Transparency alternatives to Q4
Other Investor relations and disclosure vendors we measure, sorted by how much we found at them and not at Q4. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 23 that differ from Q4 on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Q4 has 10 gaps in what we could measure: Data processing agreement, Subprocessor list, Data location stated, Status page with history, Public pricing, Uptime SLA with a figure, No third-party tracking before consent, security.txt (RFC 9116), Notice before subprocessors change, Named privacy contact. The column “Found there, not found at Q4” is the one that closes them.

Only criteria we could measure for both are counted. Where we could measure one and not the other, the row is silent: that would be a statement about our measurement, not about either vendor. Every single result with its source is on the two profiles.
