Ethics Statement and Editorial Policy
Few concerns are as critical and pressing in our era as security. From stealing identity to web crime, the dangers we deal with change and grow. Facing these problems requires facts, but having too many wrong details makes it harder. At FinanceProsper, we recognize this need for clarity and reliability.
We established FinanceProsper to provide ordinary individuals with the highest quality information on staying secure in an increasingly dangerous world. Our dedicated team of experts rigorously researches security, personal finance, and privacy topics to offer comprehensive and reliable insights.

At FinanceProsper, we uphold rigorous editorial standards to ensure the integrity and independence of our content. Our writers adhere to strict guidelines, surpassing industry norms, to deliver trustworthy information that you can rely on.
Our commitment to your trust is fundamental. We strive to earn and maintain your confidence by providing transparent and ethical journalism.

Editorial Independence
Everything starts with autonomy, which allows us to publish our content quickly.
At FinanceProsper, we cover a wide range of companies related to privacy and security. We care much more about them because we are communicators rather than cheerleaders.
Our independence is based on the responsibility that comes from adhering to the strict editorial rules.
Also, we always maintain a reasonable distance between the advertising and writing teams to ensure that all information published is objective and free of commercial influence.
The conduct guidelines for our site include the following:
- Independence and Responsibility: To make sure that our content is always helping our readers and exists influenced by any outside agenda, we take care to maintain total independence in our editorial decisions.
- Separation of Advertising and Editorial: We maintain complete separation between our editorial and advertising teams to provide objectivity and rights. This way, the information we publish stays free from any commercial influence, so you can trust that what you’re reading is the real deal.
- Conduct Guidelines: Our conduct guidelines prohibit any form of remuneration or gifts from companies or their PR agencies. It is required that writers reveal close relationships and step back from stories covered to preserve fairness and non-partisanship.
- No Paid Content: We do not accept paid content or engage in practices that compromise the integrity of our editorial content.

- Transparency in Reporting: We will not accept requirements for covering news stories. Our reporting is founded on journalistic principles like fairness, accuracy, and independence.
When we say we don’t take valuables, it means gifts, trips paid for, meals for free, and cheaper services, and more. It means no gifts or trips paid for or meals for free.
And whenever our writers attend industry events, we cover all the expenses, including hotels, food, and transportation.
At FinanceProsper, we are committed to the highest quality, integrity, and transparency in journalism. We hold our readers’ trust as our highest treasure. We take it seriously with the coming up of reliable, objective, and informative content.
A Human Website for Human Beings: The Reason Our Content is Not AI-generated
All of the content on FinanceProsper is handwritten by human experts. Many other websites and resources in the industry publish a large amount of content quickly because it is generated by AI. Our goal is to provide the most reliable content on the subject. A team of human experts must conduct the research, personally test each security product, and then write the reviews, articles, and other content that will be most useful to our readers.
We believe in the capabilities of technology. There is no doubt that AI possesses massive power. However, we see significant limitations when AI is used as a writing aid, particularly in terms of imparting comprehensive insights into the complexities and specific nuances of product testing. In this domain, machines cannot compete with humans. Indeed, there are serious consequences when well-known websites use robot-generated content.
Here’s why we entrust all of our website’s content to genuine experts:
- Our subject matter experts have extensive industry experience, allowing them to analyze and differentiate options beyond the capabilities of any machine.
- We take the initiative to personally purchase the products and subscribe to the services we discuss, giving our readers a comprehensive, 360-degree view of whether it meets their needs.
- We communicate our nuanced experiences with these products and services in ways that robots cannot.
- We never copy and paste from other websites which are often misleading or inaccurate.
- Our research is based on surveys of hundreds or thousands of real people in real communities like yours.
- We engage our readers in a captivating narrative on a variety of topics, infusing our writing with vibrancy, vitality, and a distinct personality that robots cannot replicate. (Apologies to robots.)
We promise that every word on our site is written by real people. They’ve worked for a long time doing careful research in their areas. Your safety is important, and we think real experiences should help you.
You deserve a superior, genuine experience, and we are dedicated to providing just that.

We strongly believe that everyone should have free access to information and resources that contribute to their safety. Keep this principle in mind. We don’t charge anything to access our research.

We understand that intrusive and irritating advertisements can frustrate readers and reduce their overall experience.
However, in order to continue providing our audience with high-quality research, our site must generate revenue.
