Scraping and the CNIL
Thanks to these different tools, the collection of emails is greatly facilitated and saves considerable time. The choice of software will be made on the criteria of the number of emails to be recovered or on related functionalities such as verification or automation.
Be careful, however, to respect the rules of the CNIL when you collect emails:
- The prospect must give his consent,
- The solicitation must be related to the activity of the person canvassed,
- Without consent, it is possible to send an email to a generic address (example contact@entreprise.com).
