Editorial policy & transparency

Readers should know how our content is made and paid for. This page sets out our standards.

Editorial standards

Articles are researched from primary and official sources where possible, written to be useful first, and edited for accuracy and clarity. We separate facts from opinion.

Sources and fact-checking

Numbers, names, dates and rules are checked against official or authoritative sources before publication, and we revisit articles when facts change. Each article shows when it was last updated.

Corrections

When we get something wrong, we correct it promptly and note significant changes on the article. Report errors through our contact page.

Advertising and sponsored content

Display advertising is placed separately from editorial content and labelled. Sponsored content is always marked “Sponsored”, and sponsors do not control our editorial opinion or guarantee positive coverage.

Affiliate links

If we earn a commission from a link, we say so near the link. This never changes what we recommend.

Ownership and funding

IAguidetool is published by Digitalmedia and is funded by advertising, sponsorships and reader support. See Advertise for partnership options.
