# Profile Pipeline

The profile pipeline is part of the enrichment process. It retrieves the current data from a profile, and updates the profiles with the information from the retrieval.

Once the profile is updated, it is passed to a ProfileRouter. The ProfileRouter takes the Profile, and determines if it's part of an existing Person or Company. If it is, then it leaves it alone. If it is not, then it queues the Profile for EntityClustering.
