Corrections Policy
How ALFA News handles errors: how to report one, how quickly we act, and how corrections are disclosed on the article.
ALFA News reports from primary exchange filings at speed. Speed produces errors. This page explains what we do about them.
Our commitment
We correct errors promptly, visibly, and without waiting to be pushed. We do not silently delete or rewrite an article to make a mistake disappear.
How to report an error
Email info@alfafinder.com with:
- the link to the article,
- the specific statement you believe is wrong, and
- what you believe is correct — ideally with the filing, page or document that shows it.
Anyone can report an error: the company concerned, an investor, or a reader. You do not need to be a subscriber, and we do not require you to identify yourself.
What happens next
- Acknowledgement. We aim to acknowledge every report within one working day.
- Check. We re-read the original filing. The filing is the arbiter — not our article, and not the complaint.
- Action. If we got it wrong, we fix it. If we got it right, we say so and explain why, citing the source.
How a correction appears
- The article is amended and carries a visible Updated timestamp next to the original publication time, so the change is on the record.
- Where the error was material — a wrong company, a wrong figure, a wrong counterparty, or anything that changes what the story means — a correction note is added to the article stating what was wrong and what it now says.
- Trivial fixes such as spelling or formatting are made without a correction note, but still update the timestamp.
When we take an article down
Removal is a last resort, used only where an article should not have been published at all — for example if it was written from a filing that the exchange subsequently withdrew. We do not remove accurate reporting because a company would prefer it were not there. Where an article is removed, the URL returns a clear notice rather than disappearing silently.
Errors in third-party data
Reference financial figures on our articles are supplied by a third-party market data provider and labelled as such. If one of those figures is wrong, tell us anyway — we will flag it upstream and, where the figure is materially misleading, remove it from the article in the meantime.
If you are not satisfied
If you have raised a correction and are not satisfied with how it was handled, you can escalate to our Grievance Officer under the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021. Details are on the Contact page.
