Request removal

Correction comes first

Every signal on a listing (hosting region, ownership, sub-processors, CLOUD Act exposure) is drawn from a public source and carries a "checked on" date. If any of it is wrong or out of date, the fastest fix for everyone is a correction, not removal: tell us what is inaccurate and point us at the source, and we update the listing. We do not ask you to "show us why we should keep it." The burden is on us to be accurate, and a sourced claim we cannot stand behind gets corrected. You do not need to be the company to send a correction.

If your concern is a specific assessment rather than a plain factual error, you also have a right of reply on the same page; see the Editorial guidelines → Right of reply section.

Removal, if you would rather not be listed at all

If your company simply does not want to appear on EU Vetted (independently of whether the assessment is accurate), we honour that. We will remove the listing within 14 days of a verified request at the address below. We do not require a reason, and we never refuse or delay removal because a vendor declines to pay for placement. No placement is for sale.

One thing to know before you ask: EU Vetted is a single dataset. A product's profile, its appearances in "alternatives to" comparisons, curated stacks, category pages and the feature matrix are all the same underlying record, so removing the product removes it everywhere at once. There is no way to pull the profile but keep the comparisons. The directory's aggregate findings (for example, how many tools in a category are clear of CLOUD Act exposure) do not depend on any single name and survive a product leaving.

How to request removal

Send an email to removals@euvetted.com with:

• the product name and the URL of the listing you want removed;
• your name and role at the company (owner / founder / legal / marketing / other);
• an email address on the product's own domain so we can verify the request comes from inside the company. Generic free-mail addresses delay the process while we verify identity.

You do not need to give a reason. If you do, it helps us identify whether the underlying concern is something we should also fix elsewhere on the directory (a factual error, a category mismatch, an outdated affiliation).

What happens next

1. Within 3 business days: we acknowledge receipt and confirm identity. If we cannot verify that the request comes from inside the company, we explain why and ask for additional confirmation.
2. Within 14 days from the verified request: the listing is removed. Internal references on related pages (alternative-to comparisons, curated stacks, category pages) are updated in the same window.
3. After removal: the URL serves a 410 Gone (not a 404) so search engines drop the cached page promptly. The slug is reserved; we will not re-list the product without a new explicit request from the company.

For privacy issues (personal data)

If your request is about personal data rather than a company listing (for example, removing your name from a verification note), write to privacy@euvetted.com instead. See the privacy notice for the full set of GDPR rights.
