Manage My Profile Visibility
dealcode is a GDPR-compliant search engine that helps users find publicly available B2B information from sources such as LinkedIn, company websites, and verified B2B data providers. It does not store or serve data from its own database; it only displays information that is already publicly accessible. dealcode is EU-hosted and never provides personal data to servers outside the EU. For data processing, all data is 100% anonymized. If you’d like to control how your profile appears or can be found on these public sources, follow the steps in the guide below.
How does dealcode find my profile?
dealcode discovers publicly available profiles in the same way that major search engines like Google or Bing do. When you search for your name and company on Google, the process is essentially identical: the search engine crawls publicly accessible pages where your profile information appears. If you prefer not to be found through dealcode, or any other search engine, you can adjust the visibility settings directly in your personal profile on the corresponding platforms. Links to the relevant settings pages are provided below.
