Our Editorial Principles

ViewGates is dedicated to providing honest, fair and accurate assessments and rankings of companies. Our editorial policy ensures that all information on the platform meets strict standards for honesty, transparency and independence.

Editorial Policy

Editorial Independence

The editorial team at ViewGates creates all platform content independently.

Our approach includes:

  • Businesses cannot pay to change reviews or rankings.
  • Editorial decisions are not influenced by commercial relationships.
  • Any sponsored content is clearly and prominently labeled.

Rankings are based on evaluation results and defined criteria, not on business interests.

Content Creation Process

Editorial content is developed through a structured process that includes:

  • Research into companies, industries and market context.
  • Verification of information using trustworthy sources.
  • Application of ViewGates’ published evaluation methodology.
  • Quality checks and internal editorial review before publication.

This process ensures coverage is consistent and fair across all industries.

Use of Data & Sources

Evaluations rely on a combination of:

  • Publicly available company information.
  • Industry reports and professional publications.
  • Verified data from reputable third‑party providers.
  • User input, where applicable and validated.

Data is reviewed for accuracy and usefulness before it is included in editorial content.

Review & Ranking Criteria

Company reviews and rankings are built on standardized evaluation parameters, such as:

  • Product or service quality.
  • Customer support and reliability.
  • Pricing transparency and value for money.
  • Market presence and reputation.
  • Expert and editorial assessment.

Detailed criteria are described in full on the Methodology page.

Sponsored Content & Advertising

ViewGates may display sponsored listings or advertisements to support the platform.

  • Sponsored placements are clearly identified as advertising.
  • Sponsorship does not affect ranking scores or editorial evaluations.
  • Editorial and advertising functions remain separated.

User‑Generated Content

User reviews and feedback are welcomed and moderated to protect the integrity of the platform.

  • Reviews are checked for spam, abuse and misleading information.
  • Content that is fraudulent or clearly inaccurate may be removed.
  • Moderation follows the public Review Guidelines.

ViewGates may edit or remove user content that does not comply with site guidelines or legal requirements.

Content Updates & Corrections

ViewGates aims to keep content current and accurate.

  • Rankings and pages are reviewed and updated periodically.
  • Users and companies can report inaccuracies.
  • Corrections are applied after verification of the underlying information.

Conflict of Interest

To protect impartiality, editorial team members are required to:

  • Disclose any potential conflicts of interest.
  • Not evaluate or rank companies where a conflict exists.
  • Follow the organization’s internal ethics and conduct guidelines.

These safeguards help keep coverage fair and trustworthy.

Legal & Compliance

All editorial content is intended to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

ViewGates content is provided for informational purposes only and should not be taken as financial, legal or professional advice.
