How we keep this honest.

Correction & reporting policy

If anything we publish is inaccurate — about you or about someone else — we want to fix it quickly.

If you're our customer

Use Report an issue in your dashboard, or email corrections@lodestar.ref. We acknowledge within one business day and aim to correct verified factual errors within three. You can also withdraw any published claim at any time.

If you're a third party

Believe a Lodestar page contains a false statement of fact about you, or impersonates you? Email disputes@lodestar.ref with the URL and the specific claim. We will review, contact the profile owner where appropriate, and remove or correct content that violates this policy. We honor valid legal requests and platform terms.

What we will not do

We won't publish a correction that is itself false, nor remove accurate, lawful information solely because a third party dislikes it.

Acceptable use

Lodestar exists to make accurate information legible to machines. It must not be used to deceive. You agree not to submit or request:

• Private information about yourself or others that you're not authorized to publish.
• Defamatory, harassing, or knowingly false statements.
• Content that impersonates another person or organization.
• Deceptive or manipulative material — fake reviews, fabricated credentials, sock-puppet corroboration.
• Unlawfully promotional content, or content that violates a platform's terms or your profession's advertising rules.

We may decline, pause, or remove any profile that violates this policy, and we cooperate with lawful requests.

Accuracy & warranties

You provide the facts; we publish and verify them. By submitting content you represent and warrant that:

• The factual claims you submit are accurate, authorized for publication, and not misleading.
• You will not submit private, defamatory, impersonating, deceptive, or unlawfully promotional content.
• If you are subject to professional marketing or advertising rules (e.g. medical, legal, political, financial), you are responsible for your own compliance.

Lodestar publishes and verifies sources but does not operate or control ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, or any search engine, and cannot guarantee that a given model will produce a specific answer. We describe our testing method, and its limits, in the simulation disclaimer.

Privacy

We collect only what we need to build and maintain your profile: your account details, the facts and links you submit, and the results of the model tests we run on your behalf.

• What we publish is only what you authorize for your canonical profile and references.
• What we keep private includes your account data, billing details, and test history — visible to you, not published.
• Your control: export or delete your data at any time. On cancellation we retire your profile and remove your information on a clear schedule.
• We don't sell your personal data.

Terms of service

These plain-language terms summarize the agreement between you and Lodestar for this preview.

The service

Lodestar publishes a canonical profile and supporting references, submits them for indexing, verifies retrievability, and monitors and re-tests on your chosen cadence. Specific features depend on your plan.

Your responsibilities

You're responsible for the accuracy and lawfulness of what you submit, and for compliance with any rules that apply to your profession.

No guarantee of outcomes

We use commercially reasonable efforts to improve how models describe you, but model behavior is outside our control and we make no guarantee of any specific result.

Billing & cancellation

Subscriptions renew until cancelled. Cancel anytime; on cancellation we stop maintenance and retire your profile as described in the Privacy section.

This is demonstration boilerplate and not legal advice. A production launch would replace it with full, reviewed terms.
