How we balance Allocatin, Inc.’s interests against the rights of professionals whose public information appears in the directory or who receive a claim email.
Interest. Operate a B2B information and matching service for institutional private markets. Firms expect a graph of counterparties compiled from public filings, websites, and news.
Necessity. A claimed-only network would start empty and would not show “matches already waiting.” The compilation is limited to professional / institutional facts, labelled unclaimed until a firm takes control.
Balancing. The in-product directory is shown to verified members, not as an open public catalogue. We do not publish private contact details we scraped from a person who is not already public in a professional context. Named individuals can object, correct, or request erasure via privacy request — including people who never claimed an account. That public form is the intended mechanism to be removed from the dormant directory. Object and delete email a confirmation link, then unlist the person (the firm stays). We keep a suppression record so a later data import does not put the listing back. Firms that want to take control rather than leave can claim the profile. We accept that a public CIO or partner name may remain where it is already widely published and our listing is not more intrusive.
Interest. Tell a firm that a public profile exists so the right team can claim it. Soft wording only — no invented match counts.
Necessity. There is no other practical way to reach the IR / allocations inbox of an unclaimed firm. We start with generic firm aliases (info@, ir@), not personal home addresses.
Balancing and other laws. Every message includes an unsubscribe link to /unsubscribe. Suppression is honored. We do not send to addresses on the suppression list. CASL (Canada) requires express consent for many CEMs — we do not treat this LIA as a substitute for CASL consent where CASL applies; Canadian sends wait for a permitted basis. UK/EU PECR soft-opt-in is limited; we treat first claim email to a generic firm mailbox as a one-time notice with unsubscribe, not an ongoing marketing series, unless consent is later obtained. US CAN-SPAM identification and unsubscribe are mandatory on every commercial message.
This assessment is reviewed when outreach volume, data sources, or regulators’ guidance change. Related: DPIA outline and Privacy Policy.
