Who we are
Residual introduces companies that own business records to AI data buyers. This website is run by Residual (“we”, “us”), a business in formation; we'll name the legal entity here once it's registered. We decide how the information described here is used. Contact us about privacy at hello@joinresidual.com.
What we collect
Only what you type into our forms:
- Your answers to the qualification form: company name and website, country, industry, status, team size, the tools you use and since when, how work is recorded, and anything that could affect a deal.
- Your contact details: your name, work email, role, who can sign, and your phone number and who referred you, if you give them.
- Introductions you send us: your details and the company contact you introduce, with their permission.
- How you found us: the page you arrived on and any campaign tags in the link, kept in your own browser and sent with the form.
We never ask for passwords or access to your systems. Your company's records never pass through this website or through Residual.
How we use it, and why we're allowed to
- To grade your fit and contact you about it. You asked us to, and you ticked the box agreeing to be contacted.
- To introduce your company to a buyer, only if you tell us to. Before we do, we agree in writing with you what is shared and with whom, under a mutual NDA.
- To pay referrers when an introduction leads to a deal.
- To run and protect the website, for example by blocking spam. This is in our legitimate interests.
We don't sell your information or use it for advertising.
Where it's kept and who sees it
- Form answers are kept by Residual in our Google Workspace (a private Google Sheet and our email), seen only by Residual's two founders.
- Cloudflare hosts the website and briefly logs IP addresses and browser details for security.
- Nothing is sent to an AI data buyer without your written permission, and then only the details you approve.
- Professional advisers, or authorities where the law requires it.
International transfers
Our providers may process information in the United States and other countries. Where UK or EU data protection law applies, we rely on appropriate safeguards, including the UK–US Data Bridge, the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses.
How long we keep it
We keep enquiry details for up to 24 months after we were last in touch, then delete them. If you ask us to delete them sooner, we will.
Your rights
You can ask us to show you what we hold about you, correct it, delete it, stop or limit how we use it, or give you a copy. You can withdraw your agreement to be contacted at any time. Email hello@joinresidual.com. If you're unhappy with how we've handled your information, you can complain to your data protection regulator; in the UK that's the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
Cookies and storage
We don't use cookies, analytics or advertising trackers. Your browser keeps your light or dark mode choice, and a referral name and campaign tags if you arrived through a referral link, so they can be added to your form. Our fonts are served from this website, so loading a page doesn't contact any other company.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
