Where the results come from — and what we never index.

LeadGrid is a search interface on top of Google Maps’ public business listings. When you type a query like “dentists in Texas” or “Klempner München,” we run that query against Google Maps via a third-party scraping service (Apify), apply a strict personal-data filter, and return the business-level fields: name, address, phone, website, category, rating, and the business email when one is published on the business’s own site.

What we always strip out

Before any result reaches you, every row is run through a filter that removes:

• Owner names, owner-personal phone numbers, owner-personal emails
• Contact emails on personal-provider domains (Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, Outlook, iCloud, AOL, Proton, GMX, web.de, t-online.de, Yandex, and ~20 others). If a business publishes “owner@gmail.com” as their contact, we drop the email — you get the rest of the row (phone, address, website), just not that email.
• Any field that originates from a personal social profile

What we never index

• LinkedIn profiles or company pages
• Personal Instagram / TikTok / Facebook profiles
• Reddit threads, news article bodies, or any copyrighted content
• Anything behind a login wall — we only access logged-out public Google Maps listings
• EU-resident personal data scraped from social platforms

Legal posture

LeadGrid operates as a search interface, not a data broker. Results are fetched on-demand against your query and cached for 30 days (or 7 days if zero results). We honor right-to-erasure requests for any specific business listing within 48 hours — email hello@leadgrid.eu with the listing and we’ll suppress it permanently.

By using LeadGrid you confirm you have a lawful basis for any outreach you do with the contact data — typically GDPR Art. 6(1)(f) legitimate interest for B2B prospecting in the EU. We provide the interface; you remain responsible for the lawfulness of your own outreach.

Freshness + cache

Each cached result row carries a last updatedtimestamp visible on the results page. Cache TTL is 30 days for non-empty queries (7 days for empty queries, so we don’t re-burn API credit on vanity searches that have no business presence).
