How requests are assessed

Requests alleging a violation of personal rights are answered within 24 hours at the latest, in line with Article 9 of Law No. 5651. If a request is found to be justified, the content is removed or corrected, or the relevant passage is taken out, and the applicant is informed. Content notified by a court or a competent authority is blocked immediately, as the decision requires.

Copyright notices lead to a review of the content. Some of the photographs on the site come from licensed image archives, with their source and photographer recorded; data cards and charts are produced by the site itself. An image or text you report as yours may be taken down until the review is concluded. Details of copyright requests are on the Copyright and Content Policy page.
