FAQs

How frequently is visitor data updated?

Visitor data is updated within your Distilled account every 24hrs, delivered at 9am each day.

Is Lead Data Stream GDPR and CCPA compliant?

We currently do not collect or store any data from individuals in the EU, only those in the USA, ensuring our tool is GDPR compliant. In order to meet CCPA standards, we ask that our customers add a link to the Untitled CCPA form within their Privacy Policy. If a California Resident requests to have their information removed, Untitled will delete all records of the user from our data sets in order to meet the CCPA standards. Additionally, for California Residents who may have already opted out of advertising on your web property, we ask that our client send us these records before accessing the feature so we can remove these individuals from showing up in your data sets.
