# Restrict to Companies-Only Data

If your compliance or privacy policies require no PII exiting HubSpot, you can configure HubSpot and Primer to view **Companies only**. Primer will then use company-level data (like website domain, industry, and location) and enrich it with our own contact graph to power audiences — without pulling in HubSpot contacts.

***

#### Why Companies-Only Sync?

* **Compliance:** No HubSpot contact PII leaves your system.
* **Control:** You decide if Primer sees contacts or just company accounts.
* **Coverage:** Primer can still build audiences from companies by resolving contacts via our data graph.

{% hint style="info" %}
HubSpot does **not** currently allow full restriction of contact visibility for users—there is no "None" option for contacts, and users will always see their own contacts. In addition, currently, HubSpot **does not support fully hiding a property from certain users**. While you can restrict users' ability to **edit** certain properties via field-level permissions, all users who have access to the record will be able to **view** the properties
{% endhint %}

#### Step 1. Create a Dedicated Integration User in HubSpot

1. In HubSpot, go to **Settings → Users & Teams → Create user**.
2. Put in your email+primerintegration (e.g. <keith+primerintegration@primer.com>)
3. Assign permissions:

   * **Contacts:** View = Contacts they own. Make sure "Unassigned" remains unchecked.<br>

   * **All Other Objects:** View = All&#x20;

   * **Marketing:** On for Lists and Forms

   * Account Settings Access: On for App Marketplace installations

   <figure><img src="/files/S1btqaCxZU9dhdMWFERN" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

   *

**This ensures the user can connect to Primer but cannont access or export Contacts at all as they will not have any Contacts assigned to them.**

***

#### Step 2. Connect HubSpot to Primer Using This User

1. In Primer, go to **Connections → Add HubSpot**.
2. Choose **Log in with HubSpot (OAuth)**.
3. Authenticate with your *Primer Integration (Companies Only)* user.
4. Primer will detect that this user has **Company-level permissions only** and complete the connection.

***

#### Step 3. Build Audiences Without HubSpot Contacts

* Primer will ingest your **HubSpot Companies** (with fields like domain, industry, employee count, HQ country).
* Use those company attributes as the foundation for audiences.
* Primer enriches companies with our own contacts database for targeting on ad platforms (LinkedIn, Meta, Google, etc.).
* Suppression or inclusion of existing HubSpot contacts is not available in this mode (since Primer doesn’t see them).
