Each Bancomail contact is checked at least once every 12 months and, regularly, in the 24 hours prior to supply. The percentage of monthly review is 15%.

An internal department carries out daily monitoring through software crosschecks to ensure the existence of the adresses (unknown user, not in DSN, etc.) and their functionality (over quota, spamcop, etc.).

Although the commitment to maintaining accurate the database, there is always a percentage of emails that not work: no marketing database is 100% accurate, but this doesn't mean that we want you to pay for non working addresses.

For this reason, for each one of your purchases is already available a special warranty that provides for the refund of the 'invalid' addresses through one of the following options: the chargeback of the spent amount, a coupon of the same amount increased by 30% or corresponding Registry Credits to be used on subsequent purchases through quotes.

Within 60 days from supply you can submit the list of the hard bounces directly from the Warranties section of your Reserved Area.
We commit ourselves to verify your reports within a maximum of 10 days, keeping you constantly updated on the progress of the process.

In addition to regular controls, we verify the email data before each delivery to ensure existence and functionality. This is why, according to database scope and verification test duration, the database set-up, which is carried out by a designated department, can take one to three working days. However, we normally only need 24 hours.

The Policy of Bounce Refund is valid for 60 days from the purchasing date and cover all permanent errors (non-existent or wrong DNS, general failure).

The refund warranty does not cover temporary/partial errors (e.g. over quota, spam filter), attributable to server destination filters (mail blocked, spam) or to the size and content of the message (message size, etc.).

To request a refund, proceed as follows:

Within 10 days Database department will check all reported email addresses and will confirm the amount of unsuitable and refundable data.

The warranty allows you to choose among these compensation options:

You can pay by bank transfer or credit card through the secure circuits Banca Sella and Paypal.
Considering the particularity of the product and its high reproducibility, deferred payment methods are allowed only after an assessment by the Sales Management.

Today, the Bancomail Database contains more than 11,000,000 of records of companies, associations and freelancers.

It doesn't hold data relating to company roles. Given the transitory nature of these contacts and, particularly, the best practices of the Permission Marketing we consider it appropriate to use generic contacts, taking care to direct the message to the appropriate department using the subject field (eg "to the Purchasing Manager" - Sales etc. )

Inside the Database there are 2 cases/types of data:

All data types are collected, processed and transferred in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and national laws.

Whatever the origin and nature of the data is, the regulations set that the "consent" is not transferable: for this reason to use a database of contacts purchased from third parties, it's necessary the feedback and consent for sending further promotional communications.

The request for consent is part of the Permission Marketing that, while remaining in full compliance with the legislation on Data Protection, allows companies wide margins on the choice of content and creativity.

The Regulation (EU) n. 2016/679 (known as GDPR) also introduced the concept of "legitimate interest" of the holder as a legal basis on which to assess the lawfulness of the processing of personal data adding that "it may be considered legitimate interest to process personal data for direct marketing purposes".

The sending of information regarding the processing of personal data (GDPR for Europe and/or National Laws) in which is required the consent for sending promotional material, is the opportunity to:

We advise you to keep the character of your message purely informative, limiting the commercial emphasis.

To learn more, you can read an analysis of the GDPR in relation to cold lists, the B2B email guide, country by country or download the dedicated resources that include free templates and regulatory references to insert your disclosure.

The Bancomail database includes only Italian and foreign companies or professionals who have freely disclosed their contact details (electronic or otherwise) by providing them directly or by publishing them in public directories, internet pages or other IT and non-IT materials.

As confirmed in the General Regulation on Data Protection (GDPR), in specific measures of the Privacy Guarantor and the National Laws, B2B communications between companies, in consideration of the fundamental principles that protect the free circulation of goods and services and in consideration of " legitimate interest ", present a very different scenario compared to the B2C communication addressed to individuals.

The data source is composed by companies which were acquired through proprietary modules and companies which comes from high quality sources that complies with the regulation in force (public directories and authorized third parties).

Bancomail informs periodically the companies about the data processing methods, the specific purposes of their use, the guarantees and the legitimate removal procedures, in accordance with the GDPR and the national regulations concerning the protection of personal data.

Not necessarily, but it's good news.  We strive to collect the majority of companies in an industry in a given area, but data processing routines may reduce those data. 

First thing, we only deal with business records that have an email address.  If this is present, the data undergoes validation and trimming procedures.  Afterwards, in strict compliance with the law, we inform all companies and professionals about the modalities and purposes of the data treatment.  As a result, we retain only store those activities that do not oppose to data processing. 

This means that you may not buy an amount equal to the exact number of companies in that section of the market, but you will buy the segment that you can contact in full compliance with regulations.

Sure, at least six months after purchase, you can request an update.

Updating your database includes the supply of complementary records.
