Fact-Checking Policy

Driving Tech. Delivering Impact.

At TechDrivers, accuracy and reliability are central to our editorial work. Our readers rely on us for technology news, product information, reviews, practical guides and stories that can influence their decisions.

This Fact-Checking Policy explains how we verify information before publication and how we handle factual errors when they are identified.

Our Commitment to Accuracy

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that information published on TechDrivers is accurate, relevant and presented in the appropriate context.

Technology information can change quickly. Product prices, specifications, software features, network coverage, company announcements, regulations and product availability may change after an article has been published.

When significant information changes, we aim to update relevant articles where appropriate.

How We Verify Information

Depending on the nature of a story, our editorial team may verify information using:

• Official company websites and announcements
• Manufacturer product pages and specifications
• Government and regulatory sources
• Telecommunications operators
• Company statements and press releases
• Interviews and direct communications
• Original documents and reports
• Reputable news organisations
• Industry sources
• First-hand testing where applicable

For important factual claims, we aim to use reliable primary sources whenever they are available.

Technology Product Information

When covering smartphones, laptops, gadgets, software, vehicles and other technology products, we may verify specifications against manufacturer information and other reliable sources.

Product specifications can differ between countries, regions, models and configurations. Where relevant, we aim to identify the specific model, market or configuration being discussed.

Prices and Availability

Technology prices and availability can change frequently.

When publishing prices, we aim to provide appropriate market, retailer or location context where available.

Prices mentioned in an article may change after publication. For products and services in Kenya, readers should confirm current pricing and availability with the relevant manufacturer, retailer or service provider before making a purchase.

Developing and Breaking News

News can develop rapidly, and initial information may be incomplete.

When reporting on developing stories, we aim to distinguish between:

• Confirmed information
• Statements from official sources
• Information reported by credible sources
• Claims that have not yet been independently verified

We avoid presenting speculation or unverified claims as confirmed facts.

When important details change, we aim to update the article as reliable information becomes available.

Sources and Attribution

When information comes from an external source, we aim to attribute it appropriately.

We give preference to original and primary sources, including:

• Official company announcements
• Government documents
• Regulatory information
• Technical documentation
• Direct statements
• Original reports and research

We do not intentionally present another publisher’s original reporting as TechDrivers’ own reporting.

Where appropriate, readers should be able to understand whether information has been independently reported by TechDrivers or obtained from another source.

Reviews and Product Testing

Where TechDrivers reviews a product or service, we aim to provide an honest and useful assessment based on the information and testing available to us.

A review represents the experience and assessment available at the time of publication and should not be interpreted as a guarantee that every reader will have the same experience.

Where a product has been supplied by a manufacturer, retailer or brand for review, we aim to disclose that relationship where appropriate.

Receiving a product or service for review does not guarantee a positive review.

User-Generated Information

Information submitted by readers, social media users or other third parties may require additional verification before publication.

We do not automatically treat social media posts, screenshots, comments, videos or user claims as confirmed facts.

When such material is important to a story, we seek additional evidence or confirmation where reasonably possible.

Artificial Intelligence and Content

Technology tools, including artificial intelligence, may be used as part of our content-production workflow where appropriate.

AI-generated information is not treated as automatically accurate or authoritative.

AI-assisted material should be reviewed by a writer or editor before publication, particularly when it involves:

• Factual claims
• Statistics
• Technical specifications
• Prices
• Current events
• Company information
• Government or regulatory developments

Human editorial review remains responsible for the accuracy and final publication of TechDrivers content.

Corrections

Despite our efforts, mistakes can happen.

When we identify a factual error, we aim to correct it promptly and transparently.

Minor spelling, grammar or formatting changes may be made without a public correction notice when they do not materially affect the meaning of an article.

Significant factual corrections may be accompanied by a correction note or editor’s note.

For more information, see our Corrections Policy.

Fact-Checking Correction Request

Our editorial team will review the claim and available evidence before determining whether an update or correction is appropriate.

Editorial Independence

Fact-checking and correction decisions are independent of advertising and commercial relationships.

Advertisers, sponsors and commercial partners do not have the right to alter factual information simply because they have a commercial relationship with TechDrivers.

Our responsibility is to provide readers with accurate, useful and responsibly presented information.

Continuous Improvement

Fact-checking is an ongoing process.

As TechDrivers grows, we will continue improving our editorial processes, source verification, correction procedures and content standards.

Our goal is simple: to publish information our readers can trust.
