Sources and licences
As of 5 October 2026
This is an English translation for convenience. Only the German version is legally binding: Quellen und Lizenzen (Deutsch).
RegiLens uses only official registers and open data. For each source, this page shows the licence or terms of use under which we use the data and which attribution is required for reuse. In the company profile, every value shows the source it comes from. Calculated values (score, signals, estimates, AI texts) are analyses by RegiLens, not register content.
Anyone who reuses data from RegiLens must comply with the conditions of the respective source themselves – above all the attribution. The text behind the link prevails. Names of sources and licences and the required attribution are given in their original wording.
