Readers should be able to check where a claim comes from. This page explains how Truearo chooses sources, how we cite them, and the limits we set so that we respect other people’s work.
Source hierarchy
When sources disagree, we give more weight to the ones closest to the facts.
- Primary sources: official documentation, pricing pages, terms of service, changelogs and help centers published by the product’s owner.
- Public records and standards: regulators, standards bodies and public filings, for example W3C for accessibility standards.
- Independent technical documentation: peer-reviewed research and well-maintained technical references.
- Reputable reporting: established publications that name their own sources.
- User reports and forums: used for context only, and never as the sole basis for a factual claim.
How we cite
- We link to the original public page rather than to a copy or a summary of it.
- We name the publisher so you can judge the source yourself.
- For prices, plan limits and other details that change, we point you to the official page and tell you to confirm there before buying.
- We paraphrase in our own words. If we quote, we keep it short and attribute it.
What we do not do
- We do not copy protected article text, and we do not republish another site’s work.
- We do not get around paywalls or access controls.
- We do not hotlink or embed third-party images, video or other media without permission.
- We do not present a company’s marketing claim as an independently measured fact.
- We do not suggest that a company endorses Truearo or that Truearo endorses a company unless a page says so.
Images, logos and screenshots
The illustrations on Truearo are original work made for this site. Company logos appear only to identify the products being discussed, as explained in our Trademark Notice. We use a screenshot only when we have the right to, and we credit the source when one is needed.
