They are calculated automatically from public data that may be incomplete, outdated or wrong. They are not a credit rating, not creditworthiness information, and not a judgment on a company or on the people who run it. You must not use them as the sole or main basis for decisions on lending, credit limits, contract terms, recruitment or anti-money-laundering (AML/KYC) compliance.
