Legal / suppression log

Suppression transparency.

Fonteum never deletes or mutates source snapshots. Suppression records are append-only and only change the presentation layer for public web, API, or search-index scope.

Reason codes

Reason code	Meaning	Granted	Refused
`source_authority_suppressed`	Originating authority suppressed the field or annulled the designation ab initio	0	0
`court_or_authority_order`	Court or competent authority ordered withholding	0	0
`attested_safety_risk`	Attested safety risk matching the source registry's own criteria	0	0
`demonstrable_factual_error`	Demonstrable factual error pending correction display	0	0

What is not a suppression reason

Fonteum does not suppress a historical designation merely because a person or entity was later delisted and wants the history gone. The historical designation remains in the archive and is marked ended with the end date and delisting instrument.

Display rule

A withheld field renders as [withheld — see suppression policy] with a reason code. The archive hash chain remains byte-immutable; Fonteum can still attest that a field existed and what its hash was.

Request route

Submit a suppression-review request through /legal/data-requests. If the originating authority controls the correction, Fonteum will route you there first.

Integrated, with-data, and fresh-observation counts are separate. No platform-wide source-completeness count is published. Completeness is source-specific and must be evaluated against the named source's expected scope. State coverage is a separate jurisdiction measure.

Source authority is record-specific

Use the issuer named on the record.

Fonteum spans federal, state, and global public publishers. A source page or returned record identifies its issuer and dataset where that metadata is available. A platform registry count does not assign every page to one authority or establish loaded, fresh, or complete coverage.

Reproducible by design

Inspect the evidence each published figure actually supplies.

Source and date

Research pages expose the named public file and observation date where those fields are available. Source-file SHA-256 coverage is separate; facts do not currently link deterministically to signatures.

Available derivation

Studies with a retained release and committed derivation link the SQL or method used. Other studies state the evidence and reproduction limits they actually have.

Daily observations

Dated table row-count observations can detect local drift. They do not imply that an upstream publisher released or Fonteum ingested new data that day.
