Information under Articles 13, 14 and 21 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for business contacts who received an email from us.
Don't want to hear from us? Reply to our email with "unsubscribe" or write to widerspruch@prodigysolutions.at. We stop at once and never contact you again. You can object at any time and don't need to give a reason.

We have not appointed a data protection officer, as we are not required to (Art. 37 GDPR).
2. Why you received our email
We help cleaning companies win new commercial clients. We contacted your company because it offers cleaning services and publishes a business email address on its own website. We send at most three short emails and stop as soon as you reply or object.
3. What data we use
- Your company's name, legal form, address, phone number and website
- The business email address published on your company's website
- Where available: the name of a director or owner, from an official company register or your own website
- The services your website describes (for example office or window cleaning), to keep our email relevant
- As proof of where your address came from: the web page address, the date we found it, a short excerpt of that page and a technical fingerprint of it
We do not use sensitive data (Art. 9 GDPR), do not track opens or clicks, and do not profile you or make automated decisions about you.
4. Where the data comes from
Only from publicly accessible sources:
- Your company's own website
- Public business directories (for example Thomson Local, Yellow Pages Canada, StartLocal)
- Official public company registers (for example Companies House in the UK, the Companies Registration Office in Ireland, US state business registers, the Australian Business Register)
5. Purpose and legal basis
We use the data to offer our lead-generation service to your company (business-to-business direct marketing). The legal basis is our legitimate interest in direct marketing to businesses, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (see recital 47). We have weighed this interest against yours: we only use business data your company has made public, contact businesses only about a service relevant to them, send few emails, use no tracking, and stop immediately when asked. You can ask us for a summary of this assessment.
6. Who receives the data
Only service providers that work on our behalf under data processing agreements (Art. 28 GDPR):
- lempire SAS (lemlist), France: email sending platform
- Salesforge OÜ (Mailforge), Estonia: email mailbox hosting
- Google LLC, USA: spreadsheet storage. The transfer to the USA is based on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and the EU standard contractual clauses (Art. 45 and 46 GDPR).
We never sell or rent your data.
7. How long we keep it
- If you don't reply, we delete your contact data 180 days after our last email.
- We keep a minimal record of where and when we found your address and when we emailed you for up to six years, so that we can prove we followed the anti-spam laws of your country.
- If you object, we keep only your email address and domain on a suppression list, permanently, so that we never contact you again.
8. Your rights
Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR): you can object to direct marketing at any time, without giving reasons. Reply "unsubscribe" or write to widerspruch@prodigysolutions.at.
You also have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing and data portability (Art. 15 to 20 GDPR). We answer within one month.
You can complain to the Austrian Data Protection Authority (Datenschutzbehörde, Barichgasse 40–42, 1030 Vienna, Austria, dsb.gv.at) or to the privacy regulator in your own country.
