1. Purpose

This Policy explains how organizers, venues, public agencies, schools, libraries, source owners, and rights holders may request correction, exclusion, or removal of event listings or source materials.

2. Requests to BFU May Consider

2.1 No Guarantee Disclaimer

BuzzForUs does not support public “event claiming” at launch. Organizers, venues, source owners, and rights holders may request correction, removal, or source exclusion. BuzzForUs may require verification through official-domain email, source-page token, robots.txt, DNS TXT record, or other proof. BuzzForUs may temporarily hide disputed events during review. BuzzForUs retains final editorial and moderation control.

2.2 Requests to BFU May Consider

BFU may consider requests to:

correct event date, time, venue, price, age restriction, or cancellation status;
remove an event listing;
remove or replace an image;
remove a source from BFU collection;
blacklist a source URL or domain;
update source attribution or source links;
review suspected impersonation or unauthorized submission.

3. Proof Required

BFU may require proof before acting. Acceptable proof depends the request type, and could be one or more of the followings:

an email from the same official domain as the organizer, venue, school, city, agency, library, or source website;
a requested verification text such as nobfubot placed on the relevant webpage;
a robots.txt instruction or source-owner technical signal;
DNS, domain, or website control evidence;
official documentation reasonably showing authority;
other verification accepted by BFU.

3.1 Proof Examples

Request Type	Proof Examples
Organizer, Venue, or Source Removal, Source URI exclusion, Source Domain Blacklisting Review Impersonation or Unauthorized Submission	Official email, or "nobfubot" in source-page, robots.txt, DNS TXT record, or other solid proof of ownership.
Event Info Correction, or Cancellation	Change should be already reflected on the official source page, or the source uri should be unreachable.
Copyright Claim	Use BFU's Copyright and DMCA Policy.

4. No Guaranteed Timeline

BFU aims to review organizer/source removal requests promptly, but proof, investigation, source checks, and technical work may take additional time.

5. BFU Discretion

BFU may approve, deny, partially grant, or defer requests at its discretion. BFU may remove event listings or sources even without a formal request.

6. Copyright Claims

If your request concerns copyright infringement, use BFU's Copyright and DMCA Policy.
