Notice for business contacts

last updated: 18 July 2026

The short version

  • If we emailed you out of the blue, this page explains where we got your work contact details and why. GDPR calls this an Article 14 notice.
  • We only hold professional contact data, from public professional sources. No personal accounts, no special-category data, no profiling.
  • Want out? One click removes you — or reply “REMOVE” to any email. We delete your details and don't write again.
01

Why you're reading this

We sent you a business email without you having contacted us first. When a company obtains someone's contact details from somewhere other than that person, Article 14 of the GDPR requires it to explain what it's doing and where the data came from. That's this page — linked from the email that brought you here.

02

Who is responsible

Stefano Quercio (Spain), trading as Loopcost, is the data controller. For anything on this page — including any of the rights in section 08 — contact info@loopcost.dev.

03

What we hold

Only professional contact data: your name, your role or job title, the company you work for, a work email address, and — where it's publicly listed — a link to your professional profile (for example LinkedIn or GitHub). We may also note which data warehouse your company appears to use, since that's what makes Loopcost relevant to you.

We do not hold personal (non-work) email addresses or phone numbers, any special-category data, and we do not build a profile of you or make any automated decisions about you.

04

Where we got it

We found your company through something it published — an engineering blog post, a conference talk, or a careers page describing the data stack you run. We then took contact details from publicly available professional sources: your company's own website and public professional profiles or directories. We collect only what those sources make public about people in a professional capacity.

We did not buy your details, and we did not get them from a contact-data broker or an enrichment tool. We don't combine them with anything about your personal life.

05

Why we're writing

To introduce Loopcost — a tool that attributes data-warehouse spend to the exact dbt model that caused it and opens the pull request that fixes it — to people at companies likely to run large Snowflake, Databricks, or BigQuery bills. In plain terms: business-to-business outreach about a product we think is relevant to your work. Nothing more.

06

Our legal basis

Our legitimate interest in reaching businesses that may benefit from Loopcost (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). We've weighed that against your interests and kept the intrusion low on purpose: only professional contact data, only from public sources, only about a work-relevant product, and with a one-click way to opt out in every message. You can object at any time (section 08), and we stop.

07

How long we keep it, and who else touches it

We keep your details for up to 12 months from our last contact with you, or until you ask us to stop — whichever comes first. If we end up working together, your data then falls under our privacy policy.

Two processors handle this data on our instructions: our email provider (Spacemail) to send and store the correspondence, and our hosting provider (Vercel Inc.) to serve this page. Both are based in, or transfer data to, the United States; those transfers rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses. We don't sell your data or share it for anyone else's marketing.

08

Your rights, and how to opt out

The quickest route: send a one-line removal request, or reply “REMOVE” to any email from us. We'll delete your contact details and add you to a suppression list so we don't re-add you from a future public source.

You also have the right to ask for a copy of what we hold, to correct or delete it, to restrict or object to how we use it, and to receive it in a portable format (Articles 15–22 GDPR). Email info@loopcost.devand we'll respond within one month.

If you think we've handled your data wrongly, you can complain to the Spanish supervisory authority, the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (aepd.es), or to the authority where you live.
