Cognism provides verified business email addresses where available to help you connect with prospects more effectively.
This article explains how work email addresses are verified and why they may not be available for every contact.
Email Verification
Cognism validates business email addresses using a combination of trusted data sources, proprietary technology, and ongoing verification processes.
These checks help improve confidence that an email address is associated with the correct contact and business.
As organisations change and employees move roles, email addresses are continuously reviewed and updated where new information becomes available.
Why Some Contacts Don't Have Email Addresses
Not every contact record includes a work email address.
This may be because:
- A business email address could not be sourced.
- The email address could not be verified.
- The contact does not have a publicly identifiable business email address.
- Local privacy regulations limit data availability.
If a verified email address is unavailable, other information such as a mobile phone number, direct dial, or LinkedIn profile may still be available.
Email Addresses May Change
Business email addresses can change when contacts move to a new company, change roles, or an organisation updates its email domain.
To maintain data quality, Cognism continuously reviews and refreshes its database to reflect the latest available information.
Reporting Incorrect Data
If you believe a work email address is incorrect or no longer valid,you can flag it on the Chrome Extension. Open contact and use the little flag icon to report the inaccuracy to the data team.
