NCDV Contact Data Verifier checks, corrects and enriches personal and company data using a service developed by /data.mill.
The correct data and responsible handling of data will make your company stand out from the competition.
Clean, accurate and complete data are an important basis for compliance with the DSGVO.
Note
No personal data from the requests are stored at /data.mill.
All data transmitted to /data.mill are processed on the systems only for the duration of the request (usually less than one second) and then deleted.
Also, no personal data is stored in any log information.
The /data.mill service is a contract processor in terms of the Data Protection Basic Regulation (DSGVO).
Even if personal data are only on the /data.mill systems for fractions of a second (e.g. mail addresses or telephone numbers), they are still legally processed.
On request, we will be happy to send you an agreement for order processing according to Art. 28 DSGVO.
Navigation
Fields, actions, pages and reports originating from the NCDV Contact Data Verifier extension are identified by the abbreviation NCDV. This additional labeling makes them clearly distinguishable from other extensions (which may use similar names and designations).
NCDV stands for NAVAX Consulting Data Verifier.
The search term "ncdv" is also recognized by "Tell me what you want to do".
This allows very fast access to the individual areas of the NCDV Contact Data Verifier.

The NCDV Contact Data Verifier is charged by usage. Each function has its corresponding price in credits.
For example, checking a postal address costs 27 credits, while checking a mail address costs 15 credits.
In order to use the functions, sufficient credits must be available.
If the credit price of a function is higher than the available credits, the function cannot be executed.
Credits are deducted from your credit balance after the function has been executed.
The still available /data.mill credits are displayed in the Contact Data Verifier Setup.
Note
After purchasing additional credits, the display is not updated until the page is opened again.
Credits can be purchased through the /data.mill Shop.
The smallest unit is 50,000 credits, which cost EUR 75.00 (+VAT).
That means the above mentioned address check (27 credits) costs EUR 0.0405, the mail address check EUR 0.0225.
Credits have no expiry date.
You will automatically receive reminder e-mails from the system regarding the expiring credits.
In the shop you can either pay on account or via PayPal with credit card or other payment methods offered by PayPal.
When paying via PayPal, the purchased credits are immediately credited to the customer's account. When paying on account, the credits are only credited after receipt of your payment, which can take a few days.
Note
If you consume more than 1.000.000 /data.mill Credits per year, a subsequent charging of the credits is also possible.
