I recommend not to use unless approved by company. It might cause compliance issue.

Let me explain,

It can be risky to use online VCF split tools for business contacts.

When you use an online tool, you upload your VCF file to a website. That means your client names, phone numbers, email addresses, and other business details go to an external server, which creates the risk of a data leak. For business data, privacy matters. If your contact list includes customers or confidential leads, sharing it online may not be the safest option. A safer approach is to use an offline tool like Softaken Split vCard Software. It works completely offline on every Windows operating system, so your contact data stays on your system and doesn’t get uploaded anywhere. For business contacts, keeping everything offline is usually the smarter choice.
