Dan is the founder of MailVerify and director of Bruce Media Group Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (No. 16061949). He built MailVerify to solve a straightforward problem: UK businesses needed an email verification API that kept data on GB infrastructure and didn't treat GDPR compliance as an afterthought.

Based in Essex, UK, he writes about UK email marketing law, ICO registration, data protection obligations, and the practical side of keeping email lists clean and deliverability high.
