"Lookup" emphasises the question (who is behind this address); "enrichment" emphasises the result (a record that now has forty more fields). Reverse Contact exposes both through the Person Enrichment API.\u003C\u002Fp>",{"question":21,"answer":22},"Can it find someone from a personal email?","\u003Cp>Sometimes, outside Europe. For European individuals the public link between a personal address and a professional profile is rare, and Reverse Contact does not infer it, so most such lookups return null. Work emails resolve at around 70% regardless of region.\u003C\u002Fp>",{"question":24,"answer":25},"Is the data fresh?","\u003Cp>Every response carries a last-updated timestamp.

The consumer people-finder model, built on personal records, is a different matter and is largely incompatible with GDPR.\u003C\u002Fp>",["Island",30],{"key":31,"result":32},"BlogArticleBody_oqUDq0dKda9eATbaCNKhPhVVB9oudxIXrB9LzdZ0",{"head":33},{},1792763398012]
