Is insider transactions data legal?

Insider transactions data, which refers to information about the buying and selling of a company's stock by its officers, directors, and employees, is generally legal and publicly available. In many jurisdictions, companies are required to disclose insider transactions to regulatory bodies such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the United States or equivalent regulatory authorities in other countries.

These disclosures are intended to provide transparency and help prevent illegal insider trading.

Isn't insider trading illegal?

An insider transaction is the buying or selling of a company's securities (such as stocks or options) by individuals who have access to nonpublic information about the company, including officers, directors, and employees.

Insider transactions are legal and are not to be confused with illegal insider trading. The Securities and Exchange Commission defines illegal insider trading as "buying or selling a security, in breach of a fiduciary duty or other relationship of trust and confidence, on the basis of material, nonpublic information about the security. Insider trading violations may also include "tipping" such information, securities trading by the person "tipped," and securities trading by those who misappropriate such information."

Who qualifies as an insider?

The definition of an insider can vary slightly depending on the jurisdiction and the specific regulations in place, but generally, insiders include individuals who have access to nonpublic information about a company. The following categories of individuals are commonly considered insiders:

• Officers: This includes top executives such as the CEO (Chief Executive Officer), CFO (Chief Financial Officer), COO (Chief Operating Officer), and other high-ranking officers.
• Directors: Members of a company's board of directors are often considered insiders. This includes both executive directors (who are also officers of the company) and non-executive directors.
• Employees: Some employees, especially those in key positions or with access to sensitive information, may be classified as insiders. This can include individuals in finance, legal, research and development, and other departments.
• Major Shareholders: Individuals or entities that hold a significant percentage of a company's shares may be considered insiders, especially if they have access to nonpublic information.
