Contact & Location Information¶
Summary¶
Contact and Location Information encompasses all contact details and geographic information related to legal entities, including addresses, contact persons, and location data. This information is essential for communication, regulatory compliance, geographic risk assessment, and understanding entity operational presence. Maintaining accurate contact and location information is critical for effective entity management and regulatory compliance.
The Challenge¶
Organizations face significant challenges in contact and location information management:
- Multiple locations — Entities may have multiple addresses (registered, business, mailing, operational)
- Contact diversity — Entities have multiple types of contacts with different roles and responsibilities
- Data quality — Maintaining accurate and up-to-date contact and location information
- Address changes — Addresses and contacts change over time through relocations and personnel changes
- Geographic context — Understanding addresses in context of jurisdictions, regions, and countries
- Regulatory requirements — Different jurisdictions require different contact and location information
- Privacy regulations — Managing contact data in compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations
