Ethics Policy
Design Intensification Gallery commits to the highest standards of integrity in all our content. Our reporting on design, architecture, and cultural heritage aims to inform and inspire our readers truthfully. This policy outlines our core principles for maintaining trust and editorial independence.
Editorial Independence
Our editorial team operates independently from any commercial influence. Decisions about what we cover, how we present information, and which projects we highlight are based solely on editorial merit and reader interest. Advertisers and partners do not influence our content, ensuring our coverage of global design remains impartial.
Conflict of Interest Disclosure
Staff members must disclose any personal or financial interests that could create a conflict of interest. This includes relationships with designers, firms, or brands featured on Design Intensification Gallery. We manage these disclosures to preserve the integrity of our reporting and maintain objectivity in all design narratives.
Gifts and Review Products
Design Intensification Gallery staff do not accept gifts of substantial value from companies or individuals we cover. Products sent for review receive consideration for coverage without any promise of a positive review. Receipt of a product does not guarantee its inclusion on our site.
Any items accepted for review are typically returned upon request. When return is not feasible, items are often donated to charity. Our policy ensures objective assessments of design products and services.
Corrections and Accountability
We commit to accurate reporting. If Design Intensification Gallery publishes factual errors, we correct them promptly. Corrections appear clearly marked on the relevant article page.
Readers can report potential errors by emailing our editorial team. Send correction requests to [email protected]. We aim to address and rectify errors within 48 business hours of verification.
Transparency in Partnerships
Design Intensification Gallery works with partners and advertisers while maintaining editorial integrity. Sponsored content, advertising, and affiliate links are always clearly identified. Readers will easily distinguish between editorial content and paid promotions.
All partnerships align with our commitment to showcasing quality design and cultural expression. This policy ensures our readers receive honest and transparent information. For partnership inquiries, please contact [email protected].
