Corrections Policy

Our Commitment to Accuracy

At Healthlynic.com, our primary objective is to offer our readers accurate, reliable, and up-to-date health and wellness information. We recognize the significant responsibility that accompanies publishing health content, and your trust is our most valuable asset.

Our commitment to accuracy is foundational. We have a multi-step Editorial Policy that includes rigorous research, sourcing from evidence-based materials, and review by qualified medical experts to prevent errors from occurring.

However, we acknowledge that mistakes can happen. When they do, we are committed to addressing them with transparency, speed, and clarity. This Corrections Policy outlines our process for identifying and rectifying errors.

How We Handle Corrections

We have a straightforward and transparent system for making corrections to our content. We differentiate between minor and major errors.

1. Minor Corrections

Minor corrections address errors that do not alter the factual meaning of the content. This includes:

  • Spelling mistakes
  • Grammatical errors
  • Typos
  • Broken or outdated links

Our editorial team will correct these errors directly on the page as soon as they are identified. These changes typically do not require a formal correction note.

2. Major Factual Corrections

A major correction is required when there is a factual inaccuracy that could mislead a reader or misrepresent a medical finding. This includes:

  • Incorrect data, statistics, or figures
  • Inaccurate medical statements or definitions
  • Misinterpretation of a scientific study
  • Information that has become outdated due to new clinical guidelines

When a major factual error is identified, we will take the following steps:

  1. Correct the Error: The inaccurate information in the article will be corrected promptly.
  2. Add a Correction Note: We will add a clearly labeled “Correction” note at the bottom of the article. This note will state the date the correction was made and will clearly explain what was changed and why.
  3. Update Across Platforms: If the content containing the error was shared on our social media channels or in newsletters, we will issue a correction on those platforms as well.

Content Updates vs. Corrections

The field of health and medicine is constantly evolving. We regularly review and update our articles with the latest research, guidelines, and information to ensure they remain a comprehensive and current resource. These updates are not considered corrections of errors but rather enhancements to our existing content. All updated articles are marked with the date they were last reviewed or updated.

How to Report an Error

We value our readers as partners in maintaining our accuracy. If you believe you have found an error in any of our content, we encourage you to notify us.

Our editorial team will review your feedback, cross-reference the information with our sources and experts, and take appropriate action. We aim to respond to your email as quickly as possible.
