Editorial Policy
Last updated: September 2026
FixTech is an independent technology publication focused on practical solutions to everyday problems involving Android devices, Windows PCs, macOS, browsers, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cloud services, cybersecurity, and AI tools.
Our goal is simple: help readers understand what is happening, identify the likely cause, and find a practical solution they can actually use.
We prioritize useful information over publishing for the sake of publishing.
1. Our Editorial Standards
Every article published on FixTech is expected to be:
- Useful to the reader
- Original and independently written
- Technically responsible
- Clear and understandable
- Relevant to the problem being discussed
- Free from deliberate misinformation
- Written for people trying to solve a real problem
We do not publish content solely to target search-engine keywords or artificially increase page views.
Our articles generally follow a practical problem → possible cause → solution → result approach where appropriate.
2. Accuracy and Fact-Checking
Technology changes quickly, so we make reasonable efforts to ensure that technical information is accurate when published.
Depending on the subject, this may include:
- Checking official documentation
- Comparing information from multiple reliable sources
- Verifying software settings and procedures
- Testing instructions where practical
- Checking compatibility with relevant operating-system or software versions
- Removing or updating information that is no longer accurate
When a solution can vary between devices, operating-system versions, manufacturers, or software releases, we explain those differences rather than presenting one procedure as universally applicable.
We do not guarantee that every solution will work on every device or configuration. Technology problems can have multiple causes, and readers should consider their particular hardware, software, settings, and environment.
3. Practical Testing
When practical, FixTech tests troubleshooting procedures, settings, applications, or workflows before recommending them.
Testing is not always possible for every device, operating-system version, application, or hardware configuration. When we cannot independently test something, we avoid presenting assumptions as confirmed results.
Where appropriate, articles may distinguish between:
- Tested solutions
- Common troubleshooting procedures
- Manufacturer-recommended solutions
- Potential solutions that may depend on the user's configuration
This distinction helps readers understand the level of certainty behind a recommendation.
4. Sources and External Information
We may use information from:
- Official manufacturer documentation
- Software documentation
- Security advisories
- Developer documentation
- Reputable technology publications
- Established technical resources
- First-hand testing and observation
External sources are used to verify or provide additional context, not to replace original editorial work.
When an external source materially supports an important factual claim, we aim to identify or link to the relevant source.
We do not intentionally copy articles, tutorials, or other publishers' work and present it as our own.
5. Originality
FixTech publishes original editorial material.
We may discuss information that is already publicly available, but our articles are independently structured and written. We do not reproduce substantial portions of another publisher's article.
Quoted material, where necessary, is kept limited and appropriately attributed.
6. AI-Assisted Content
FixTech may use artificial intelligence tools to assist with certain parts of the editorial process, including research assistance, brainstorming, outlining, editing, summarization, or drafting.
AI does not replace editorial responsibility.
AI-assisted material is reviewed and edited before publication. Information is evaluated for accuracy, usefulness, originality, context, and relevance.
We do not intentionally publish unverified AI-generated claims simply because an AI system produced them.
Where technical accuracy matters, information is checked against reliable documentation, testing, or other appropriate evidence.
The final published article represents FixTech's editorial judgment, regardless of whether AI tools were used during its preparation.
7. Corrections and Updates
If we discover that an article contains a factual error, outdated instruction, broken procedure, misleading statement, or other significant problem, we may correct or update the article.
Corrections may include:
- Fixing factual errors
- Updating instructions
- Removing obsolete information
- Adding clarification
- Updating software or operating-system references
- Replacing broken or outdated links
For significant errors, we may add a correction or update note to the article.
Readers who identify a possible error are encouraged to contact us so that the information can be reviewed.
8. Software, Apps, and Security Recommendations
Technology recommendations can involve security, privacy, compatibility, cost, or data-loss risks.
We therefore avoid recommending software or procedures solely because they are popular.
When discussing security tools, applications, VPNs, password managers, cloud-storage services, or similar products, we consider factors such as:
- Reputation
- Security practices
- Privacy considerations
- Features
- Compatibility
- Ease of use
- Limitations
- Pricing where relevant
Readers should always obtain software from legitimate sources and review permissions and privacy policies before installation.
