A Practical Data-Handling Review Quick answer Assess RB2B against the data, permissions and workflow in your implementation. Review collection, access, retention, suppression and destination behavior rather than treating a vendor security statement as proof that every configuration is appropriate. Assess RB2B against the data, permissions and workflow in your implementation. Review collection, access, retention, suppression and destination behavior rather than treating a vendor security statement as proof that every configuration is appropriate. This is a Leadpipe-authored buying guide. Product statements are based on the linked vendor references; evaluation steps are recommendations, not reported test results. ## Data handling and operational controls Start with [RB2B’s current product and policy links](https://www.rb2b.com/pricing). Identify the product tier, identity level, countries, destinations and intended use. Product availability does not establish permission for every collection or outreach activity. ## Review the actual data flow | Stage | Evidence to request | | --- | --- | | Collection | Script behavior, fields collected and page exclusions | | Resolution | Source descriptions and company versus person outputs | | Processing | Relevant terms, DPA, subprocessors and regional scope | | Access | User roles, exports and connected destinations | | Retention | Storage periods, deletion process and downstream propagation | | Activation | Suppression, opt-outs and the intended marketing or sales use | Assign each unanswered question to an owner before activation. Obtain advice appropriate to the applicable jurisdiction and your implementation; this guide is a purchasing checklist, not a legal opinion. ## Avoid misleading shortcuts Company information can still raise data-handling questions. A publicly available business email does not answer every outreach-permission question. Similarly, a named contact returned by a tool does not prove that a particular person made a visit. Document the difference between the vendor’s published position, the contractual commitments and behavior observed in your configuration. Keep those evidence levels separate when approving a workflow. ## Compare like-for-like controls RB2B documents exclusions on its pricing page. Test them using known customers and excluded URLs, and confirm how suppression reaches connected systems. Review Leadpipe using the same process if it is on the shortlist; its EU/UK default is company-level, and person-level requires affirmative consent. For product and plan distinctions, see the [RB2B review](/blog/rb2b-review/). For an operational comparison, use [Leadpipe versus RB2B](/blog/leadpipe-vs-rb2b/). Neither article replaces an implementation-specific privacy assessment. ## Where Leadpipe fits Leadpipe supports both account-level and person-level workflows. Its [IP to Company API](/product/ip-to-company/) retrieves stored company information from an IPv4 or IPv6 address; its separate [Identification product](/product/identification/) supplies eligible visitor records and activity. Choose company context for account research and person-level output when the action requires a specific visitor. A company lookup returns no people or visits. Confirm API eligibility and its separate lookup allowance in the [official documentation](https://docs.leadpipe.com/ip-to-company/introduction). Person-level coverage is strongest in the US. EU/UK traffic defaults to company-level identification; person-level requires affirmative consent. Fields can be missing, so judge required output on your actual traffic. If you need research signals from outside your website, evaluate [Orbit](/product/orbit/) separately and check its audience allowances. The [current pricing page](/pricing/) lists Pro 500 at $147/month for 500 identification credits. The trial is **7 days or 500 profiles, whichever comes first, no card**. Confirm the delivery and data-use requirements of your chosen plan. Use the [vendor evaluation kit](/resources/visitor-identification/) to record the same acceptance criteria for every candidate.
