01Our Standards for Legal Accuracy
Legal accuracy means more than "technically true." We require that content reflects the current version of any law or rule cited, correctly distinguishes between federal and state requirements, accounts for jurisdictional differences rather than assuming one state's rules apply everywhere, and is written with enough precision that a reader won't misapply it to their own situation. When a law is genuinely unsettled or varies significantly by state, we say so directly instead of glossing over it.
02Legal Information vs. Legal Advice
Everything we publish is legal information, not legal advice. Legal information explains what the law generally says and how a process generally works. Legal advice applies the law to one person's specific facts and tells them what to do.
We don't know your specific case, your court's local rules, or every detail of your situation, so we don't tell you what to do in it. What we do is give you the accurate, well-organized information you need to make an informed decision, and to know when it's time to bring in a licensed attorney.
03How We Keep Content Up to Date
Laws change, court forms get updated, and procedural deadlines shift. We review published content on a regular schedule to check for outdated statutes, changed procedures, or superseded forms. When a law changes in a way that affects the accuracy of an article, that article is prioritized for immediate update rather than waiting for its next scheduled review. Every article displays the date it was last reviewed so readers know exactly how current the information is.
04Corrections Policy
If we get something wrong, we fix it. Any reader can flag a possible error through our feedback channel. Reported issues are reviewed by our editorial team, and where legal accuracy is in question, escalated to attorney review. Confirmed errors are corrected promptly, and for material corrections that could affect how a reader acted on the information, we note the correction on the article itself.
05Editorial Independence
Our editorial decisions are made independently of any commercial relationship. What we choose to cover, how we explain it, and what we recommend are based on what's genuinely useful and accurate for the reader, not on which products or services we may earn revenue from.
06Advertising, Partnerships, and Commercial Content
IAMPROSAY may feature advertising, affiliate links, or partnerships with third-party products and services. Any such relationship is clearly disclosed to readers. Commercial relationships never influence the legal accuracy of our content or the editorial team's independent research and review process.
07AI-Assisted Content Policy
We use AI tools to assist with parts of our workflow, such as research organization and early drafting. AI is never the final word on legal accuracy. Every piece of content involving AI assistance still goes through human editorial review and, where legal topics are involved, attorney review before publication. No AI-generated content is published without a human verifying its accuracy against primary legal sources.
08Our Writing Standards
We write for readers who are dealing with a real problem, not studying for the bar exam. That means plain language over legal jargon, short paragraphs and clear structure over dense blocks of text, concrete examples over abstract explanations, and honesty about complexity when a topic genuinely doesn't have a simple answer. Clarity is a standard we hold ourselves to just as strictly as we hold ourselves to legal accuracy.
09State-Specific and Jurisdiction-Specific Content
Debt collection, credit reporting, and court procedure rules vary significantly from state to state. Wherever a topic is affected by jurisdiction, we clearly identify which rules are federal and apply everywhere, and which rules are state-specific and may differ from where you live. Where we cover a topic at a general, multi-state level, we say so explicitly and point readers toward how to verify the rule in their own state.
10User Feedback and Content Concerns
We welcome feedback from readers, especially when something seems unclear, outdated, or incorrect. Readers can flag concerns directly through our contact channel, and every submission is reviewed by our editorial team. We treat reader feedback as a core part of keeping our content accurate, not an afterthought.
