Where PulseSignal data comes from

PulseSignal is an intelligence service about SaaS companies. We observe publicly available information about the companies on your watchlist across these source categories:

• Company websites and pricing pages: product pages, pricing and packaging, changelogs, and trust or security pages the company publishes itself.
• Public job boards and careers pages: open roles and hiring patterns as the company lists them.
• Public registries and statutory filings: sources such as UK Companies House, SEC EDGAR, and MCA India, plus related public regulatory disclosures.
• Press and news sources: public funding, product-launch, and company announcements.
• Public reviews and social posts: public review platforms and public social posts, read for aggregate sentiment and mentions.
• Public technical footprints: public DNS records, certificate transparency logs, and public developer-community and package-registry activity.

The categorized source list, including which providers we read from and which are contracted processors, is published on the sub-processors page.

Collection is read-only observation of the public web. We rate-limit politely per host, honor robots directives where they apply, and never bypass paywalls or collect anything behind a login. Where a statutory registry publishes a record as part of a legal regime, we reflect that published record; we do not originate it, and if the registry redacts or seals a record, our mirror is removed or redacted on the next ingest.

Traceability is a product feature: every row you see in the dashboard carries the source URL it was derived from, so you can verify both the claim and its recency yourself.

Every signal module runs on a recurring scan cycle for the companies you actively track, so a change on a monitored source is reflected in your dashboard once the next cycle completes and lands in the following digest. Companies newly added to your watchlist start appearing in your signal pages on the next cycle.

How far back you can see is a plan property: signal history spans 6 months on Starter, 12 on Pro, 24 on Business, and is unlimited on Scale. See the pricing page for the full comparison.

• No private data. We only observe what is publicly available. Nothing in the product comes from leaks, breached datasets, or private channels.
• No scraping behind logins. We do not create accounts on other services to extract data, and we do not bypass paywalls or authentication walls.
• No personal-data harvesting. We do not profile private individuals. The only people data in the product is publicly listed executive and director profiles (name and role), drawn from the company’s own team pages and from statutory registries.
• No public republication of person-level details. Person-level leadership details are shown only inside the logged-in dashboard to workspaces that track the company; we do not publish them on the public web.

Where a named officer or executive appears in the product, the record is limited to name and role and traces back to a public source: the company’s own published team page or a statutory registry filing. Anyone can request erasure of their record via the erasure-request form. We hard-delete the matching officer and leadership records and tombstone them so subsequent ingests cannot resurrect the row.

The full legal treatment, including the GDPR legal bases and retention periods per record type, is in the privacy policy.

• Privacy policy: how we handle personal data for both customers and the companies we cover.
• Sub-processors: every provider we engage, its location, and the DPA that covers it.
• Security: encryption, hosting, and vulnerability disclosure.
• Alerts and digests: how the observed changes reach you.
