Corrections and Updates Policy
Tech Observer Magazine aims to be accurate. When we make a mistake, we correct it transparently and quickly.
How we handle corrections
When we publish something that is factually wrong — a misstated number, a wrong designation, a misspelled name, an incorrect attribution — we correct the article promptly. Corrections are made directly in the article body, and a note is appended at the foot of the article describing what was corrected and when.
A typical correction note reads:
Correction (7 May 2026, 14:30 IST): An earlier version of this article said the fine was €2.4 billion. The correct figure is €2.4 billion across two cases combined. The article has been updated.
We do not silently change facts in published articles.
Updates that are not corrections
When a story develops and we add new information — a fresh statement from a company, a new development the next day — we either update the existing article (and stamp the update at the top) or publish a follow-up story. Updates that change the substantive meaning of the original article are flagged with an update note:
Updated 7 May 2026, 16:00 IST with a statement from Google.
Routine copy-edits (fixing a typo, tightening a sentence) do not require a note.
Right to be quoted accurately
If you are quoted in a Tech Observer Magazine article and you believe the quote misrepresents what you said, write to us at the address on our Complaint Redressal page. We will check the recording or notes, correct the article if the quote is wrong, and append a correction note. If we believe the quote is accurate as published, we will explain why.
How to request a correction
If you find a factual error in any of our articles, please write to us at the email address listed on our Complaint Redressal page. Include:
- The URL of the article.
- The specific statement you believe is incorrect.
- The correct information, with a source where possible.
We aim to respond within five business days. If a correction is warranted, we will publish it as quickly as we can verify the correction.
Removal vs correction
We correct articles. We do not remove them, except in narrow circumstances:
- Court orders or other binding legal directions.
- Where a security risk to a named individual would result from continued publication.
- Where an article is found to be substantially wrong in a way that cannot be repaired by a correction.
In all such cases, the URL will continue to resolve and will display a notice explaining that the article has been removed and why. We do not unpublish articles to suit the preferences of subjects, advertisers or anyone else.
Right to be forgotten
We receive occasional requests from individuals to remove old articles in which they were named. Tech Observer Magazine is a journalistic record. We will not, as a matter of routine, remove or anonymise news reports because the subject would prefer they did not remain online. Requests citing specific harm — for example, an unspent conviction in a jurisdiction with applicable rules — will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the Editorial Director.
