The how & why
behind our data.
As a Hunter user, you get access to our unique database that leverages the public web. We analyze millions of websites daily to source professional contact information while fully complying with data protection regulations.
At Hunter, we want to contribute to a more transparent business environment. We aim to help you run cold email campaigns that comply with data protection regulations and respect the privacy of your recipients.
Our data allows you to be more confident when sending cold emails because you can tell your recipients exactly how you found their contact information.
The accuracy of your contact information can make or break your email outreach, and the tools you use to source your email addresses need to be reliable for you to succeed.
That's why we focus on the accuracy of our Email Finder and Email Verifier. Our goal is to find as many emails as possible without sacrificing the quality of the data.
Every day, Hunter visits millions of web pages to find contact information for all types of businesses. Like a search engine, we maintain an index of the entire web and use it to source verified email addresses that fuel your email outreach.
Data providers typically compile dozens of often private and undisclosed sources. At Hunter, we believe data should be processed transparently in a manner every stakeholder approves of. To do so, we follow four principles.
All the contacts in the Domain Search are returned with information about where and when we found them.
In the Email Finder, we indicate if the result is a guess or if it has public sources. The guessed email addresses are based on the public data available at the domain name level.
