Where Fintrics data comes from and how it is updated.
Fintrics uses public market and economic sources to build company reports and scores. This page explains the main sources, update timing, and the limits of that data.

The important questions are simple: where the data comes from, how often it changes, what is retained, and what limitations still apply when public source data is turned into a report.
Fintrics is built on public filing and macroeconomic data.
The platform relies on publicly available financial disclosures and public macro sources, then organizes them into a report structure that is easier to read and compare.
EDGAR (SEC)
Fintrics extracts financial information from SEC filings such as 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K reports. That includes revenue, profit, balance sheet data, cash flow information, and related filing disclosures.
Source: SEC EDGAR Database
FRED (Federal Reserve)
Fintrics uses public macroeconomic indicators from the Federal Reserve Economic Data database, including rates, inflation, growth, employment, and production-related series.
Source: FRED Economic Data
The platform is built from publicly available filings and economic data rather than opaque proprietary feeds.
Users can understand whether a figure reflects a filing date, capture date, or processed report state.
The usefulness of the report still depends on the quality, timing, and consistency of the source data.
Update frequency
- FRED data: Updated during the nightly refresh using the latest available values from the source API.
- EDGAR data: Updated during the nightly refresh after checking for newly published filings.
- Stock reports: Regenerated after refresh using the most recent processed source data available.
Fintrics can show the original source date, the date data was captured into the platform, and the filing type for filing-derived values where relevant.
This helps clarify whether a figure reflects a new filing, an older period, or the latest processed data available in the system.
Data retention
- Historical stock reports are retained for comparison and research continuity.
- Raw imported data is stored with timestamps for audit and refresh purposes.
- User account data is retained until deletion is requested.
- Support tickets and communications may be retained for compliance and support history.
Third-party services
- Supabase: authentication and database services
- Stripe: subscription and payment processing
- Vercel: hosting and application delivery

Accuracy and limitations
Public source data can contain delays, restatements, inconsistencies, or third-party processing errors. Fintrics works to keep reports current, but important figures should still be verified against primary sources when it matters for your use.

Source data is most useful when it is connected to methodology, reports, and comparable companies.
Practical limits to understand before relying on any report.
What public data sources does Fintrics use?
Fintrics uses public company information, SEC filing-derived data, supported financial metrics, sector context, and public macroeconomic series such as FRED where relevant.
Is Fintrics a live market data feed?
No. Fintrics is a research and education platform. Reports refresh after supported source data is processed; they are not live tick-by-tick market data.
Should source figures be verified?
Yes. Public and third-party data can contain delays, errors, omissions, or restatements. Important figures should be verified against primary sources where it matters for your use.
