Removal request.
A free, auditable route to request review and removal of a business listing.
Anyone with a legitimate connection to a listing may request review of its removal. The route is free and is not linked to purchasing A.C.E Tailored services.
The review considers:
- the requester's relationship and authority;
- accuracy and current trading status;
- privacy and safety impact, particularly for sole traders and home-based businesses;
- any objection to processing and the approved legitimate-interests assessment;
- whether correction, address minimisation or temporary unpublication is a fairer outcome;
- evidence of fraud, impersonation, duplication or conflicting claims.
Where continued publication creates an avoidable material risk, the listing or disputed field should be temporarily unpublished while the matter is reviewed. Only necessary decision evidence is retained. Complex rights objections, threats, defamation allegations or identity disputes are escalated for specialist legal review.