FixTech does not encourage bypassing security protections, accessing accounts or devices without authorization, or using technology to harm others.
9. Troubleshooting and Data Safety
Some troubleshooting procedures can result in data loss, configuration changes, account problems, or other unintended consequences.
Where a procedure carries a meaningful risk, we try to explain that risk before recommending it.
Readers should back up important files and information before performing potentially destructive operations such as:
- Factory resets
- Disk formatting
- Partition changes
- Registry modifications
- Major system repairs
- Data-recovery operations
- Removal of system files
FixTech cannot guarantee that a troubleshooting procedure will produce the same result on every device.
10. Product Reviews and Recommendations
When FixTech discusses a product, application, service, or technology, our editorial conclusions are intended to reflect the available evidence, testing, research, and practical usefulness of the product.
We do not promise positive coverage in exchange for payment, free products, affiliate relationships, or other commercial benefits.
A product or service may be recommended only when it is relevant to the reader's problem or needs.
11. Affiliate Disclosure
Some FixTech articles may contain affiliate links.
If a reader purchases a product or service through an affiliate link, FixTech may receive a commission at no additional cost to the reader.
Affiliate relationships do not determine our editorial conclusions.
We may recommend a product even when it does not generate an affiliate commission, and we may choose not to recommend an affiliate product when it is not appropriate for the reader.
Commercial relationships are kept separate from editorial judgment.
12. Advertising
FixTech may display advertising from third-party advertising networks, technology companies, or other commercial partners.
Advertising helps support the operation and maintenance of the publication.
Advertisers do not control our editorial decisions.
Advertising placement does not guarantee favorable coverage, reviews, rankings, recommendations, or search visibility.
We aim to keep advertising clearly distinguishable from editorial content.
13. Sponsored Content
If FixTech publishes sponsored or paid promotional material, we will make reasonable efforts to identify it clearly as sponsored, promoted, or otherwise commercially supported content.
Payment does not automatically result in a positive editorial opinion.
Sponsored material is separate from independent editorial recommendations.
14. Editorial Independence
FixTech maintains editorial independence from advertisers, affiliate partners, software companies, manufacturers, and other commercial relationships.
No commercial relationship gives an outside party the right to determine our editorial conclusions.
Our responsibility is first to the reader.
15. Links and Recommendations
External links may be included when they provide useful documentation, downloads, additional information, or relevant resources.
We may link to official websites when recommending software, services, products, or documentation.
Because websites and services can change, FixTech cannot guarantee that every external link will remain available or unchanged indefinitely.
Readers should verify downloads and services before using them, particularly when dealing with security-sensitive software.
16. Editorial Responsibility
FixTech is published and maintained by Robert Indodi.
Editorial responsibility includes maintaining the publication's standards, reviewing content, correcting significant errors, and making decisions concerning editorial direction.
As FixTech grows, additional contributors, reviewers, or specialists may participate in the production or review of individual articles.
Regardless of who contributes to an article, FixTech remains responsible for maintaining its editorial standards.
17. Reader Feedback
Readers are encouraged to report:
- Factual errors
- Outdated instructions
- Broken links
- Security concerns
- Incorrect technical information
- Missing context
- Problems with recommended procedures
Reader feedback can help us improve existing articles and identify information that needs to be reviewed.
We do not guarantee that every suggestion will result in an editorial change, but legitimate reports are taken seriously.
18. Changes to This Policy
Technology, publishing practices, and FixTech's editorial processes may change over time.
We may update this Editorial Policy when our standards or practices change.
The date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was most recently updated.
Our Commitment
FixTech exists to make technology problems easier to understand and solve.
We believe useful technology journalism should be practical, honest, transparent, and responsible.
We will continue to improve our articles, correct mistakes when they are identified, update outdated information, and maintain a clear separation between editorial judgment and commercial interests.
Our standard is simple: if an article does not genuinely help the reader, it does not meet the standard we want for FixTech.
