Integrity uses internal, government and third-party data
Aristotle maintains internal databases and accesses government and other third-party databases for Integrity. Examples include names, addresses, phone numbers, birthdates, government identification, IP addresses, social-network data, financial watchlists and politically exposed person data used for KYC. These are examples of Service Information, rather than a statement that every check collects every field.

To operate the Integrity Services, we maintain internal databases (and have access to databases provided by governments and other third parties) containing personal information
such as names, addresses, telephone numbers, birthdates, and government-issued identification data, IP addresses, social network data, as well as details relevant to Know-Your-Customer (“KYC”) requirements, such financial watch list and Politically Exposed Person data.
We refer to all of the above information as the “Service Information.”

Aristotle websites do not respond to Do Not Track signals
Because Aristotle says browsers lack a uniform way to communicate Do Not Track, its websites do not currently interpret those signals, respond to them or change practices on receipt. This statement addresses Do Not Track and does not establish how other signals are handled. The policy separately offers cookie controls.
