Our commitment
Accuracy is the whole point of the Index. If we get something wrong, or if a service has genuinely changed, we correct it from evidence, log the change publicly, and update the affected score. Corrections are never quietly edited away.
What qualifies as a correction
- A factual error in a review: a mis-stated tracker count, an incorrect login finding, a wrong tested date.
- A material change by the service since it was last tested: it removed a login prompt, dropped trackers, or added a redirect.
- A misattribution: the wrong domain, logo, or operator linked to a review.
Disagreeing with the methodology itself is not a correction; that's feedback, and it's welcome through the submission form. A correction is about a specific, verifiable fact.
Request a correction
Anyone (a visitor, a researcher, or a service operator) can request a correction. Point us at the result, tell us what's inaccurate, and include evidence we can verify.
To request a correction, email the lab with: the review or page URL, what is inaccurate, and any evidence (screenshots, links, dates). Anyone may file one: readers, researchers, or the service operator. Every request is reviewed against fresh test evidence.
Email a correction requestOur review process
- AcknowledgedEvery request is logged on receipt. If you left an email, we confirm we have it.
- VerifiedWe re-check the claim against evidence and, where relevant, re-run the test on the live service.
- ResolvedIf substantiated, we update the review and score, usually within one test cycle; urgent safety issues are handled sooner.
- LoggedThe change is recorded in the public corrections log below, with the date and reason.
The corrections log
Resolved corrections are published here so the record of what changed, and why, stays visible.
| Date | Service | Change | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jul 13, 2026 | StoriesIG | Domain status: storiesig.net marked dead | Live check found the domain unreachable; WHOIS now lists Instagram, LLC. Review pinned to storiesig.info. |

Every entry reflects a documented change to a published review; the affected page is updated in the same pass.
Retests & scores
- A substantiated correction triggers a retest, and the score is recalculated from the new evidence using the standard methodology.
- Updated reviews note that they were corrected and when.
- Previous scores remain visible in the monthly reports, so a correction never erases history.
