Licensing OpenSanctions bulk data

We provide a fully auditable, high-quality database for open source intelligence. This includes carefully cleaned and de-duplicated entities that are subject to manual review. The use of this data for any business purposes requires a licensing agreement.

Our pricing model is simple: We offer three license tiers, tailored to different use cases. All licenses cover the complete dataset, updated multiple times daily, and reflect the different contexts in which the data is used.
