If your website has been incorrectly categorized as pornographic, you will need to follow these steps to request a re-evaluation and change the category:
Identify the Websites and Services Classifying Yours: Determine which services or databases have flagged your website. Common services include internet security providers, search engines, or web filtering tools.
Collect Supporting Information: Assemble evidence showing that your website content is non-adult and detail what the website actually offers. Include descriptions, screenshots, and any professional reviews or ratings that support your claim.
Contact the Categorization Service: Visit the website of the service or database that has flagged your site. Many of these services have a process for submitting website re-evaluation requests.
Fill Out a Re-Evaluation Request: Locate the section of their website that deals with website classification issues. Often, there will be an online form or an email address you can use. Provide detailed information, the URL of your website, and your supporting documentation.
Explain the Mistake: Clearly articulate that your website has been inaccurately labeled and why it should be categorized differently. Be concise and professional in your explanation.
Follow Up: If you do not receive a response or see a change within a reasonable time, follow up with the service. Be persistent but remain polite and provide additional data if needed.
Keep Records: Record your communications and any confirmations you receive for reference.
By addressing the issue with evidence and professionalism, you enhance the chances of correcting the category assignment.
