At ShockStories, we aim to publish interesting and engaging stories while making reasonable efforts to ensure that the information we share is accurate and properly presented.

We also understand that mistakes can happen and that people may have legitimate concerns about content published on our website.

If you believe an article, image, statement, or other material on shockstories.com should be corrected, updated, or reviewed, you can contact us using the process below.

1. Request a Correction

If you believe an article contains inaccurate or misleading information, please contact us with:

  • The title or URL of the article
  • The specific information you believe is incorrect
  • The correct information, if known
  • Reliable sources supporting your request
  • Your name and contact email

We will review the information and, where appropriate, correct or update the article.

2. Request Content Removal

We consider content-removal requests on a case-by-case basis.

A request may be considered where content:

  • Contains significant factual inaccuracies
  • Contains incorrect or outdated personal information
  • Unintentionally identifies a private individual
  • Uses an image that should not have been published
  • Creates a serious and demonstrable risk of harm
  • Contains information that should reasonably no longer be publicly available
  • Raises legitimate copyright or intellectual-property concerns
  • Was published based on information that has subsequently been proven false

Submitting a removal request does not guarantee that content will be removed.

Depending on the circumstances, we may instead:

  • Correct the information
  • Update the article
  • Add clarification or context
  • Replace an image
  • Remove specific information
  • Add a correction notice
  • Remove the article entirely

3. Privacy Concerns

If an article contains personal information that you believe creates a legitimate privacy concern, please explain:

  • What information is involved
  • Where it appears on the website
  • Why you believe it should be removed or changed
  • Any relevant supporting information

We will review legitimate privacy concerns and take appropriate action where warranted.

4. Images & Copyright Concerns

If you believe that an image or other material published on ShockStories infringes your copyright or other intellectual-property rights, please contact us.

Please provide:

  • The URL of the page containing the material
  • A description of the material in question
  • Evidence that you own or represent the relevant rights
  • Your contact information
  • An explanation of the concern

We will review legitimate copyright complaints and may remove, replace, or otherwise address the material where appropriate.

5. False or Misleading Viral Stories

ShockStories sometimes covers stories that have gone viral on social media.

If new evidence shows that a viral claim is false, misleading, exaggerated, or taken out of context, please send us the relevant evidence.

Where appropriate, we may update the article and clearly explain the correction.

Our goal is not simply to repeat what is trending, but to help readers understand what actually happened.

6. Requests From Individuals Featured in Stories

If you are personally mentioned or shown in an article and have concerns about the content, you may contact us.

Please provide enough information for us to confirm the relevant article and understand your concern.

We may request additional information to verify your identity or relationship to the content before taking action.

For privacy and security reasons, we may not act on anonymous requests where we cannot reasonably verify the requester’s connection to the information.

7. How We Review Requests

Each request is reviewed individually.

When assessing a request, we may consider:

  • Accuracy of the information
  • Reliability of the available sources
  • Public interest
  • Whether the information concerns a public or private individual
  • The age and relevance of the information
  • Privacy and safety considerations
  • Copyright and intellectual-property rights
  • Whether correcting the information is more appropriate than removing it
  • Applicable laws and legal obligations

We do not guarantee a particular outcome.

8. We May Request Evidence

To properly investigate a request, we may ask you to provide supporting documentation or reliable sources.

For factual corrections, sources such as official records, court documents, police statements, reputable news organizations, or other credible evidence may be helpful.

9. Contact Us

To submit a Content Removal & Corrections request, email:

admin@shockstories.com

Please use a clear subject line such as:

Correction Request – [Article Title]

or

Content Removal Request – [Article Title]

Including the article URL and a clear explanation of your concern will help us review the request more efficiently.

10. Response Time

We aim to review legitimate requests as soon as reasonably possible.

The time required may vary depending on the complexity of the request, the information provided, and whether additional verification is necessary.

Submitting multiple identical requests will not necessarily speed up the review process.

11. Changes to This Policy

ShockStories may update this Content Removal & Corrections Policy from time to time.

Any changes will be published on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.

We believe that being transparent about corrections is just as important as publishing the story in the first place.
