High risk across multiple dimensions. Only use with public, non-sensitive data.
The terms do not explicitly state whether user content is used for AI training. However, Hunter crawls public web pages and collects professional data, and the broad data collection practices combined with lack of explicit opt-out for AI training purposes creates moderate risk.
“Hunter crawls public web pages to collect data related to professional profiles. Only public web pages and publicly available content are processed.”
Section 5 grants Hunter a perpetual, worldwide license to use company names and logos for marketing and sales efforts. While revocable, the perpetual and worldwide scope is broad and risky for enterprise users.
“By creating an account, you grant Hunter a perpetual worldwide license to use your company's name and logo(s) for Hunter's marketing and sales efforts.”
The terms mention Hunter acts as a Processor for various data types and reference data transfers using Standard Contractual Clauses, but do not explicitly detail third-party sharing practices. Moderate risk due to lack of clarity.
“Hunter acts as a Processor for: Campaign Data (emails, recipients, content); Account Management; Data Enrichment; Leads Management.”
The Privacy Policy references a Data Processing Agreement but does not specify retention periods in the provided text. Users have deletion rights but specific retention timelines are unclear, creating moderate uncertainty.
“The personal data you provide to Hunter will be subject to Hunter's Privacy Policy and the Data Processing Agreement: https://hunter.io/data-processing-agreement.”
Section 7 explicitly states Hunter does not transfer any intellectual property to users. This is risky as it leaves unclear ownership of user-generated content and outputs created through the service.
“Hunter does not transfer to you any Hunter or third-party intellectual property.”
The Privacy Policy mentions GDPR compliance with representatives and Standard Contractual Clauses, plus CCPA disclosures. However, no mention of SOC2, HIPAA, or ISO certifications. Moderate compliance posture.
“Hunter uses Standard Contractual Clauses and the International Data Transfer Agreement for transfers outside the EEA. EU Representative: Instant EU GDPR Representative Ltd, Ireland.”
