Corrections Policy
InspectFL deals with public-record data, live updates, and original editorial analysis. When something is wrong, unclear, or outdated, we want to fix it quickly and transparently.
Correction scope at a glance
If InspectFL displayed, summarized, linked, or interpreted something incorrectly, tell us. If the problem is with the official government inspection record itself, DBPR is the authority that must correct it.
Factual correction
We used the wrong number, date, name, status, link, or description and need to fix the published page.
Clarification
The page may be technically accurate but confusing, incomplete, or too easy to misread without better context.
Source-record update
The underlying DBPR record changed after publication, so the page needs to reflect the newer official data.
Technical bug
A page, filter, link, chart, or page-level data display is broken even if the source record itself is not.
How to request a correction
- Email hello@inspectfl.org or use the contact form with the restaurant name, page URL, and a short description of the issue.
- If possible, include the DBPR link, inspection date, license number, or screenshot that shows the mismatch.
- We review the issue against the underlying public record and the live page behavior.
- If the issue is on our side, we update the page and note the correction when appropriate.
- If the issue is in the official state record, we may clarify that on our side, but the source correction has to come from DBPR.
What helps us fix it faster
- The exact page URL on InspectFL
- Restaurant name and city
- License number or inspection date if you have it
- A short explanation of what looks wrong
- A DBPR link or screenshot when available
When we correct vs. clarify
We issue a correction when the published information is materially wrong: the wrong restaurant, wrong link, wrong number, wrong interpretation of the record, or a broken data display.
We issue a clarification when the page could mislead readers because context is missing, wording is too broad, or a source distinction is not obvious enough.
Important boundary
InspectFL can correct our own pages. We cannot rewrite or erase the official government record.
If your concern is that a DBPR inspection, disposition, or establishment record is wrong at the source, the source correction must happen with DBPR first. Once the public record changes, we can update our side.
Correction log
This page also serves as the home for future public correction notes when a change needs visible disclosure. Smaller technical fixes may be handled silently, but material factual changes can be logged here with the date, affected page, and what changed.
To report an issue now, email hello@inspectfl.org or use the contact page.
