We collect the behavioral data of all website visitors. This includes; pages viewed, visitor source and time spent on the site.
The visitor IP address is collected to detect the company and geographic location. All visit data is aggregated on the company level.

Using Lead Grease and complying with GDPR
If you use Lead Grease and want to comply with GDPR we recommend you do the following:
Here’s why it makes even more sense to use Lead Grease now B2B marketing has always been tough. Traditionally 2% of visitors to B2B websites leave their contact details. GDPR has made it even more difficult for marketers to capture leads. Lead gen forms now need opt-in consent for users to be added to email nurture tracks, dropping the ratio of visitors you convert even lower.
With Lead Grease you can still see who is visiting your website without needing them to complete your forms and opt-in. You can learn about the companies visiting your website, get key contact information and see their activity on your site. Lead Grease instantly makes your lead generation efforts much more efficient for very little extra effort or cost.dg
