Ask HN: Are services like Clearbit legal (in Germany)?

4 pointsby hirowalmost 9 years ago
I live in Germany where we have very strict rules in regards to saving personal data etc.<p>I read a lot about services like BuiltWith, Clearbit, Rapportive and similiar.<p>Clearbit obviously harvests data from multiple sources. Who gave them permission to? What if someone doesn&#x27;t want to be in that list?<p>To Germans (with some law background maybe): Theoretically...could it have been founded in Germany?
