Great point. Our DB actually does include quite a few of these “hidden” gmails that some VIPs use - we’re getting better at that - but FWIW the vast majority of VIPs aren’t using those.

Re your harvesting comment, we don’t even keep a temporary copy of the CSV you upload, for privacy reasons - it’s all handled on the frontend. Clearly, customer trust is paramount for a business like ours :)
