Acceptable Use Policy

Last updated: June 12, 2026

All business contact data surfaced by FirstMark Data originates from public public domain registration records. Domain registrants are explicitly presented with the choice to make their contact information public or private at the time of registration through their domain registrar. FirstMark Data only processes contact information from registrants who chose public disclosure. Privacy-protected registrations - where registrants opted for domain registration privacy protection services - are filtered at the data ingestion stage and never surface on the platform. By choosing public domain registration, registrants made an informed, active decision to publish their contact information on a globally accessible public database administered by ICANN.
