Fields available
Coverage of the unified 44-column schema for Brazil. 149,182 rows (1.4%) have the legal name masked as *** because the legal form carries a person's name. Registered phone and e-mail are in the Brazil files and the Brazil actor, with an accountant-contact flag. The LATAM unified set carries the corporate e-mail domain only.

What is excluded
- Individual entrepreneurs (MEI and empresário individual, legal nature 213-5) and the other natural-person legal forms (401-4, 409-0, 412-0).
- The partners and shareholders table (QSA) and every CPF number. Trailing CPF-like digit runs are stripped from names.
- Personal mobiles: the registered phone and e-mail are the company's filed contact, and they ship only in the Brazil-only files and actor, never in the LATAM unified set.
- In the LATAM unified set, EIRELI and single-member law firms (legal natures 230-5, 231-3, 232-1; 149,182 rows) have their names masked because the form requires the owner's name.
Known limitations
- The registry publishes no revenue or headcount. Size is the Receita porte band (ME, EPP, DEMAIS); DEMAIS mixes mid-market, large, nonprofits and companies that never declared a band, so it is harmonised as size_class = unknown.
- The website column is HTTP-verified for part of the corporate domains (the verification pass runs after each release); unverified domains ship as website_guess.
- About 37% of registered contacts belong to the company's accountant; the Brazil files carry is_likely_accountant_contact so you can filter them.
