Respecting intellectual property is important to us.
Every article, guide, review, comparison, and educational resource published on FactAdviser is created with care, and we expect the same level of respect for the work of others. This policy explains how copyright concerns are handled and what to do if you believe content on FactAdviser affects your intellectual property rights.
Our goal is to resolve genuine copyright issues fairly, responsibly, and without unnecessary delays.
Respect for Original Work
FactAdviser publishes original content to educate readers about online trust, verification, consumer protection, and internet safety.
We make every reasonable effort to avoid publishing material that infringes another person’s copyright. If a mistake happens, we want to know about it so we can review the situation and, where appropriate, take corrective action.
At the same time, we also expect others to respect the original work published on FactAdviser.
If You Believe Your Copyright Has Been Infringed
If you own the copyright to a piece of work, or you are authorised to act on behalf of the copyright owner, you may ask us to review content that you believe has been published without permission.
To help us understand your concern, please include:
- Your full name.
- Your contact email address.
- A description of the copyrighted work.
- The web address (URL) of the page on FactAdviser that you are referring to.
- A clear explanation of why you believe your copyright has been infringed.
- Any supporting information or documents that may help us verify your claim.
Providing complete and accurate information allows us to investigate your request more efficiently.
What Happens Next?
Once we receive your request, we will carefully review the information you have provided.
Depending on the circumstances, we may:
- Contact you if we need additional information.
- Review the content alongside the evidence submitted.
- Remove or update content where necessary.
- Decide that no infringement has occurred if the available evidence does not support the claim.
Every request is reviewed individually. We do not automatically remove content simply because a complaint has been submitted.
If Content Was Removed by Mistake
We understand that misunderstandings can happen.
If you believe your content was removed from FactAdviser in error, you may contact us with additional information explaining your position.
We will review the matter again before making a final decision.
False or Misleading Claims
Please submit copyright requests only when you genuinely believe your rights have been infringed.
Knowingly providing false, misleading, or fraudulent information may delay the review process and could have legal consequences under applicable laws.
We believe copyright requests should always be made honestly and in good faith.
