection to our continued use of their business contact information in accordance with applicable data protection laws, using the same suppression process.
- Direct request: Individuals may contact us at team@anymailfinder.com to request access, correction, or deletion of their personal data. Verified requests are typically processed within 48 working hours.
8. Data Shared with Subprocessors
We assess our subprocessors and require appropriate contractual data protection and security obligations from them. These partners help us deliver our service, manage customer relationships, and operate our business securely.
Our main subprocessors include:
- Amazon Web Services (AWS): Hosting and data storage
- Hetzner Online GmbH: Hosting and data storage
- Crisp: Customer communications and support
- Plausible: Privacy-focused website analytics
- Google: Email delivery and internal communications
- Slack: Internal team communication and support notifications
- Rewardful: Affiliate and referral program management
- Sentry: Application error monitoring
- Postmark (by ActiveCampaign) - Transactional and marketing email delivery
Each subprocessor provides GDPR-compliant data processing terms, and we regularly review their security and privacy practices. We maintain an up-to-date list of subprocessors and notify customers of intended changes to subprocessors, with an opportunity to object on reasonable data protection grounds in accordance with our Data Processing Addendum (DPA).
9. Privacy Policy and Data Protection Officer (DPO)
We maintain a detailed Privacy Policy describing how we collect, use, and protect your data.
Anymail Finder has appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) responsible for overseeing GDPR compliance and managing data protection inquiries.
Contact our DPO: team@anymailfinder.com
10. Data Breach Notification
In the unlikely event of a personal data breach, we will:
- Notify affected customers without undue delay,
- Provide details on the nature, scope, and impact of the breach, and
- Outline the corrective and preventive measures taken.
We also comply with applicable legal obligations to notify supervisory authorities and, when required, affected data subjects.
11. Updates to This Statement
We may update this GDPR statement from time to time to reflect legal, technical, or operational changes. Significant updates will be communicated directly to customers and published on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
