Orbitly

Orbitly is a data enrichment service designed to help businesses enhance their contact lists for marketing and sales purposes. The platform allows users to upload incomplete contact information, such as a name, email, or social media profile, and in return, it provides missing data points like phone numbers, additional social profiles (including LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook), and professional details like company name and job title. Primarily serving businesses from startups to larger enterprises, Orbitly's main use case is to supercharge sales pipelines by providing more avenues for engagement with potential customers. The exposure of personal contact and professional information on a platform like this creates privacy risks, as it centralizes data that could be exploited for targeted phishing campaigns, spam, and potentially unwanted contact. This compiled data, if accessed by malicious actors, could be used to craft convincing scams or for professional impersonation. To mitigate such risks, individuals should be cautious about the information they share publicly on professional networking sites and can request to have their data removed from Orbitly's database through their privacy center.
