20–30% of B2B contacts change roles every year. Neither Clay nor Seamless.AI is designed to continuously monitor your existing CRM for job changes and update records automatically — that's a different tool category.

🇪🇺 GDPR and data compliance

Neither Clay nor Seamless.AI has a particularly strong GDPR documentation posture — both rely on US infrastructure.

For European teams or those with EU customers requiring documented sub-processor chains, the compliance posture of your enrichment vendor matters. Make sure to request a DPA and sub-processor list before committing.
