Data sources
Fareof ingests data from public professional profiles, company websites, SEC filings, patent databases, conference proceedings, and user-submitted contact information. We do not purchase or resell third-party databases. Every row in our system is traceable to a public source and every email is verified through SMTP before being surfaced to a paying customer.
Public professional profiles
LinkedIn, GitHub, Stack Overflow, Google Scholar, Crunchbase, and other publicly accessible professional networks.
Company & government records
SEC EDGAR filings, Companies House (UK), EU business registries, patent offices, and official government directories.
Conference & event data
Speaker rosters, attendee lists, and sponsor directories from major industry conferences and trade shows.
User-contributed data
Contact information submitted by Fareof users during their own prospecting workflows, cross-referenced and verified before reuse.
Enrichment & data quality
Firmographic enrichment
Every profile is enriched with 50+ firmographic fields: company name, size, industry, revenue range, funding stage, tech stack, HQ location, and more. Company data is refreshed from public sources on a rolling 30-day schedule.
Live email verification
Every email surfaced to a paying customer passes through three live checks: syntax validation, MX record lookup, and SMTP handshake. Our catch-all detector identifies domains that accept all mail but do not actually deliver. If we cannot verify an email today, we do not reveal it.
90-day re-verification
Emails in our directory older than 90 days are silently re-verified before being returned in any search, API call, or export. This ensures your bounce rate stays under 2% even on lists we have maintained for years.
What we do not do
No purchased databases
We do not buy, license, or resell third-party contact databases. Every profile in our system is ingested from public sources.
No personal email scraping
We do not scrape consumer email addresses from social media, forums, or personal websites. Only professional B2B contacts.
No stale data
We do not cache emails for years and resell them. Every email is verified live at the moment it is requested by a customer.
No data resale
We never resell your uploaded lists, search queries, or enrichment targets to other customers or third parties.
