Code of Ethics

At The Everyday Scroll, we cover technology, finance, security, lifestyle, and more—and we take our responsibility to our readers seriously. This Code of Ethics outlines the principles that guide how we research, write, and publish content.

1. Accuracy and Fact-Checking

We are committed to publishing accurate, well-researched content. We:

  • Verify facts, statistics, and claims before publication using reliable, credible sources
  • Correct errors promptly and transparently once identified
  • Clearly distinguish between factual reporting, analysis, opinion, and sponsored content
  • Maintain detailed source documentation for editorial review and reader verification

2. Editorial Independence

Our editorial content is created independently of advertisers, sponsors, and affiliate partners. Business relationships—whether financial, affiliate, or promotional—never determine what we choose to cover, how we cover it, or editorial priority. We make content decisions based solely on reader value and relevance.

3. Transparency in Advertising and Affiliate Links

  • We may earn a commission from affiliate links included in our content, at no extra cost to you
  • Sponsored posts, paid partnerships, guest posts, and affiliate content will always be clearly labeled as such
  • Product recommendations are based on genuine research, testing where possible, and editorial merit—not solely on commercial arrangements
  • We do not accept payment in exchange for positive or guaranteed coverage

4. AI and Content Creation Transparency

We use AI tools (including large language models) as writing assistants to help with drafting, research support, and editing. However:

  • All content is human-researched and fact-checked before publication
  • All content is edited and approved by our editorial team before going live
  • We do not publish fully AI-generated content without clear human review and verification
  • When AI tools are used significantly in content creation, we disclose this in the byline or article metadata
  • Our AI use complies with platform guidelines and ethical standards for content creation

5. Financial Content Standards

Content in our Finance category is intended for general informational and educational purposes only.

  • It should not be interpreted as personalized financial, investment, tax, or legal advice
  • We do not recommend specific securities, investment products, or trading strategies for individual investors
  • We encourage readers to consult a qualified financial advisor, tax professional, or attorney before making financial or investment decisions
  • We do not accept compensation, sponsorships, or affiliate fees in exchange for guaranteed positive or promotional coverage of financial products or services
  • Past performance mentioned in our content is not indicative of future results

6. Health, Beauty & Wellness Content Standards

For health, beauty, and wellness content, we:

  • Do not provide medical diagnosis, treatment recommendations, or professional medical advice
  • Do not make health or medical claims without support from peer-reviewed research or credible medical organizations
  • Clearly recommend that readers consult a licensed physician, dermatologist, mental health professional, or relevant healthcare provider for personal health concerns
  • Disclose when products are provided free of charge by brands for review purposes
  • Avoid promoting unproven remedies or making disease prevention claims without scientific evidence
  • Present health information in context and avoid sensationalism

Nothing on The Everyday Scroll is a substitute for professional medical, mental health, or dermatological advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider for personal health concerns.

7. Plagiarism and Attribution

We do not tolerate plagiarism. We are committed to original reporting and analysis:

  • All external sources, data, statistics, images, and direct quotes are properly credited
  • Original research, reporting, and ideas from other publications are always attributed with a direct link to the source
  • We respect copyright and intellectual property rights
  • When we build on existing reporting, we clearly indicate what is original analysis versus referenced material

8. Corrections Policy

If we publish an error of fact, we will:

  • Correct it as soon as possible after verification
  • Add a visible correction note to the article when the error is substantial or could affect reader decisions
  • Avoid quietly editing content in ways that alter the original meaning without disclosure
  • Notify readers who subscribed to or engaged significantly with the article when corrections address major factual errors

9. Ad Quality and Practices

  • We partner with reputable ad networks (including Google AdSense and premium networks like Mediavine) to monetize our content
  • We maintain editorial control over our content and do not allow advertisers to influence editorial decisions
  • We reserve the right to refuse ads that we believe are misleading, harmful, or inconsistent with our values
  • Readers can report problematic advertisements to us directly
  • We comply with platform guidelines regarding ad disclosure, data privacy, and user experience

10. Respect and Inclusivity

We are committed to producing content that is respectful, inclusive, and free from discrimination based on race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, disability, age, nationality, or other characteristics. We do not tolerate hate speech, harassment, or discriminatory language in our content or in reader comments.

11. Reader Trust and Transparency

We value the trust our readers place in us. Our commitment:

  • We will never knowingly publish misleading headlines, manipulated images, or fabricated content
  • We avoid sensationalism and clickbait, even when it might drive traffic
  • We are transparent about our business model and how we make revenue
  • Our goal is to inform and empower readers, not to mislead for clicks or engagement
  • We welcome feedback and take reader concerns about our coverage seriously
