  • What do we consider as internal use?

    Use of UP2DATA data for exclusively internal use by the contracting company and the institutions present in the economic group annex of the UPDATA Agreement.

    For more information access our commercial policy and contract available on our website on the “How to hire and Access” page.

  • What do we consider as distribution?

    It is the availability or marketing of UP2DATA data to institutions and/or end users that are not part of your economic group. This distribution can take place in an environment with restricted access, such as those requiring a login and password, or a secure file traffic network (DISTRIBUTION DISPLAY or NON-DISPLAY) and/or in a public environment (DISCLOSURE).

  • What are the uses of the data allowed by signing the contract?

    Signing the UP2DATA Agreement allows the contracting institution to use the UP2DATA data for internal consumption (internal use) and/or distribute the data to users and/or institutions not included in the contracting institution's economic group annex (external distribution). 

    The use permission will depend on the annexes filled out by the institution, that is, the contractual annexes determine what will be the use of the data (internal or distribution) as well as the rates and responsibilities applicable to each of its uses, depending on the contracted channels.

    For more information about the purpose of each attachment please check the " Filling the Contract of UP2DATA" section available on our website on the “How to hire and Access” page.

    It is important to mention that those who use UP2DATA data as input for external distribution and the creation of indexes, rates, benchmarks and the like, must contact B3 and request authorization/license for such use, following the necessary contractual procedures.

  • Who should sign the UP2DATA contract?

    The UP2DATA Agreement is a modular contract in which the annexes determine the type of use that the client will be able to make of the data resulting from this service (internal use or distribution). This contract is intended for the following institutions:

    • Institutions that connect directly with B3 and use the data for internal consumption;
    • Institutions that connect directly with B3 and use the data for data distribution (Distributor/Carrier);
    • Institutions that wish to distribute UP2DATA data regardless of whether they have access to UP2DATA data by B3 or through a Distributor/Carrier;
    • Institutions that access UP2DATA data through a Distributor/Carrier and are in the "Pass Through" pricing model.
  • I am already a UP2DATA client, do I need to make a new contract due to the launch of the New Commercial Policy?

    For contractors who only make internal use of UP2DATA channels, without distribution of information, no re-contracting will be necessary.

    If the client wants to modify the contracted channels or the number of access keys, the client must follow the standard procedure for updating annexes as described in section 6 of the UP2DATA Commercial Policy. The annexes and the Policy are available on the “How to hire and Access” page on our website.

    For contractors who make or intend to make external distribution of data, it is necessary to sign UP2DATA's new unified Agreement, which covers internal use and distribution of data. The new Agreement, Commercial Policy and Annexes are available on the “How to hire and Access” page on our website.

  • What are the main changes in the UP2DATA service with the publication of Commercial Policy 1.6?

    Before the publication of this policy, the client contracting for INTERNAL use of UP2DATA only for activities inside the company was different from those who would like to DISTRIBUTE the data from the UP2DATA service. Thus, we had the presence of two separate contracts, the Service Contract and the Distribution Agreement.

    In order to simplify the hiring process of UP2DATA and the distribution of its data, these two contracts were unified in the same Commercial Policy and Agreement.

    In addition to this modification, Commercial Policy 1.6 had the revision of the UP2DATA channel values for use and distribution, presenting new possibilities for data access and reorganization of the channels made available.

    To consult UP2DATA’s new Commercial Policy, simply access the UP2DATA session on the B3 website, on is available on our website on the “How to hire and Access” page.
