/legal/editorial-policy

This policy applies to Jivaro-operated services that link to it. A product, store, service, or venture policy controls when it addresses the same subject more specifically.

Source hierarchy and verification

Primary sources—official documentation, direct records, company filings, original datasets, standards, and first-party statements—are preferred for claims they can support. Reliable secondary reporting may add context, independent verification, or competing interpretations.

A link is not proof by itself. Sources are assessed for relevance, publication date, methodology, authority, conflicts, and whether the cited passage actually supports the claim.

  • Direct quotations are checked against the source and kept within appropriate quotation limits.
  • Rumor, prediction, sponsored claims, and inference are labeled rather than written as established fact.
  • Publication and event dates are distinguished when timing matters.

News, guides, and product coverage

News pages should identify what happened, when it happened, the evidence available, and what remains unknown. Guides should explain assumptions, prerequisites, limitations, and safe use. Reviews should distinguish direct observation from specifications, marketing material, and opinion.

First-party Jivaro release notes and company announcements are labeled so readers do not mistake them for independent coverage.

Independence, conflicts, and commercial content

Material ownership, affiliate, sponsorship, free-access, or review-unit relationships are disclosed close to the relevant recommendation. Commercial relationships do not entitle a party to factual claims, favorable conclusions, advance approval of independent coverage, or the concealment of limitations.

Writers and reviewers should disclose conflicts that a reasonable reader would consider relevant. Advertising and editorial presentation remain visually and operationally distinguishable.

AI assistance, corrections, and maintenance

AI may assist under the AI Use Policy, but it is not treated as a source and does not replace human responsibility. Material claims, citations, code, and product details are reviewed in proportion to risk.

Pages may be updated as products, sources, and circumstances change. Material errors follow the Corrections Policy. Review dates and source lists are used where continuing accuracy is especially important.

Contact and updates

Questions about this policy can be sent through the official contact form. Security reports and corrections should use their dedicated categories. Jivaro may update this policy prospectively when operations, law, or services change; the effective and review dates identify the published version.
