Congrats on the launch, will definitely try it out. Curious how good your international coverage is, and what identification rate of visitors is possible with many people still working from home.

@douglas_malcolm Hey Douglas! Pumped to hear your thoughts after you try out the tool. We're very proud of our international coverage - and were excited to have quite a few of our early beta testers be based outside of North America. And great question about WFH. After the unfortunate onset of COVID-19, our talented Data team did a lot of work to help us adapt to the new WFH-era. This resulted in us returning to, and now exceeding, our pre-pandemic ability to match WFH website visitors to their companies. In case you want some specifics, the work we did included: 1) Fine-tuning our algorithms and retraining our machine learning models to teach them about "work from home" behaviors, and making adjustments for geography, as different cities and states announced lockdowns or plans to reopen. 2) Creating new proprietary approaches to matching domains to IP addresses. 3) Allowing our IP intelligence technology to continue to do what it was built to do — automatically learn and improve based on the flood of signals from new IP addresses and identify the employer of visitors who used a VPN when working from home. More info here on our blog: https://clearbit.com/blog/ip-int... Hopefully this helps!

Cool product, but do have some things I feel should be called out. This is not free as you the marketer are exchanging your customers first party data for this service from clearbit. If you review the tos/privacy policy you will see these terms in place. Given the growing concerns around privacy, and positions taken by google, apple and other around notice, choice, consent, and use of cookies and other anonymous identifiers I think Clearbit is not being a good steward here as it's not clear or transparent that it's a value exchange agreement, and not a freebie. Believe I'd rather pay a nominal fee for similar/better service, than give away my most valuable asset, and also breach my customers trust.

@jim_smith3 Thanks for the feedback! That's a very real concern, and we take privacy very seriously. With IP intelligence tools, we won't return personal information (like a person's name, phone number, or email address)...it is simply pulling company info associated with the IP address. Most commercial websites should already have a disclosure in their privacy policy that they use pixel tags to collect IP addresses, which may then be used to analyze web traffic and derive insights. (Note: this does not constitute legal advice)

@jim_smith3 @scottjstrand very neat tool! I was also wondering about privacy - it seems under GDPR IP addresses are in fact considered 'personal info'. Did you test with users in Europe?
Scott Strand
@jim_smith3 @lmurillom Yep, good question! Since the WVR only provides company data based on IP addresses, it doesn't really intersect with GDPR and other privacy regulations that focus on protecting the data of “natural persons" (individuals), not “legal persons" (which companies are sometimes considered). The CCPA states: “[I]f a business collects the IP addresses of visitors to its websites but does not link the IP address to any particular consumer or household, and could not reasonably link the IP address with a particular consumer or household, then the IP address would not be ‘personal information.”

Super cool! I love the Clearbit products and when @justinjtsang and @briantvh are on the job you KNOW it is going to be good. Are there plans in this beta (or in full release) to allow agency marketers like myself to use this on behalf of customers? I can see installing this and making it part of our product offer for customers. Thanks!!!
