Rules & Acceptable Use

GlobalDeal is a free company database that anyone can use and many people help keep up to date. These rules keep it accurate, fair and safe. Breaking them can lead to removed content, tighter limits or a suspended account.

Using the data

For your own business use

Search, save and export company data for your own work — research, sourcing, sales or finding partners.

No resale or redistribution

Do not sell the data, redistribute it in bulk, or use it to build a competing database or service.

No scraping

Do not crawl, scrape or bulk-download the site with bots or scripts, and do not try to get around export, search or rate limits. Use the search, projects and export features instead.

Contact businesses lawfully

If you use the data to reach out to companies, follow the anti-spam and data protection laws that apply to you.

Adding companies & suggesting edits

Real businesses, accurate facts

Only add real businesses. Every detail must be correct and checkable on the company's website or other public sources.

No personal data

Do not submit personal details about private individuals — no private phone numbers, personal email addresses or home addresses.

Logos

Upload only the company's own logo. Uploaded logos are reviewed before they appear.

How contributions are reviewed

AI checks each contribution against the company website. Clear matches are published right away, doubtful ones go to a person, and junk is rejected. We may edit, revert or reject any contribution, and we keep a record of who submitted what.

Accounts

Free for everyone

Sign up with any email and password, or with Google. You must be 18 or older. Keep your login details to yourself.

Be yourself

Do not impersonate another person or company, and do not create extra accounts to get around limits or a suspension.

Fair use limits

Exports, AI web searches (10 per month) and new submissions have limits so the service stays free for everyone. Rate limits apply to forms and the API.

Prohibited activities

Fraud & deception

Do not use GlobalDeal for fraud, scams, phishing or any other deception, and do not submit false or misleading company information.

Security violations

Do not try to access other users' accounts, bypass security measures or interfere with the site's infrastructure or performance. Report vulnerabilities as described on our Security page.

Illegal content

Do not submit content that is illegal, defamatory or infringes someone else's rights, and do not use GlobalDeal in breach of sanctions or export control laws.

Automated abuse

Do not use bots, scripts or automated tools to submit contributions, create accounts or extract data.

Reporting problems

Enforcement & appeals

Graduated response

Immediate action

Fraud, scraping, security attacks and illegal content can lead to immediate suspension without prior warning.
