Editorial purpose and accountability
RinTrade helps readers examine brokers without collapsing evidence, commercial relationships, and editorial judgement into one opaque recommendation. The named author or editor remains responsible for the public page, including work assisted by software or AI tools.
The publication standard is accuracy with visible limits—not certainty where the evidence does not justify it.
Facts, analysis, and opinion
A broker fact should be traceable to suitable evidence. A calculation should state its inputs and rule. An editorial judgement should be recognisable as analysis rather than presented as an official broker fact.
When those categories overlap, the page should explain the basis of the conclusion and avoid language that is stronger than the evidence.
Source and citation standards
Regulator records, legal documents, official broker material, and first-hand test data are preferred for claims they directly support. Secondary sources can add context or identify questions, but they do not automatically verify a high-risk broker claim.
Copied articles, search snippets, affiliate marketing copy, and AI output are not treated as factual evidence. Source records include a checked date, and high-change facts must be rechecked when the underlying source or product changes.
How AI may assist the work
AI tools may assist with organising research, drafting, translation, or technical work. AI output is not treated as evidence and cannot approve a page for publication. Broker facts still require source-backed verification, and responsibility for the published page remains with the named author or editor.
AI-assisted copy must pass the same checks as manually drafted copy. It must not invent a broker fact, score, source, test result, credential, or first-hand experience.
Affiliate relationships and sponsored content
RinTrade may receive compensation from a broker when a reader follows an eligible affiliate link and completes a qualifying action. Compensation supports the work but is not an evidence source and does not change the methodology, account tested, measurement, or data-driven order.
Affiliate links are marked for search engines and accompanied by reader-facing disclosure. A commercial partner cannot buy a favourable conclusion or prevent a supported criticism. Any sponsored placement, if used, must be clearly labelled and kept separate from editorial ranking logic.
Corrections and material updates
When RinTrade confirms a factual error, we correct the reusable source record and every affected public page where practical. A material correction should be explained on the page or reflected in a clearly updated date; a cosmetic edit does not need a correction notice.
A useful correction report identifies the page, the disputed wording or value, and the strongest available source. Send it through the Contact page, and do not include broker passwords, identity documents, or account credentials.
Broker right of reply
A broker may point out a factual error, provide a more current official source, or explain the entity and product scope that applies. RinTrade reviews the evidence and corrects supported errors.
A reply does not give a broker editorial approval, a guaranteed change, removal of accurate criticism, or access to unpublished research.
Conflicts of interest
Material personal, financial, employment, or commercial relationships that could reasonably affect how readers interpret a conclusion should be disclosed. If a conflict cannot be managed transparently, the affected work should not be published as an independent editorial conclusion.
Page dates and revision transparency
Public-facing dates use a central display format, while machine-readable values remain ISO 8601. A page's updated date should reflect a meaningful content, evidence, or methodology review—not a purely automated republish.
