Corrections Policy

Last updated: [May 3, 2026]

Mistakes happen, even on a careful site. When they happen on Oton Technology, they are fixed openly and clearly. This page explains what counts as a correction, how readers can flag errors, and how every fix is documented so trust is never quietly chipped away.

The shortest version: if something on the site is wrong, it gets corrected, and readers always know what changed.

Why This Policy Exists

A tech publication lives or dies on whether readers can trust what they read. That trust is not a one time thing. It is rebuilt every day, in every article, with every fact.

The point of this policy is simple. To make sure:

Errors are fixed quickly
Fixes are visible, not hidden
Readers can tell when an article has changed
The same standards apply to every article, every author, and every brand mentioned

Quietly editing a post to cover up a mistake is not allowed on this site. Honest corrections are.

Who Handles Corrections

All corrections are reviewed and processed by Logan Pierce, founder and editor of Oton Technology. If contributors are added in the future, the same standards apply, with the editor making the final call.

For corrections, email support@otontechnology.com.

What Counts as a Correction

A correction is any change made to fix a factual error in a published article. Common examples include:

Wrong specs, prices, model numbers, or release dates
Misspelled names of people, products, or companies
Inaccurate quotes or wrongly attributed statements
Wrong figures, statistics, or benchmark numbers
Misstated facts about a company, person, or event
Outdated information presented as current
Broken links to important sources
Misleading headlines or subheadings that need clarification

Small typo fixes, formatting tweaks, and minor copy edits are not treated as corrections. Those are handled silently as part of normal editing.

What Counts as an Update

An update is different from a correction. Updates are made when an article is still accurate, but new information has come in that readers should know about.

Examples of updates include:

A company response added after publication
A price change confirmed by the manufacturer
A new firmware release that changes how a product behaves
Additional context from a developing story
New benchmark results from a follow up testing session

Updates are added with a clear note at the top or bottom of the article, showing the date and what changed. The original reporting is not removed.

How to Flag an Error

If you spot an error in any article on https://otontechnology.com, the fastest way to get it fixed is to email support@otontechnology.com with the following details:

The full URL of the article in question
The specific sentence, paragraph, or claim that is wrong
What the correct information is, if you know it
A source for the correct information, where possible

Tips submitted with a clear source are reviewed first. Anonymous corrections are welcome and reviewed the same way, but verification may take longer without a contact point.

How Corrections Are Reviewed

Every correction request goes through a short, consistent review process:

The flagged claim is checked against the original source used in the article
If the original source supports the article, the new information is checked against additional sources
Where the article is wrong, the correction is made and a visible note is added
Where the article is right, a reply is sent to the reader explaining the sourcing
Where a claim is genuinely uncertain, the article is updated with a clear note that the matter is unresolved

The goal is to be right, not to be defensive. If a reader has the better source, the article changes.

How Corrections Are Displayed

Corrected articles always include a visible correction note. The note is placed near the top or bottom of the article, depending on how significant the correction is, and it includes:

The date the correction was made
A short, plain English description of what was wrong
The corrected information
Where relevant, a credit to the reader who flagged the error (with permission)

For example:

Correction, May 3, 2026: An earlier version of this article listed the laptop’s battery as 65Wh. The correct figure is 75Wh, confirmed in the manufacturer’s spec sheet. Thanks to a reader for flagging the error.

Corrections stay on the article permanently. They are not removed once enough time has passed.

Major Corrections

Some corrections affect the core of an article. These are treated more seriously and may include:

A correction note at the top of the article, not just the bottom
An updated headline if the original is misleading
A note added to the homepage, social posts, or newsletter where the original story was promoted
Direct outreach to the affected company, person, or source if the error damaged a reputation

In rare cases, an article that turns out to be substantially wrong may be retracted entirely. When that happens, the article is replaced with a clearly labeled retraction notice that explains what was wrong and why the original story is no longer available.

Articles are never silently deleted to hide a mistake.

Corrections to Headlines and Social Posts

Headlines often travel further than articles, especially through social media and search results. A wrong headline is treated as a real error.

When a headline is changed:

The new headline appears at the top of the article
A correction note explains what the old headline said and why it was changed
The original story URL stays the same so old links keep working
If the headline appeared in a social post or newsletter that already went out, a follow up note is published on the same channel where possible

Time to Fix

Most corrections are made within 24 to 48 hours of being verified. Significant corrections that need additional research or outreach may take longer. In every case, readers who flag a correction receive a reply once the fix is in place.

For breaking news, articles published quickly with limited information are updated as more facts come in. Each update is logged inside the article so the editing history is transparent.

What Is Not a Correction

Some reader requests are not handled as corrections. These include:

Disagreements with a reviewer’s opinion or product score
Requests to remove a negative review because the company disagrees with it
Requests to add or remove links for SEO or marketing reasons
Requests to “balance” a story by adding promotional language for a brand
Requests from PR agencies to remove unflattering details that are factually accurate

Differences of opinion are welcome in the comments and through reader feedback, but they are not corrections.

Outdated Articles

Tech moves fast. An article that was accurate at publication can become outdated within months. When older articles are still ranking and being read but no longer reflect reality:

They may be updated with a clear “updated on [date]” note
They may be marked as outdated, with a link to a newer article
In rare cases, they may be unpublished if they have become genuinely misleading

The goal is to make sure readers always know how current the information they are reading is.

Reader Acknowledgement

Readers who flag verified errors play a real role in keeping the site honest. With permission, the corrected article will include a brief credit, such as “Thanks to [reader name] for flagging this.” If a reader prefers to remain anonymous, no name is published.

How Corrections Are Tracked

A simple internal record is kept of every correction made on the site, including:

Article URL
Date of publication
Date of correction
Description of the error
Description of the fix
Source used to verify the correction

This record is kept to spot patterns, learn from mistakes, and improve sourcing and fact checking over time.

Updates to This Corrections Policy

This policy will be updated as the site grows. When changes happen, the “Last updated” date at the top of the page is revised. Significant updates are flagged on the site when appropriate.

How to Contact Oton Technology

A real person reads every message that comes in. Verified corrections are usually live within 24 to 48 hours.

A Final Note

A site that gets things right most of the time and admits it openly when it does not is more trustworthy than a site that pretends to be perfect. This page is the proof that Oton Technology takes accuracy seriously, and it is also the invitation to readers to keep the site honest.
