Where every fact comes from

How NODE ID chooses its sources, applies each register's rules, keeps data fresh and records what it knows.

Official registers first

Every value comes with its method, and methods are ranked.

Same rank: the most recent value wins, then the most reliable. Conflicting values are kept and shown.

  1. 1Official register

    Read from the register itself.

  2. 2Declared and verified

    Declared by the company, confirmed by digital identity.

  3. 3Third-party provider

    Only where no official source can be read. Labelled.

  4. 4Extracted from documents

    Reviewed by a person when confidence is low.

The rules of each register

Recorded per register, applied before any data is returned.

Access basis

Ownership data only for customers entitled to it.

Licence

No non-commercial source in a paid service.

Attribution

Source credited where the register requires it.

No scraping

Never where automated retrieval is limited or forbidden.

Reuse

Onward sharing respected source by source.

Sanctions

Russia and Belarus are not connected.

Fresh by design

Each data type has a maximum age. Past it, NODE ID goes back to the source.

Verification
Live
Company status
1 day
Officers
7 days
Shareholders and owners
30 days

Maximum ages for onboarding. Changes are detected from the register's stream where it has one, by scheduled checks elsewhere.

An audit trail by design

Every answer can be traced back and replayed.

Two dates

When a fact became true, and when NODE ID learned it.

Replay

A company as NODE ID knew it at any past date.

Evidence

Each register response fingerprinted and kept.

Proof of existence

Fingerprints anchored, so a third party can check them.

Personal data

  • Kept as the register publishes it, no more
  • Declared ownership shared only with consent
  • Staff access limited, with MFA, and logged
  • Hosted in the European Union

What NODE ID does not do
