We expect to update and polish online content after its initial publication to reflect the latest statistics available and correct any stylistic errors. We do not edit social media posts outside of a reasonable timeframe and will not flag every change for followers; however, we will add an appropriate acknowledgment of correction if new information has revealed a significant error in an earlier version of our content. The Foundation strives to correct any errors as quickly as possible and will take appropriate steps to rectify the situation on our website and on any social media channels where we reference the materials.
