XTHE functions as a standalone technology news and information source as well as a site that serves as a marketplace for technology goods and services. Advertising and transaction-based revenues are the main sources of revenue for XTHE, but our partners such as advertisers, transaction partners, and investors do not influence our editorial content, the stories we write (or don’t write), or our reviews and product scores.
Our trustworthiness is not compromised by commercial relationships. The editorial team will not write favorable reviews or coverage because of commercial arrangements, and the listing of products or services does not constitute endorsement by XTHE or the editorial team. ‘Sponsored’ labeled content is the only material subject to partner review prior to publication; all other editorial content is written and published independently.
When writing about products which are only sold on XTHE, or when writing about subject matter that can have a direct impact on buying, such content will be accompanied by an open disclosure stating any possible conflict of interest. This is in order to maintain openness for our readers and enable them to make their own decisions.
Our articles can include affiliate links, which cause XTHE to receive a commission when users purchase through such links. However, such affiliations do not affect the editorial team’s choices to select items, applications, or services to be displayed.
Editorial integrity is the cornerstone of our platform. Our staff members are barred from participating in unethical practices, such as the solicitation of gifts or review units for personal consumption, monetary payments from featured companies, or advisory positions in any firms included in our reporting. Editorial staff engaged in editorial activities are kept isolated from any business development, ad selling, or transactional functions on XTHE.
If there are XTHE’s parent company’s investors, whatever content about them and their related brands will have a notification of an incurring conflict of interest, with complete transparency to our audience. Editorial sense is applied to all stories and businesses in an equal manner without exceptions.
This policy protects our dedication to professionalism, equity, and objectivity in all technology news and reviews, upholding readers’ and customers’ trust.
