OpenCorporates carries out its activities, and the subsequent processing of personal data, with the goal of increasing and promoting transparency of the corporate and business world, including the existence, ownership and activities of entities and people connected with them (we call this our “Transparency Purpose”). To further the Transparency Purpose, we collect and republish corporate data from official public sources across the world in one place for the public benefit. We aim to be an accurate reflection of these official public sources and therefore do not remove companies or data that can be located in the public record.
When requests are made to OpenCorporates to have information removed, we will carry out an assessment on a case-by-case basis and notify the requester of the outcome.
Please see our Public Records Privacy Policy for more details.
