Editorial Policy

Last updated: 2026-04-27. infoz.com publishes calculators, country data, and reference material for international tax, salary, and investing decisions. This page documents the editorial standards that every page on the site is expected to meet.

1. Voice and substance

We aim for practitioner-grade content: direct, specific, numeric, honest about uncertainty. We avoid filler and hedging adverbs. Every guide includes a worked example with real numbers; every calculator shows its arithmetic; every data-driven page cites its sources at point of use.

2. Sourcing

Every fact we publish must trace back to an authoritative source. In order of preference:

1. Primary government sources — IRS, HMRC, ATO, IRAS, CRA publications, central bank releases, official statistics offices.
2. Primary regulatory filings — SEC EDGAR (10-K, 10-Q, DEF 14A, Form 4, 13D/G/F), Companies House annual returns, STOCK Act disclosures.
3. Open knowledge bases — Wikidata for biographical facts, with cross-checks against primary sources for anything consequential.
4. Reputable secondary sources — Tax Foundation, OECD databases, FRED, etc. — used as cross-references, not as the authoritative source itself.

We avoid Wikipedia as a primary source for any consequential claim, and we do not rely on competitor calculators or finance blogs without independent verification.

3. AI usage

We use AI tools at multiple stages of content production. Our public commitment:

What AI is allowed to do

• Outline a guide before drafting.
• Synthesize research from multiple cited sources.
• Produce a first draft that a human then edits substantively.
• Generate code for calculators, schemas, and templates.
• Suggest titles, meta descriptions, and internal links.
• Render programmatic page templates with real source data.

What AI is NOT allowed to do

• Publish final prose without human review.
• Generate “facts” that are not traceable to a primary source.
• Create or impersonate an author byline or photo.
• Produce a quote attributed to a real person.
• Make up a citation or invent a source URL.

Every commit that publishes content includes reviewer initials in the commit message. If reviewer initials are missing, the audit script flags the commit and the page is held back from indexing until reviewed.

4. Authorship

Phase 1 of infoz.com publishes under a collective masthead: the infoz editorial team at ZMedia Global Corp. We do not use AI-generated personas, stock-photo headshots, or fabricated credentials. As we add named hired contributors, each will appear with a real name, real photo, and a verifiable LinkedIn URL on the contributors page (when launched).

5. Corrections

If you spot an error, email corrections@infoz.comor use the “Report inaccuracy” link on entity profile pages. We:

1. Acknowledge receipt within 48 working hours.
2. Verify the issue against primary sources within 7 days.
3. Publish the correction with a dated note at the bottom of the page for material changes.
4. Update the “Last reviewed” date and re-publish the page.

6. Conflicts of interest

Affiliate links and third-party advertising (including Google AdSense) appear on infoz.com. Editorial selection of products, calculators, and sources is independent of advertising. We do not write content intended primarily to drive affiliate clicks. Affiliate disclosure is in our Disclaimer §9.

7. Tax-year and data refresh

Tax brackets, contribution limits, and regulatory thresholds are time-sensitive. Every calculator and country page is explicit about the tax year it covers, and every data-driven page displays a “Last reviewed” date set when a human verified the underlying figures. The full refresh cadence is documented in our Methodology page.

8. People-related content

For any future profile pages on named individuals (executives, politicians), we publish only public-record facts: SEC filings, Companies House entries, STOCK Act disclosures, Wikidata-sourced biographical fields. We do not characterize individuals, do not speculate about motives, and do not publish personal-life information. Every profile page has a “Report inaccuracy” link; non-public-figure right-to-be-forgotten requests are honored within 30 days.

9. Out of scope

infoz.com does not publish content on:

• Cryptocurrencies, NFTs, Web3 protocols, DeFi.
• Gambling, sports betting, adult content.
• Medical, mental-health, or pharmacological advice.
• Celebrity personal life, relationships, or speculative gossip.

These exclusions reflect both regulatory risk and our judgment that we cannot meet our editorial standards in those categories.

10. Updates to this policy

We may update this policy as the site evolves. Material changes will be flagged at the top and the “Last updated” date revised.
