Editorial Policy — Purple Mangos

Independence

Purple Mangos chooses what to cover and what conclusions to publish. A free sample, sponsorship, or affiliate relationship does not purchase a favorable opinion. Commercial relationships are labeled clearly.

Four evidence labels

We distinguish sourced research, real-product demonstration, hands-on review, and advertisement. We do not present a research summary as personal experience or an advertisement as independent editorial.

AI-generated media

We disclose AI-generated or materially AI-altered visuals when a reasonable viewer could mistake them for a real person, place, product behavior, or result. Synthetic media may illustrate a concept; it may not impersonate customer evidence, a testimonial, a product test, or a before-and-after result.

Product claims

Claims must trace to a named source such as the product label, manufacturer documentation, retailer listing, or credible third-party research. We separate what a source says from what we observed. Health and performance claims receive extra scrutiny.

Affiliate links

Some future links may earn Purple Mangos a commission at no additional cost to the reader. The presence or size of a commission does not determine the editorial conclusion. Affiliate disclosures appear before or near recommendation content as well as in the site footer.

Corrections

Material factual errors are corrected promptly and identified with a dated note. Readers can report a concern through the contact page.
