These Data Co-op Terms (these “Co-op Terms”) govern your Organization's participation in the OrgOrg data co-op (the “Co-op”), an optional feature of the OrgOrg CRM. They are part of, and incorporate by reference, our Terms of Service (the “Terms”) and Privacy Policy. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings given in the Terms. If there is a conflict between these Co-op Terms and the Terms with respect to the Co-op, these Co-op Terms control for the Co-op.
The Co-op is a contributory network that maintains a shared business directory. From corroborated business details that participating Organizations captured, OrgOrg assembles a canonical profile for each company and person — a single record that brings together the business details (such as a work email, job title, and employer) and the employment relationships (who works at which company) that participating Organizations have independently observed about that company or person. In return, a participating Organization may have its own records enriched from that directory. The Co-op is a coupled, “contribute-to-receive” arrangement: an Organization that participates both contributes and consumes, and an Organization that does not participate neither contributes to nor receives from the Co-op.
Participation in the Co-op is off unless and until your Organization affirmatively chooses to participate. The choice is presented when your Organization first uses the CRM and is recorded, including who made it and when. Your Organization may change its choice at any time in CRM settings.
By choosing to participate, you represent that you are authorized to make that choice on behalf of your Organization.
Only the following is ever contributed to or held in the Co-op:
Subject to these Co-op Terms, and only for so long as your Organization participates, you grant OrgOrg a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use the eligible business contact details and employment relationships described in Section 3 to operate the Co-op — including to corroborate them, remove your Organization's identity from them, assemble them into shared company and person profiles, and make the corroborated profiles available to other participating Organizations as part of the OrgOrg Service.
While your Organization participates, OrgOrg may enrich your contacts and companies with corroborated details and employment information from the Co-op's shared profiles. Using any business identifier your record already contains (such as a work email, a company domain, or a professional profile link), OrgOrg may fill in additional corroborated details for the matching company or person. Co-op details are provided on an “as is” basis and may be incomplete or inaccurate; they are signals to assist your team, not a warranty of accuracy. Your use of any details, including for outreach, must comply with applicable law and the Terms.
Your Organization may leave the Co-op at any time in CRM settings. When it does, it stops contributing to and receiving from the Co-op, and the details, employment relationships, and identifiers your Organization contributed are withdrawn from the shared profiles. Anything that, after your withdrawal, no longer meets the two-Organization corroboration threshold is removed from the Co-op.
When your Organization leaves, OrgOrg also removes from your Organization's records the details that came from the Co-op. Details your Organization independently captured itself are kept, even if the same detail was also available through the Co-op — you keep what you obtained on your own.
OrgOrg processes the business details and employment relationships in the Co-op consistent with our Privacy Policy, which describes the legal bases for processing, how individuals are informed when their information was not obtained directly from them, and how to exercise privacy rights. Because the Co-op assembles a profile about a company or a person, an individual may request access to, correction of, or deletion and suppression of their profile — the details, the identifiers used to find it, and the employment relationships connected to it — as described in the Privacy Policy and as required by applicable law.
When OrgOrg suppresses a profile on a verified request, it removes the profile's details, its identifiers, and its connected employment relationships, and it prevents that profile from being reassembled from later contributions — suppression persists, so the information does not reappear over time. Deletion and suppression also reach the underlying stored data, including the records of how a detail was captured. Direct identifiers in those capture records are pseudonymized when captured. Because capture records are retained until they are deleted rather than expiring on a fixed schedule, suppression and deletion — not the passage of time — are how this information is removed.
You are responsible for ensuring that your participation in the Co-op, and your use of any details you receive, complies with the Terms, the Privacy Policy, and all laws that apply to you, including data protection, anti-spam, and marketing laws. You will not contribute details you are prohibited from sharing, and you will not use Co-op details for any purpose prohibited by the Terms or by law.
OrgOrg may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Co-op, in whole or in part, at any time. We may update these Co-op Terms as described in the Terms; if we make a material change, we will provide notice as required and your continued participation after the change takes effect constitutes acceptance. We may suspend or terminate your Organization's participation for breach of these Co-op Terms or the Terms.
The Co-op is part of the Service, and the warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability in the Terms apply to it in full. Without limiting those provisions, OrgOrg does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or fitness of any Co-op details for any purpose.
Except as expressly modified by these Co-op Terms, the Terms and Privacy Policy continue to apply in full. Definitions, dispute resolution, governing law, and all other general provisions of the Terms govern these Co-op Terms.
