What is a targeted email list?

A targeted email list groups contacts by shared interest, profession, or behaviour rather than geography. Examples: cryptocurrency investors, forex traders, licensed physicians, gamers, realtors. Email on all records. Name and mobile are included where available — coverage varies by dataset and niche.

What compliance applies to internationally distributed lists?

Apply the relevant law per recipient country: CAN-SPAM for US, GDPR for EU, UK GDPR/PECR for UK, and CASL for Canadian contacts. Segment by country before sending.

Common questions

How are targeted lists different from B2B country databases?+

B2B country databases group contacts by geography and include full business fields (company, job title, SIC code, address). Targeted lists group contacts by shared characteristic regardless of geography — a crypto investor list contains contacts from 50+ countries. Field coverage: email on all records, name and mobile where available — coverage varies by niche and source.

What compliance applies to globally distributed targeted lists?+

Apply the relevant law per recipient country: CAN-SPAM for US contacts, GDPR for EU contacts, UK GDPR/PECR for UK contacts, and CASL for Canadian contacts. Segment by country before sending to apply the correct rules per segment.
