This page is the categorized summary of sources that contribute to Neuroscale’s Sourcing Database (the aggregated database of professional-profile information about Candidates that Neuroscale curates on its own behalf as controller — see Privacy Notice §2.5 and the Art. 14 Indirect Collection Notice). We publish the summary at the category level rather than naming each individual source. Individual sources may be competitively sensitive or subject to NDA with the source platform. The category set is refreshed within 30 days of any material change to the Sourcing Database’s upstream pipeline. To request specific source information for a record relating to you, contact privacy@neuroscale.ai.

​
Source categories

​
A. Public professional profiles

Public profile information published by Candidates themselves on professional-network platforms that permit such use. Neuroscale honors robots.txt and ai.txt directives and observes the source platform’s terms of service. See the Sourcing Data Acquisition Policy for the source-vetting steps.

​
B. Licensed business-information vendors

Third-party vendors with their own privacy programs that license business-contact and professional-profile data under executed DPAs that include a no-training carve-out. Current vendors (as of the effective date):
  • People Data Labs — person-profile enrichment.
  • RocketReach — contact-discovery lookups.
  • Kickbox — email-address deliverability validation.
  • NumVerify (APILayer) — phone-number validation and carrier lookup.
Vendor changes are reflected in the Subprocessor List.

​
C. Publicly available bios, directories, and other public information

Public-domain bios (e.g., on company websites, conference programs, podcasts, GitHub profiles, academic and publication directories). Use is subject to the same source-vetting steps in the Sourcing Data Acquisition Policy.

​
D. Customer-authorized integrations

Where a Customer-employer (or a third-party system Customer connects, such as an applicant tracking system, CRM, calendar integration, or email integration) provides professional-contact information to Neuroscale with the necessary authorization, that data may be ingested into the Sourcing Database. The Customer’s authorization is captured in the executed Data Processing Addendum and the in-product integration consent flow.

​
Sources Neuroscale does not use

  • Sources whose Terms of Service prohibit automated collection.
  • Sources whose access requires circumventing authentication (e.g., accessing the non-public side of a platform via a fabricated account); see hiQ Labs, Inc. v. LinkedIn Corp., 31 F.4th 1180 (9th Cir. 2022), and successor cases.
  • Sources offering data of children under 16 (dropped at Stage 1 ingest regardless).
  • Sources offering judicial / law-enforcement / arrest-record data — see the data-broker registration analysis memo and NJ Daniel’s Law treatment.
  • Sources offering special-category data within the meaning of GDPR Art. 9 (with the limited carve-outs documented in the Sourcing Data Acquisition Policy).

​
Removal

You may direct Neuroscale to remove your information from the Sourcing Database — and to suppress future re-ingestion — through the channels described in the Art. 14 Indirect Collection Notice §10.
