How Diggr shows people

What Diggr is

Diggr is a market-intelligence service for the telecom and media industry. It describes companies - network operators, media companies, and the suppliers who sell to them - and, where it matters to understanding a company, the people who hold named public roles in it: the chief executive, the technology lead, the head of procurement. It is sold to businesses, for use at work.

What we show

A person appears in Diggr only when a published page that names them says they hold that role. In practice that means one of four things:

• the company's own website - its leadership, management or team page
• an announcement or press release issued by the company itself
• a regulatory or corporate filing
• a conference or event programme that bills them as a speaker

For each person we show their name, their job title, the company they work for, and the source we took it from, with a link. Where the employer publishes a photograph of that person on its own page, we may show that photograph, credited to the same source.

Every fact carries its source. If we cannot say where something came from, we do not publish it.

What we never show

• We do not read personal profiles. Not LinkedIn, and not any other professional or social network, in any country. What you write about yourself on a network you control is not a source for us.
• We do not buy people-directories. Bought contact lists and profile-enrichment services are not sources for us.
• We do not show personal contact details - no personal email address, no mobile number, no home address.
• We do not take a photograph from your own profile. It comes from your employer's published page, or we show none.
• Nothing about your private life, and nothing about anyone's health, beliefs or politics.
• We do not guess. We never infer a role from a company's size or a name pattern. Where we do not know, we say nothing.

Why we work this way

Companies publish their leadership pages so that the people who do business with them know who runs the company and who to approach. Showing that, with the source attached, is what Diggr is for, and it is the basis we rely on.

Two limits follow from it, and they are the ones that matter. We never collect from anywhere you have settings controlling who sees what - so there is no choice of yours for us to override. And when a company takes a page down, we treat that as a question rather than a conclusion: we do not decide someone has left a job because a website was redesigned.

If this is about you

Write to us from your own email address at contact@getdiggr.com - with CORRECT in the subject if something we show about you is wrong, or REMOVE to be taken out altogether. Tell us your name and the company you work for, so we can find the right person. There is also a short form at getdiggr.com/remove, and it records nothing at all until you press a link we send to the address you give.

Whichever route you take, the check is the same: the request has to come from your own mailbox. A form anyone can fill in is a form anyone can fill in about somebody else, and we would rather protect the people in Diggr from that than save you a step.

If you ask to be removed, we delete your record, everything we had gathered about you, and any stored photograph. We also keep a permanent note of your request, so that later research does not put you back - that is what makes a removal a removal rather than a pause.

We aim to complete a removal within ten working days, and never later than one month.

Questions

Everything reaches us at the same address - a question about what we hold, a correction, or a removal: contact@getdiggr.com. There is more detail at getdiggr.com/remove. You do not have to ask to be removed in order to ask a question.
