The contents of this record are private and confidential and should not be disclosed to third parties unless: (i) the terms of your agreement with Exiger allow you to do so; (ii) the record subject requests any data that you may hold on them, and such data includes their World-Check record; or (iii) you are under some other legal obligation to do so.

The nature of linking varies considerably. Many persons are included solely because they hold or have held prominent political positions or are connected to such individuals.
