5. Data Security

6. Anti-Scraping & Contact Data Protection

We take the protection of healthcare provider contact information seriously. To prevent unauthorized bulk harvesting, data scraping, and misuse of practice and provider contact details, we employ a multi-layered security system:

Our Security Layers

  • 1

    Contact Data Stripping

    Phone numbers and email addresses are never included in bulk API responses or directory listings. Automated tools that attempt to scrape our directory will not find any contact information in the data they collect.

  • 2

    Contact Masking

    On individual practice pages, contact details are displayed in a masked format (e.g., (***) ***-7250, j***@c***.com) until a legitimate user explicitly requests to view them. This prevents casual scraping of individual pages.

  • 3

    Proof-of-Work Challenge

    Before contact information can be revealed, the user's browser must complete a cryptographic proof-of-work challenge. This requires meaningful computational effort, making it economically impractical for bots to mass-request contact details across thousands of practices.

  • 4

    Google reCAPTCHA v3 Bot Detection

    Every contact reveal request is verified by Google reCAPTCHA v3, which invisibly analyzes browsing behavior to detect automated bots, headless browsers, and suspicious activity without interrupting legitimate users.

  • 5

    Cryptographic Token Verification

    Each contact reveal uses a signed, single-use token with a short expiration window. Tokens cannot be reused, forged, or shared, ensuring that every request is fresh and authenticated.

These measures work together to ensure that contact information is only accessible to genuine users who are actively looking for a healthcare provider, while remaining completely inaccessible to automated scraping tools, data brokers, and spam operators.

Unauthorized scraping, crawling, or systematic collection of data from DPC 411 is strictly prohibited and may result in permanent access restrictions and legal action.

7. Cookies

  • Correct inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Opt-out of marketing communications
