Our Mission
Scan Insider exists to give readers accurate, easy-to-read answers about the spouses, former partners, children and relatives of public figures. Accuracy comes before speed, and respect for the people we write about comes before traffic.
Sourcing Standards
Every factual claim in an article should be supported by at least one reliable source. In order of preference we use:
- Statements made on the record by the public figure, their family or their official representatives.
- Official records and documents that are publicly available.
- Reputable news organisations with established editorial standards.
- Well-maintained reference sources, which we treat as a starting point and verify elsewhere when possible.
We do not treat anonymous social media posts, fan forums, unverified tabloid reports or AI-generated text as sources. If a detail is widely repeated but cannot be confirmed, we either leave it out or clearly describe it as unconfirmed.
Fact-Checking Process
Before an article is published, the Editorial Team checks names and spellings, dates of birth, marriage and divorce, the number and names of children, and how relatives are connected. Numbers such as ages and years together are calculated from verified dates rather than copied from other sites. We add links to key sources so readers can see where the information came from. We never invent quotes, statistics or personal details.
Writing About Minors and Private Relatives
Children of public figures did not choose fame. When we write about minors we follow strict rules:
- We only include information that has already been shared publicly by the family or reported by reputable outlets.
- We do not publish a minor’s school, home address, location, ethnicity or physical descriptions such as eye or hair colour.
- We do not use photos of minors taken without the family’s consent in private settings.
- We give the same care to private adult relatives who are not public figures themselves.
If a family member or their representative asks us to remove private details, we review the request promptly and generally remove information that does not serve a clear public interest.
Corrections and Updates
We make mistakes rarely, but when we do we fix them quickly. If you believe something on Scan Insider is wrong, please contact us with the page link and, ideally, a reliable source. We review every correction request. Significant corrections are made as soon as they are verified, and articles are updated when public facts change, for example after a new marriage, separation or birth announcement.
Independence, Advertising and Affiliate Links
Our editorial decisions are made independently. Advertisers and partners do not choose our topics or review articles before publication. Scan Insider may display advertising and may include affiliate links in the future; any such links will be disclosed and will never change the facts we report. Read more in our Disclaimer.
Images
We use images that we have the right to publish, such as photos released under Creative Commons or similar licences, with credit where required. Images are chosen to identify the person discussed, not to sensationalise.
