Hello, Can I confirm my understanding that the consumer profile data in verisk is a cross-section of individuals and households in the latest version of the data? Is the older version available? I understand that the PIDs in the consumer profile data and address history data in verisk are different. I am wondering whether I can merge these two data sets by the most recent address of individuals. Thank you very much!

Dear whom it may concern,

Hi,
I’m currently exploring the SafeGraph Spend dataset and would like to better understand the sources of the data.
Could you please let me know which financial institutions (e.g., banks, credit card networks, or processors) contribute to the anonymized debit and credit card transaction data used in the Spend dataset?
If the exact institutions cannot be disclosed, any general information (e.g., whether data is sourced from major national banks, regional banks, or third-party aggregators) would be greatly appreciated.

Hi- We want to order for a research team using an Institution Purchase order for the University at Buffalo. Can someone reach out to me to begin that process? Thank you.

Hi - I heard from a user that obtains Advan directly (not through dewey) that in February 2025 Advan discontinued the production of the weekly and monthly patterns datasets with legacy usage of Safegraph placekeys. They appear to now be producing Patterns+ which has their new version of a placekey (now called footprint_id) and the Patterns+ data is not linkable to Safegraph Spend, etc. Is Dewey still receiving a version of newly-produced data that has legacy placekeys? Are there any changes to the Advan weekly patterns data that Dewey continues to provide?

Hi, I'm working with SafeGraph's Spend dataset and would like to focus my analysis on a specific region, such as Los Angeles.
