How review works
Every new listing, and every update to a published one, is read by a person at Kroy before it becomes public.
What a reviewer looks at
- Does the listing match the server? The description and tool list agree with what Kroy's checks found. The server does what the summary says.
- Is it honest? No claims the reviewer can see are false, no fake endorsements, and no borrowing another company's name or brand as though it were the publisher's.
- Is the data-handling statement there and plausible? It says what the server receives, stores and sends, and nothing in the listing contradicts it.
- Do the links work? Repository, website, documentation and support contact.
- Does it follow the listing policy?
The reviewer can see Kroy's check results, the previous version of the listing (for updates), and any open reports.
What "Reviewed" means
Reviewed means a person read this version of the listing, compared it with what the server reports, and found nothing misleading.
It does not mean:
- that Kroy audited the server's code or security;
- that Kroy tested every tool;
- that the server is safe for any particular data;
- that Kroy endorses or supports the server.
Treat it as a sign that the listing is accurate, not as a guarantee about the server. Read the data-handling statement and the ratings, and decide for yourself.
Outcomes
- Approved: the version goes live. For an update, it replaces the previous version.
- Changes requested: the reviewer says what to fix. Edit and submit again; nothing about a live version changes meanwhile.
- Not accepted: the reviewer gives the reason. You can reply to hello@getkroy.com if you think it's wrong.
Reviewers aim to respond within one or two working days. A reviewer never reviews a listing they published themselves.
After publication
- Kroy keeps checking remote servers every six hours. A failing check is shown on the listing; it does not remove it.
- Anyone can report a problem from a listing page. Reviewers read every report and may ask the publisher for changes, or remove a listing that breaks the policy.
- The publisher can unlist their own listing at any time.
