Corrections Policy

At CoinLaw, we strive to publish accurate, balanced, and timely information. When we make an error, we correct it promptly and clearly. This Corrections Policy explains when and how we correct our content, how readers can identify updates, and how we maintain accountability.

Our Commitment

CoinLaw is dedicated to accuracy, fairness, and transparency. We believe trust is built by acknowledging and fixing mistakes rather than concealing them. Every correction or clarification helps maintain the integrity of our reporting and analysis.

Types of Corrections

We classify updates and corrections according to their purpose and impact:

• Correction: A factual error is fixed, and a public note is added to explain the change.
• Clarification: Language is adjusted to make the meaning clearer without changing the underlying facts.
• Update: New information is added after publication to reflect recent developments.
• Editor’s note: A short explanation is provided when an article has been significantly revised or when editorial processes need clarification.
• Retraction: The complete removal of an article that contains fundamental inaccuracies or unverifiable information.

When We Issue Corrections

We issue a correction or clarification when:

• A factual statement is inaccurate or incomplete.
• A quote or attribution is wrong or misleading.
• Data or figures are incorrect.
• A story lacks sufficient context or misrepresents a situation.
• A published item omits a necessary disclosure or conflict of interest.

Placement and Visibility

• Material errors that affect understanding are corrected at the top of the article with a clear note showing the date and time.
• Minor factual or contextual errors are corrected at the bottom of the article with a timestamp.
• Minor copyedits that do not affect meaning, such as grammar or punctuation, may be corrected silently and logged internally.
• Updates are labeled separately from corrections so readers can distinguish between an error fix and a new development.

The Correction Process

1. Identification: Errors may be found by staff or reported by readers.
2. Verification: Editors verify the issue using credible sources or primary documents.
3. Revision: The text is amended, and a correction or clarification note is prepared.
4. Approval: A senior editor reviews and approves all material corrections.
5. Publication: The note is added to the article with the correction date and time.
6. Notification: If the error appeared in newsletters, social media posts, or push alerts, we update or clarify those as needed.

Third Party and Guest Content

When we publish third party or guest content, such as op-eds or wire reports, we work with the original source to issue corrections as needed. Any correction from the source is clearly labeled to indicate that it originated externally.

Press Releases

CoinLaw publishes press releases provided directly by companies, organizations, or public relations agencies. These releases are published as submitted and are not independently verified or edited by our editorial team. Each press release clearly includes a note indicating that it is third party supplied content.

Any corrections to press releases must come from the original issuing organization. CoinLaw will update or replace the release only after receiving an official revised version from that source.

Legal and Safety Considerations

If a potential correction involves defamation, privacy, or legal risk, our legal counsel reviews the issue before publication. Safety concerns are handled with priority.

Record Keeping

We maintain an internal log of all corrections. Each entry includes the article URL, the nature of the correction, the action taken, and the approving editor. This record helps ensure accountability and consistency across our newsroom.

Contact Us

If you believe we have published inaccurate information, please let us know. You can reach us through our Contact Us page. Please include the article link, headline, date, and a short explanation of the issue.

Effective Date and Updates

We may update this policy as our editorial practices evolve. Readers are encouraged to review this page regularly to stay informed about our correction standards.
