Vulnerability Disclosure Policy: https://caravelahq.com/b/policy/20949

I. Background
----------------
RocketReach is selling access to millions of European Data Subjects 
without recognising it is a Data Controller, without a representative
in the EU (ART.27) and with a questionable legal basis for processing.

II. Impact
----------------------------
Companies around the World can Process and sell Information about 
European data subjects without that the DPA sanctions them for doing
so by simply not designating a EU Representative accourding to Art.27 of 
the GDPR.

Note: That representative would be held accountable, without it the CNPD 
(LUX DPA) argues that their is no way for them to proceed.

III. Advisory
----------------------------
If your data is also included in Rocketreach (just search on their 
website), then file a complain with your local DPA (it's usually very 
easy and fast) .

V. Timeline
----------------------------

5th of April  2019 - Issued a DSAR to RocketReach
5th of April  2019 - Rocketreach responds by deleteing my data
5th of April  2019 - File a complain via my national DPA (CNPD)
6th of March  2020 - The CNPD agrees with my position but claims to not 
be able to pursue further.
