TBH, LinkedIn probably won't be our biggest fan but there still remains a big gap between sales nav and CRMs that we're trying to fill. Our users need to make sure they use our tool responsibly. It's doing what they can already do manually and making it easier for them.
We think we should be outside the bounds of GDPR as we don't do business in the EU, though as more and more jurisdictions setup similar legislation it's something we will need to keep in mind and probably need to have a good think about as we move forward.
A simple fix may be to ask our users to acknowledge that they have permission to gather this data in certain cases or something of that nature?
With LinkedIn data itself, public profiles are considered in the public domain though I'm not sure of the legal nuances of that and how that works with GDPR or how it may impact us in future.
Being super fresh, we don't have a way for you to count yourself out.
I'm wondering though, how do you presently deal with your data that has already been, or may be, collected by the myriad existing lead and data aggregation services?
