Experian is an original source compiler, meaning we collect data directly from more than 3,500 original public and proprietary sources, including:

• White pages
• Census data
• Public records, both state and local
• Product registrations and surveys (self-reported)
• Property/realty records such as property deeds
• Mail-order transactions
• Other proprietary sources

The data offered on Experian Small Business is tested and validated. It then is cleansed and combined using Experian's proprietary logic to create the most accurate and comprehensive repository of consumer marketing information available. This process sets us apart from other data suppliers who typically rely on secondary data sources. Since we acquire data directly from the original source, we have in-depth knowledge of the data. We understand the fine distinctions within each data element. The end result is that you receive the most definitive marketing information in the industry and a more complete picture of your customers and prospects.

Mailing Use: The United States Postal Service® has made changes to their requirements on the National Change of Address® (NCOA) Move Updates that are applied to mail files. Effective November 23, 2008, NCOA Move Updates must be applied to a mail file within 95 days of the mail date. For example, the earliest NCOA process date for a mailing that would drop on November 23, 2008 is August 28, 2008. Given the USPS® regulations, we strongly encourage you to re-order your mailing lists after 60 days. Experian processes NCOA on monthly basis for its list rental databases, the NCOA certification form is included with your Data Select order file.

Telemarketing Use: Telemarketing lists purchased from Experian are valid for multiple use within a 12-month period. However, please keep in mind that we update our databases monthly. With all the changes that can occur with consumers and businesses (such as moving, telephone number disconnects and connects, changes in income, homeownership, marriage, etc.), we strongly suggest that you reorder your telemarketing list after 60 days. You will notice the benefits in connectivity and response by using the freshest data possible.

The best way to increase your quantity is to modify your search to expand your query criteria. For example, if you have selected estimated household income $25,000 - $34,999, try expanding the range by selecting an additional checkbox such as $35,000 - $49,999.

Note: Lead counts over 100,000 cannot be purchased online. Large volume lists can be purchased by calling 1 888 808 8242.

When you place your order, you can select the desired number of records you want on your list by clicking Buy a portion of this list. The system will randomly select the number of records you request from the total number of records available.

You also can modify your search to narrow your query criteria. For example, if you have selected a Zip Code based radius, try decreasing the number of miles from the center of the zip code.

Note: Lead counts under 100 cannot be purchased online.

The privacy of consumers is important to Experian. That's why we take extra care with data elements we consider sensitive. Experian conforms to the definition of sensitive data from the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) which describes sensitive marketing data as information pertaining to children, health care or treatment, or the financial accounts of individuals. Experian also includes religion, ethnicity and exact age to our list of sensitive criteria. An excellent resource for in depth sensitive data information can be found here.

Our goal is to partner with you to ensure that consumers continue to benefit from our sharing of data for marketing purposes. When you place an order that contains sensitive data elements, your order will be placed on hold for compliance review. Please email your mail piece and/or telemarketing script to marketingofferreview@experian.com. In your email, please include your name, account email address you use to sign in and order number. Our compliance team will review your marketing offer and, upon approval, will release your order for processing.

To learn more about Experian's marketing offer review policies, please see our Marketing Review FAQs.

When you place an order that contains sensitive data elements, your order will be placed on hold for compliance review. Experian needs to approve the actual mail piece or phone sales script to be used with this list. Delivery of your list will be held until your item(s) are approved. Please email, fax or mail your marketing piece or telemarketing script to the Experian compliance department.

• Email (preferred method) — marketingofferreview@experian.com
• Fax — (402) 473-9726
• Postal — Experian, Attn. Compliance, 949 West Bond St., Lincoln, NE 68521

Upon approval, we will release the order. You will be notified by email, and can proceed with downloading the list. If denied, you will be notified by email with the reason(s) your pieces were rejected. You have the option of resubmitting a revised piece for further review, or cancel your order.

Please be assured that any information you provide to us for these purposes will be held in the strictest confidence and will be available only to those employees responsible for approving marketing offers or performing audits of our policies and procedures.

In evaluating your marketing offer, we will use the Direct Marketing Association Guidelines for Ethical Business Practices as our standard. For example, the DMA guidelines indicate that marketers should not display personal data in an offer so as to presume specific knowledge about a consumer (i.e., "Because you have a new baby..."). In addition, we make sure telemarketing scripts adhere to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). If you want more information on either of these, you can visit the DMA Web site at www.the-dma.org or the Federal Trade Commission Web site at www.ftc.gov.

The following elements are deemed sensitive:

• Number of children
• Age of Children
• Presence of Children 0 - 18
• Ethnicity
• Adult Age (only the selection of ages 65 & older is considered sensitive marketing data)
