Who holds your data in Lithuania?
Personal records of Lithuanian residents are compiled by global B2B brokers (like Apollo, ZoomInfo, Lusha) and people-search aggregators. While consumer-facing people-search sites are less common locally due to strict GDPR enforcement, international brokers continue to list and sell contact details of Lithuanian citizens.
Public-record sources brokers scrape
- State Enterprise Centre of Registers (Registrų centras) — corporate and property registers
- Public business directories and professional profiles (LinkedIn, company websites)
- Publicly available contact databases and industry-specific registries
