How we handle unknown information
We label it as unverified, explain why it matters and avoid filling schema, tables or copy with inferred values. A missing version number is preferable to a false one.
Commercial and CTA rule
Promotional links are disabled when a service is unknown or an online money game. Even for a permissible category, a CTA requires verified identity, lawful eligibility and truthful destination wording.
