Fact Checking Policy

Last updated: August 20, 2025

At DrivenDevice.com, accuracy is at the heart of our mission. We are committed to delivering trustworthy, reliable, and well-sourced technology news that our readers can depend on. Our fact-checking process is designed to meet the highest standards of journalism ethics, global best practices, and Google Publisher policies.

We believe that factual integrity builds credibility. Every claim, statistic, and statement published on our platform goes through a structured editorial workflow to ensure truth, clarity, and fairness.

Our Editorial Philosophy

Accuracy is not just about avoiding mistakes — it is about being complete, transparent, and contextually fair. We strive to:

• Verify every fact and avoid assumptions.
• Clearly separate news reporting from opinions, analysis, or commentary.
• Provide proper context, so facts are not misleading.
• Continuously update articles as new information becomes available.

Fact-Checking Process

1. Source Validation
   • We prioritize primary sources: official press releases, government records, court documents, and direct company statements.
   • When using third-party information, we only rely on established, credible outlets, peer-reviewed research, or recognized experts.
   • Anonymous or unverifiable sources are avoided unless crucial, and their use is clearly disclosed.
2. Claim Verification
   • All material facts (names, dates, product specifications, statistics, quotes) are cross-checked before publication.
   • Allegations or statements by public figures, corporations, or institutions are independently verified before inclusion.
   • If verification is not possible, we provide proper attribution and context instead of presenting it as fact.
3. No Plagiarism or Fabrication
   • Our writers and editors are strictly prohibited from copying or fabricating any content, quotes, or data.
   • AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Grammarly) may assist in drafting or research, but all outputs undergo manual editorial review and verification by human editors.
   • We do not publish auto-generated content without human oversight.
4. Multi-Layer Review
   • Articles go through multiple levels of editorial review depending on complexity.
   • Sensitive or high-impact stories involving legal, political, financial, or health-related matters are escalated to senior editors for additional verification.

What “Due Accuracy” Means to Us

“Due accuracy” means being as accurate as reasonably possible given the nature of the content:

• Breaking news may initially rely on early reports, but we update quickly as verified details emerge.
• In-depth features are reviewed with extra care, including additional citations, fact-checking, and expert input.

Handling Errors & Corrections

Mistakes can happen, but we take them seriously.

• If you spot an error, please email us at [email protected] with the subject line: Correction Request.
• Include:
  • The article URL
  • A description of the issue
  • Any supporting evidence or sources
• All requests are reviewed within 48 hours.
• If an error is confirmed, we update the content promptly and include a transparent correction notice at the bottom of the article.

Fairness in Attribution

• Quotes are presented accurately and in context.
• We avoid misrepresenting any individual, organization, or brand.
• When reporting controversies, we strive to include all relevant viewpoints for balance and fairness.

Fact-Checking on Social Media

If inaccurate or misleading content appears on our official social channels:

• We will correct, delete, or replace the post where possible.
• If deletion is not an option, we issue a follow-up correction with clarified information.

Commitment to Google Publisher & Global Standards

DrivenDevice.com complies with Google Publisher Center, Google News, and Discover policies, as well as international standards of ethical journalism.

We pledge to:

• Maintain transparent bylines, author profiles, and editorial contact details.
• Clearly label news, reviews, sponsored posts, and opinion pieces.
• Avoid clickbait headlines, misleading meta tags, or deceptive imagery.
• Preserve full editorial independence. Advertisers and sponsors have no influence on our news reporting.

Continuous Improvement

Fact-checking is an ongoing responsibility. We routinely review our editorial standards, adopt industry best practices, and seek feedback from:

• Readers
• Independent fact-checking organizations
• Industry peers and journalism bodies

This ensures we continuously evolve to uphold the highest standard of factual accuracy.
