What HearFinder commits to
Consistent evidence rules, visible uncertainty, correction pathways, source accountability, and no paid placement in verification or search ranking.
Verification and neutrality
Trust comes from evidence, transparency, and easy correction.
HearFinder separates factual verification from commercial relationships so listeners can understand what is confirmed, what is community-reported, and what is still unknown.
What contributors commit to
Accurate claims, lawful evidence sharing, declared ownership, prompt corrections, and no attempt to disguise promotion as verification.
Why participate
The rules behind a trustworthy directory.
Evidence before status
Technology and access details receive a status only when the supporting evidence meets the applicable review rule.
Unknown stays unknown
Missing information is not filled with assumptions. Listings can show that a fact still needs confirmation.
Payment does not buy rank
Commercial participation cannot purchase verification, suppress corrections, or change organic directory ranking.
Corrections remain open
Listeners, venues, and partners can report issues; material changes are reviewed and recorded.
Activation evidence
Verified describes evidence—not endorsement.
A verified record means specified fields passed HearFinder's evidence process at a point in time. It does not guarantee service availability, staff readiness, device compatibility, or a successful experience on every visit.
