Corrections policy
Records change and mistakes happen. This policy sets out what we treat as a correction, how to report one, and what we do with it.
Last reviewed August 2026.
What counts as a correction
A correction is a change to a factual claim that was wrong when published: a misstated identifier, a misattributed record, an incorrect founding year, a wrong figure or a claim that contradicts the source it cites.
An update is different. Federal records change, and a page that reflected a snapshot accurately at the time is updated, not corrected, when a newer snapshot supersedes it. Snapshot dates on the page make the difference visible.
How to report an error
Send the page URL, the specific statement you believe is wrong, and the source that supports the correct version. First-party company documentation and public federal records are the most useful evidence.
Requests to remove accurate information are not corrections. A federal record shown on a page is a public record, and disagreement with what it says is addressed with the agency that holds it, not with us.
What happens after a report
A named researcher checks the claim against the sources on file, and a named reviewer signs off on any change before it is published. If the original claim cannot be supported, it is removed rather than softened.
Where a company's own sources contradict each other, we record the conflict on the page instead of choosing between them.
How changes are shown
Corrected pages carry the byline of the researcher and reviewer responsible and an updated review date. Material corrections to a factual claim are described on the page so a reader can see what changed.
