Corrections policy

Send an email to hello@horizon-scanner.com with the subject "Correction" and ideally the URL of the affected article, the quoted sentence and the primary source that refutes our content. We respond to time-sensitive corrections — for example an incorrectly cited date — within two business days.

Suggestions, additions or hints about outdated data are welcome. We're grateful for any good-faith tip; a correction without sufficient supporting evidence is reviewed, not automatically implemented.

Material corrections — when a claim was factually wrong (e.g. a wrong date, a wrong regulation number, a wrong quoted article wording, a wrong legal conclusion). These are corrected in the article body directly; at the article end a correction note appears with the date and a short description of what was changed.

Clarifications — when a claim was technically correct but could be misunderstood. We make a clarification in the body and note it at the article end in a separate clarification box.

Updates — when the underlying legal or regulatory situation has changed (e.g. a later Q&A clarifies a point differently). We mark the date of last update in the article header and describe the change in an update note. The original text remains visible; we do not overwrite history.

Published articles are not deleted because someone is uncomfortable with their content. Correction yes, deletion no. Deletion is considered only if an article has become legally untenable (e.g. an earlier-correct claim was overturned by a ruling) or if it infringes the rights of third parties — both extremely rare in our subject area.

Editorial responsibility lies with Project Horizon GesbR (see [Imprint](/en/impressum)). Operational corrections are made by the Horizon Scanner Editorial Team; for legal questions on a publication we obtain external legal counsel. Complaints that cannot be resolved internally may be directed to the competent national media authority (for Austrian media: KommAustria).
