Commercial prospecting and GDPR : The most talked-about topic on respecting personal data.
Beliefs are manifold, everyone has an opinion. Each rule is considered independently of the others, leading to reasoning and decisions that are often erroneous❌. Sometimes even harmful to the actor making the decision.
✅ RESPECT FOR Data retention DURATIONS: To comply with GDPR, the CNIL (National Commission for Information Technology and Civil Liberties) has defined durations that must not be exceeded in terms of personal Data retention . In other words, legally speaking, personal data cannot, under any circumstances, be retained for an unlimited period.
However, there is a difference between B2B and B2C commercial prospecting. Since prior consent is not required for B2B prospecting, there are no limits on Data retention . On the other hand, for B2C prospecting, the period defined by the CNIL (National Commission for Information Technology and Civil Liberties) is 3 years from the last contact.
✅ CONSENT: Unlike B2C prospecting, in B2B prospecting the conditions and rules are less onerous. In fact, the only requirement for BtoB prospecting is that you address companies that are likely to be interested in your product or service. For example, if you sell refrigerators, you must contact companies that are interested in refrigerators. If you don't, you're no longer compliant, and your reputation will suffer as a result.
However, in BtoC, consent must be explicitly requested prior to prospecting. Otherwise, you're likely to receive complaints from some of the people you contact. In this case, you risk a fine of up to 20 million euros or 4% of your turnover.
✅ O PT OUT RESPECT: Although consent is not mandatory in B2B prospecting, you should never forget to allow your prospects to unsubscribe.
Individuals must be given the opportunity to object to commercial prospecting at any time, without having to seek or justify their choice. Given that this is part of the rules laid down by the GDPR, the data controller will be obliged to respect this choice and no longer send emails to this person.
✅ Information for data subjects: Legally speaking, and in accordance with the rules laid down by the GDPR, data subjects have the right to know how their data is processed for commercial prospecting purposes.
Among the information that must be provided are the identity of the data controller, the categories of personal data processed, the duration of Data retention, the purposes for which the data is processed, and so on.
As a result, to prospect effectively while complying with the rules laid down by the GDPR, every company is obliged to inform data subjects of the data sources used to retrieve their personal datae.g: surname, first name, telephone number, etc).
Emailing is a marketing technique generally used to generate new leads to promote a product or service. However, building up a list of qualified, targeted e-mail addresses is often costly and time-consuming.
But how can you retrieve e-mails from the web so that you can enrich your prospect base quickly and cost-effectively? Here are two of the best tools you can use: Dropcontact and Kaspr.

Co-founder of Plezi | Digital Marketing Software
"We've been working at Plezi for 2 years with Dipeeo. We had two objectives, to become GDPR compliant and to ensure that our software enabled our clients to be compliant themselves.
The Dipeeo teams were very responsive and supported us perfectly in this process.
🔥 Regardless of the main activity of your digital tool, in order for it to be GDPR it must meet certain criteria laid down by law. Indeed, to be GDPR, a digital tool must have what the CNIL (National Commission for Information Technology and Civil Liberties) calls a Data Processing Agreement-DPA. This is a data processing agreement between the data controller and the personal data processor . A DPA must include :
In addition to the DPA, if the digital tool is located outside the European Union, the organization must have Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC).
GDPR compliance for your digital tool
For your digital tool (or that of your processor) to be GDPR, it must take into account certain rules laid down by the GDPR :
and
Setting up a database requires organization and precision, while taking into account security and respect for the privacy of the people concerned.
At Dipeeo, everything is studied so that it meets the requirements and rules laid down by the GDPR. In fact, everything is compliant from the tools we use to enrich our databases, through the various consent andOpt out rules, right up to compliance with Data retention periods.
First of all, our sales people start by defining the objectives behind the recovery of e-mail addresses. In other words, they determine the types of data to be collected and how they should proceed.
Then, after defining the target according to the campaign they intend to launch, our sales staff move on to collecting the e-mail addresses of prospects who should be interested in our offer. As Dipeeo operates on a B2B basis, it is not necessary to obtain the prior consent of the persons concerned.
The important thing is to target people who will be interested in our compliance service. To do this, there are various compliant tools available, such as Dropcontact, for example, which can be used to collect contact information from prospects.
However, although the request for consent is not compulsory, the CNIL (National Commission for Information Technology and Civil Liberties) requires that e-mails sent contain an unsubscribe button that will allow recipients to stop receiving e-mails from us.
After all this, our sales staff take into consideration the Data retention periods for the personal data they collect, so as not to exceed those stipulated by the CNIL (National Commission for Information Technology and Civil Liberties)).
The CNIL (National Commission for Information Technology and Civil Liberties) ) is the regulator of personal data. It is the public authority empowered to define laws and regulations to guarantee the protection of personal data.
On the subject of B2B commercial prospecting, it has issued a number of recommendations to ensure the protection of personal data.
In principle, whether in B2B or B2C prospecting, to be compliant, certain rules must be taken into consideration, particularly with regard to the collection of email addresses and the consent of the people concerned.
Any user who identifies a non-compliant practice may lodge a complaint with the CNIL (National Commission for Information Technology and Civil Liberties).
In general, complaints lead to checks by the CNIL (National Commission for Information Technology and Civil Liberties), and in some cases, sanctions may be imposed.
Indeed, the CNIL (National Commission for Information Technology and Civil Liberties) could fine you GDPR up to millions of euros.
It could also depend on the size of your company, so that you pay a fine of 4% of your annual sales.
Worse still, sanctions can be made public! The impact on your image can be very significant. Several start-ups, such as Nestor, have been hard hit.
So you need to be vigilant about your business practices.
