Verif.com

Verif.com is a French data broker that provides access to official legal, financial, and identity information on businesses. The service, which appears to be connected to the official French Commercial and Companies Register (Infogreffe), allows users to search for and obtain certified data on companies, such as registration details, financial reports, and information on company directors. Its primary customers are other businesses that use this information for due diligence, compliance, lead generation, and other B2B purposes. While the focus is on business data, the service exposes information about company executives and officials, which could be used to target individuals in professional roles. The risks associated with this data are primarily business-related, though the public listing of officials could lead to unwanted contact or phishing attempts. Individuals whose information is listed as part of a business entity have limited ability to opt-out as the data is sourced from official government records. The best way to protect personal information is to be mindful of what is legally required to be public when registering a business.
