Data provenance and licensing

Every record in Frontage Leads traces to a named, openly licensed source. This page states which sources, under which licences, and precisely what you may do with the data. All of it is independently verifiable.

Last updated: 21 August 2026

Summary

Frontage Leads is built exclusively on datasets whose licences permit commercial use and redistribution. We do not scrape platforms that prohibit it, we do not purchase from brokers whose terms forbid onward transfer, and we do not hold data we lack the right to pass on.

Why this page exists. Most business-data providers cannot tell you where their records came from, and their contracts forbid you from passing anything on. We can, and ours doesn't. If you intend to deliver lists to your own clients, this is the page that proves you may.

Website performance measurements

Where you request a website audit, we measure the site using Google's PageSpeed Insights API and record the resulting scores. These are measurements we take, not data we obtained from anyone.

What we deliberately do not use

SourceWhy it is excluded
Google Maps / Places API Its terms forbid copying and saving business names and addresses, and forbid use in a listings or directory service.
LinkedIn Its user agreement prohibits obtaining member data directly or through brokers. We hold no LinkedIn-derived records.
Apollo, Lusha, ZoomInfo and similar Their terms prohibit customers from redistributing the data, so we could not lawfully pass it to you.
OpenStreetMap The ODbL licence is share-alike: incorporating it would oblige us to publish the combined database openly. We keep our pipeline free of it.

Your rights as a customer

On every plan. You may use exported records inside your own business — research, prospecting, market analysis, and client work you deliver yourself. Anything you exported while subscribed stays yours; we do not require you to delete it if you cancel.

On no plan. You may not resell, licence, publish or otherwise redistribute the records as a dataset or list. This is worth stating precisely, because the licences below would in fact permit it: the restriction is ours, not theirs. The open licences let us build and sell a product on this data; your subscription buys you the use of that product, not the right to become a second source of the data itself. If you need a redistribution licence, write to us — it is a conversation we are willing to have, just not something a $199 subscription includes.

Attribution we ask you to carry

Every CSV export ends with a notice listing only the sources that contributed to that particular file. Keep it attached when passing data on:

Sources and licences for the rows in this file:
  Data © Overture Maps Foundation (overturemaps.org), CDLA-Permissive-2.0.
    Redistribution permitted.
  Data from All The Places (alltheplaces.xyz), released under CC0-1.0.
    No conditions.
Redistribution of these records is permitted under the licences above.

What the data contains — and what it does not

Frontage Leads holds business records: company name, street address, city, country, business telephone, website, category, coordinates, and where published, role-based email addresses such as info@ or sales@.

It does not contain named-individual profiles, job titles, direct dial numbers or personal email addresses. We do not build person-level profiles and we do not acquire them.

A lawful copy is not permission to market. Holding these records legitimately is separate from the rules governing outreach. Anti-spam and data-protection law — GDPR and PECR in Europe, CAN-SPAM in the United States, and equivalents elsewhere — apply to you as the sender, including obligations that can attach to business contact details. Please take your own advice before running a campaign. We would rather say this plainly now than leave you to find out later.

Corrections and removal

If a business believes its record should be corrected or removed, write to hello@frontageleads.com. We will action it in our copy and tell you where the record originated so it can also be corrected upstream.

Changes to sources

Should we add a source, this page is updated before the data appears in the product, and any change to what you may do with the data is stated here explicitly. Sources are recorded per record, so we can always tell you exactly which licence governs which row.
