OwnBiz works to publish accurate, current, and useful guides. When we get something wrong, we want to fix it. This policy explains how to report an error and how we handle corrections.
1. What to report
Please tell us if you find:
- a factual error, such as a wrong agency name, requirement, form, or rule;
- information that has become outdated because a law, regulation, or procedure changed;
- an arithmetic error in a table or worked example;
- an internal contradiction, such as a figure that differs between a table and the text;
- a broken or incorrect link in the Further reading section;
- wording that is unclear, misleading, or disrespectful.
2. How to report an error
Email [email protected] with the subject line “Correction” and include:
- The URL of the page.
- The exact text or table cell you believe is wrong.
- What you believe is correct.
- A source that supports the correction, preferably an official government or regulator page.
- Your name, if you would like us to be able to follow up with you.
We cannot give individual advice through correction requests. Please do not include confidential or sensitive information.
3. How we review reports
We read every correction request. We check the reported issue against official and reputable sources. If the information is wrong, outdated, or unclear, we correct the page. If we conclude the information is accurate, we leave it as is. We may not be able to reply to every message individually.
4. How we make corrections
- Material corrections that change a fact, requirement, figure, or recommendation are made in the article, and the “Last updated” date is changed. When we review the article’s facts as part of the correction, we also update the “Last fact-checked” date.
- Minor corrections, such as typos, formatting, grammar, and broken links, are made without changing the dates.
- Outdated information caused by a change in the law or in agency procedures is updated in the same way as a material correction.
If an error is serious enough that the guide could lead a reader to a harmful or unlawful decision, we may remove or restrict the page until it is corrected.
