Notice, takedown and complaints

Tell us about something we have published that should not be there. You do not need an account.

Before you send this

This form goes straight into the queue our moderators work. It is the right route for a review you believe is unlawful, defamatory, or contains personal data about you or someone else — and it is also the route for appealing a decision we have already taken.

Not on its own a ground

A poor rating is not, by itself, a reason to remove a review. Neither is disagreeing with it, nor thinking it unrepresentative. If that is the objection, the right of reply will serve you better and is free for every verified institution. The review guidelines set out exactly what does get removed.

What happens next

A person reads it — not a filter. You get a written answer with reasons, whichever way it goes, at the address you give below. We aim to answer within five working days, sooner where the notice is about personal data. If we decide against you and you disagree, reply to that message and a second person will look at it.

The other side gets a say

An institution has the right to reply to any review about it, and where we act on a notice about published content the author is told what happened and can appeal. That is deliberate: a takedown process that only one party can see is one that gets used as a tactic.

Send a notice

The name we should use when we answer. We do not publish it.
Where the answer goes. It is not published and not used for anything else.
Paste the address of the page. If it is one review on a page of many, say which in your explanation.
What is wrong with it

0 / 5000

What is wrong, and why. Quote the words you object to and say what is inaccurate about them — a notice that only names a category is one we cannot act on.

Required. A notice made in bad faith to suppress honest criticism can carry legal consequences of its own.
