Data Sources, Attributions & Disclaimers
Effective date: 23 October 2026
Global Live Tracker aggregates data from public agencies, open-data projects and commercial providers. The data stays the property of its sources and is shown under each source's terms. This page gives the required attributions and explains the limits of the data.
Important disclaimers
- Information only. All data, maps, scores and AI-generated summaries are provided for general information. They are not investment, legal, compliance, security or safety advice. Do not rely on them alone for decisions with legal, financial or safety consequences.
- Not real-time guaranteed. Feeds can be delayed, incomplete, wrong or temporarily unavailable. Positions of aircraft, vessels and satellites are approximate and must never be used for navigation.
- AI content. Some articles, bylines, summaries and insights are generated by AI and are labelled as such. They can contain mistakes. Check the cited sources.
Sanctions data
Sanctions information is compiled from official lists (including OFAC, the UN Security Council and EU consolidated lists) and the OpenSanctions project.
- It is not a sanctions screening or compliance tool. Lists may be incomplete, out of date or delayed, and names may match the wrong person or entity (false positives) or miss a listed one (false negatives).
- A "no match" result does not mean a person, company, vessel or country is unsanctioned.
- Always check the official list of the relevant authority, and use a licensed screening service and professional advice before acting.
- People and entities on these lists can contact privacy@globaltrackers.app to ask about or correct information about them (see section 11 of the Privacy Policy).
