Editorial Policy

Last Updated: September 3, 2025

At TechDealReview, we aim to publish fair, transparent, and useful content about consumer tech, deals, and smart home gear. Here’s how we work.

1) Independence and nonpartisan approach

We operate independently. We do not endorse political parties or agendas. Our goal is to give clear, fact-based information that helps you make better buying decisions. If we get something wrong, we correct it.

2) Evidence-first content

Accuracy comes first. We rely on hands-on testing, repeatable checks, primary sources, and reputable research. We link to original studies, release notes, and documentation when it helps you verify claims. We do not use anonymous or unverified sources to support product claims.

3) How we review and recommend

  • Hands-on testing: We focus on real-world use, not just specs.
  • Comparable metrics: When possible, we use the same tests across similar products.
  • Price context: We track pricing history and value, not just MSRP.
  • Updates: If a product changes through firmware or a new model replaces it, we revisit and update our guidance.

4) Transparency

We explain why a product is (or isn’t) a pick, what trade-offs exist, and who it’s for. We avoid jargon and show our sources so you can evaluate the reasoning.

5) Use of AI in our workflow

AI tools may assist with outlines, drafts, or data cleanup. Every AI-assisted piece is edited and fact-checked by our editorial team before publication. Final decisions are made by humans.

6) Advertising, affiliate links, and sponsorships

  • No pay-for-play in reviews. Advertisers and partners do not control our picks or conclusions.
  • Affiliate links: If you buy through our links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This supports our work and does not affect our recommendations.
  • Sponsored content: If we publish a sponsored post, it will be clearly labeled as “Sponsored” or “Paid Partnership.”

7) Google AdSense and safe browsing

We follow Google AdSense policies. We avoid deceptive practices, misleading claims, and unsafe links. We aim for a secure, trustworthy reading experience.

8) Product samples and conflicts of interest

We buy many products ourselves. At times we may receive loaner units from manufacturers or PR firms. Acceptance of a sample never guarantees coverage or a positive review. We do not allow pre-publication approval. If a material connection exists, we disclose it.

9) Corrections and updates

If you spot an error, tell us and we’ll review it quickly. Substantive corrections are noted on the page with what changed and why. See our Corrections Policy for details.

10) Policy changes

We may update this Editorial Policy. The “Last Updated” date shows when changes were made. Your continued use of the site means you accept the revised policy.
