FactHeck aims to be accurate, but no fact-checker is right every time. When we get something wrong, we correct it openly rather than quietly.
How to report an error
If you believe a FactHeck verdict, guide, or other published page is inaccurate, email hello@factheck.com with:
- a link to the page or verdict in question;
- which specific claim or statement you think is wrong; and
- any evidence or sources that support your correction.
We review every report. You do not need an account, and reporting an error is free.
How we handle corrections
- Clear factual errors are corrected as soon as we have confirmed them.
- Material corrections — those that change a verdict or a key conclusion — are noted on the page, with the date and a short description of what changed, so the record is transparent.
- Minor fixes (typos, broken links, wording that does not change the meaning) are made without a formal correction note.
- Disagreements about judgement — where the evidence is genuinely contested — may lead us to soften, caveat, or re-rate a claim rather than flip it; we explain our reasoning either way.
Stable URLs
Once a page is published it keeps its URL. If a page must be removed or merged, we redirect the old address rather than letting it break, so anything that links to or cites FactHeck continues to resolve.
