Questions
How does LatSouth know a company uses WhatsApp click-to-chat?
Its own homepage shows WhatsApp click-to-chat through a stylesheet, iframe or link URL, a script the page loads. The fingerprint table is versioned and tested per signature; only the technology id and the evidence type are kept.
Does the file include contacts?
Yes, the company-level contacts sold in the other Brazil files: the registered phone with an accountant flag, the registered e-mail only when it is a role mailbox on the company's own domain, and the verified website. No personal data.
How fresh is it?
The homepages were scanned on 2026-11-03; the company columns come from the Receita Federal release 2026-10-10. A refresh is available on request.
Company data only. Counts are of companies (head-office CNPJ), never of people. LatSouthBot reads each verified homepage once, after its robots.txt, without logging in, filling forms or running JavaScript, and keeps only the technology ids and how they were seen, never the page text. A site that disallows LatSouthBot is not scanned; to opt out, add it to robots.txt or write to hello@latsouth.com. About LatSouthBot · Compliance.
