Adverse media database corrections
If you have been wrongly flagged in a screening database such as World-Check, Dow Jones Risk and Compliance or LexisNexis, we help you challenge and correct inaccurate or outdated entries through your data-protection rights.
Screening databases are not ordinary web pages, which is exactly why they are so damaging and so hard to deal with alone. Services like World-Check, Dow Jones Risk and Compliance and LexisNexis compile adverse media and politically exposed person profiles that banks and compliance teams check before onboarding a client. A wrong or outdated entry can get you quietly de-banked or refused, with no explanation given.
Why these entries are different
You will not find your database profile by searching Google, and you cannot edit it. The entry is sold to institutions, not published openly, so the usual takedown routes do not apply. What does apply is your right, under data-protection law, to see the data held about you and to have inaccurate or outdated information corrected or erased.
How we challenge an entry
We help you exercise data-subject access rights to find out what each database holds, then build a documented case that an entry is inaccurate, outdated, disproportionate or based on a source that has since been corrected or retracted. We submit the challenge through the provider's own data-protection process and escalate where needed.
Honest scope
Where an entry reflects a genuine, current and accurate matter, it may not be removable, and we will tell you so. But inaccurate, stale or unfair entries are often correctable, and the difference to your banking and business relationships can be significant.
Common questions
Can you remove me from World-Check, Dow Jones or other screening databases?
These adverse media and PEP screening databases, such as World-Check, Dow Jones Risk and Compliance and LexisNexis, are not public web pages, so they are handled differently. Where an entry about you is inaccurate, outdated or unfair, we help you challenge and correct it through data-protection and data-subject rights.
How would I even know I am listed?
Often the first sign is being refused or de-banked without explanation. We help you exercise data-subject access rights to find out what each database actually holds about you.
Can every entry be removed?
No. An accurate, current entry may stand. But inaccurate, outdated or disproportionate entries can often be corrected or erased through your data-protection rights.
