Data Sources & Removal

Introduction

This page explains, with full transparency, where the company information shown on Solvia-DRP for the United States comes from, and how any company can correct or remove it free of charge.

1. What we publish and what we don't

We publish information about legal entities: company name, type of entity, city, county and state and, when available and verified, website, phone and a generic email.

We never publish information about individuals or sole proprietors, names of registered agents or officers, personal emails, customer reviews, photographs, logos or creative business descriptions. We do not invent data: unverified details are shown empty or as "pending verification", with their source and date.

2. Official sources

U.S. listings come only from official open data published by state governments for public reuse: New York Department of State (data.ny.gov), Colorado Secretary of State (data.colorado.gov), Oregon Secretary of State (data.oregon.gov), Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (data.texas.gov), Connecticut Secretary of the State (data.ct.gov), Delaware Division of Revenue business licenses (data.delaware.gov), Alaska Division of Corporations (corporations database), Pennsylvania Department of State (data.pa.gov), and official business-license or business-tax records published by the District of Columbia (opendata.dc.gov), the City of Chicago (data.cityofchicago.org), the City of Seattle (data.seattle.gov), the City of Los Angeles Office of Finance (data.lacity.org), the City of Detroit Business Certification Register, the City of New Orleans Bureau of Revenue (data.nola.gov) and the City of Kansas City, Missouri (data.kcmo.org). Only LLCs, corporations and other legal entities are imported, never individuals or sole proprietors. Each listing shows its source, registry number and date retrieved. Geographic data comes from the U.S. Census Bureau (public domain).

For states without an open bulk registry, listings also come from two official public sources: the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation register (GLEIF, search.gleif.org, CC0 1.0), which records each legal entity's registering authority and state registration number, and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's EDGAR database (data.sec.gov, public domain), which provides the legal name, business address, phone and industry code of companies that file with the SEC. For these listings the map position is the center of the ZIP code (GeoNames, CC BY 4.0), not the exact address.

3. Website, phone and email

Website, phone and email come from Overture Maps open data (Places theme, CDLA-Permissive-2.0), matched to the official state record only when the name and city match a single place. We keep only websites that work and belong to that company, and only generic emails on the company's own domain.

4. Individuals

We never import individuals. We import only legal entities and also discard any name that looks like a person's name. An individual only appears if they create their own profile.

5. No affiliation

Solviadrp is not affiliated with, sponsored or endorsed by any listed company. We do not scrape Google or other platforms whose terms prohibit it.

6. Corrections and removal

Any company can ask us to correct or remove its listing, free of charge and without giving a reason, by writing to solviadrp@hotmail.com from an email address on the company's domain or with proof that it represents the company. To prevent anyone from removing or taking over another company's listing, we verify every request before acting on it. We act on valid requests promptly, and in obvious cases immediately.

If you created or claimed the listing with your account, you can delete it at any time from your account.

7. Not for FCRA purposes

This information may not be used for credit, employment, insurance, housing or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
