Level of difficulty

Requirements

User registration is required for accessing certain features (see cost section).

Limitations

  • Interactive graph starts with first-degree relations (company ↔︎ persons/companies). You can click nodes to reveal second-degree links, but bulk export/API still returns first-degree only.

  • Our own tests showed that some financial data or indicators are limited under a free account, are inconsistently updated or unavailable.

Ethical Considerations

  • Individuals with common names or aliases can be misidentified without using additional information about the target, leading to false allegations.

  • Data contains sensitive information such as addresses or contact information.

  • It can reveal personal relationships that aren’t widely known. (For example, birthdays, passport information, addresses, etc., depending on the company-related documents retained by governmental bodies.)
