Data Sources, Corrections & Removal

Template — have Canadian counsel review before launch.

1. Where our data comes from

Listings are mirrored from official provincial and federal public registers. We index only objective licensure fields and link back to the source register where possible.

2. Correction protocol

If a field on KYP differs from the official register, submit a correction ticket. We re-check the source register and update our node to match the official record, generally within 48 hours. KYP always defers to the regulator's record.

3. Removal on request

Unlike a public-interest index that refuses deletion, KYP honours removal requests. Any professional may have their KYP listing permanently removed, free of charge, whether or not they ever subscribed. This is a genuine opt-out, not a muting of notifications.

4. Our crawler

Our indexing bot identifies itself honestly, respects robots.txt, rate-limits requests, and runs off-peak. See our bot policy.
