Data availability varies per region depending on their local registries and legal filing requirements. In some instances, certain fields are specific to the country of origin. If the information is not available for a particular field, then you are not charged for it.
Does Data Cleaning override my current records?
No, we will never override your existing data. Data Cleaning will match our data to your records and provide the desired fields as new additional fields alongside your existing information.
How to you match my database records to Creditsafe’s records?
Creditsafe’s matching algorithms are designed to match on 14 core data elements. These elements include business names, addresses, postal/zip code, registration numbers among others such as telephone numbers.
Whilst Creditsafe determine a match based on 14 core elements, it is important to note that we use a range of different matching routines, allowing us to match to different permutations of data. This means that overall, we are matching on hundreds if not thousands of different values when evaluating a potential match.
