Frequently asked questions
Is this a valid CSV file?
Every row is complete and parses cleanly in Excel, Sheets, and pandas.
Is the data real?
No. Every name, email address, phone number and company in the file is generated placeholder content. Nothing here relates to a real person, so it is safe to commit to a repository or share with a team.
Can I use it in a commercial project?
Yes. The files are free to use however you like, including in commercial and closed-source work. No attribution required.
Do I need to sign up?
No account, no email, no limit on downloads.
