CONTACT DATA QUALITY · Workflow idea

Keep professional records current without treating public information as permission to collect everything.

For a lawful, consent-based business purpose, review professional profile information that an organization is permitted to use and compare it with an existing contact record. Follow source terms and applicable privacy rules, avoid collecting personal contact details or unrelated history, record the source and review date, and require a CRM owner to approve each proposed change and retention period.
