Corrections & Updates Policy
Cybercode.ph corrects material errors and updates guides when laws, regulations, agency procedures, court decisions, official advisories or important technical facts change.
Technology law, cybersecurity, privacy and AI governance can change quickly. A page that was accurate when published can become incomplete or outdated after a new Republic Act, Supreme Court decision, National Privacy Commission issuance, DTI guideline, BIR circular, agency complaint process or legislative development.
What Counts as a Material Correction?
A material correction is a change that could affect how a reasonable reader understands the law, risk, procedure, deadline, requirement or recommended next step.
- An incorrect legal requirement, penalty, deadline or agency jurisdiction
- A bill incorrectly described as enacted law
- An outdated complaint, reporting or application procedure
- A significant misstatement of a Supreme Court ruling or regulatory issuance
- A source that has been superseded or materially amended
- A technical recommendation that has become unsafe or materially outdated
Minor Edits
Spelling, formatting, broken links, clearer wording, image changes and other non-substantive edits may be corrected without a separate correction notice. These changes do not necessarily reset an article’s materially reviewed date.
Materially Reviewed Dates
For subjects that can change, Cybercode may display a Last materially reviewed date. This date is intended to indicate when the substance of the guide was checked, not simply when WordPress recorded a small edit.
When We Update Content
We may review or update a guide when:
- a law is enacted, amended or repealed;
- a Supreme Court ruling materially changes or clarifies an issue;
- an NPC, DTI, DICT, BIR, DOJ, CICC or other government issuance changes;
- a government reporting portal, form, fee, contact channel or procedure changes;
- a pending bill advances, is substituted, enacted, vetoed or otherwise changes status;
- new authoritative information shows that an earlier explanation is incomplete or inaccurate.
How We Handle Conflicting Official Guidance
When official sources conflict, Cybercode aims to identify the inconsistency rather than hide it. We may explain both positions, identify which source appears newer or more authoritative, and avoid a definitive conclusion where the available official material does not support one.
Correction Notes
For significant factual or legal corrections, we may add an editorial note explaining what changed. For routine updates caused by new rules or procedures, the updated text and materially reviewed date may be sufficient.
Archived and Superseded Information
Older material may sometimes remain useful for historical context. When practical, we identify that a rule or issuance has been superseded and direct readers to the current authority instead of silently presenting historical guidance as current.
How to Report an Error
If you believe a Cybercode page contains a material error or outdated official information, please contact us through the Contact page. Helpful reports include the page URL, the statement you believe needs review and, where possible, a link to the official source supporting the correction.
