Every article on SafeCam Guide has to meet these standards.

1. Getting it right

  • Platform facts (prices, billing names, support channels, policies) come from our own tests or the platform’s official pages, and they’re dated.
  • Anything we haven’t confirmed ourselves yet is marked approx.
  • Legal and safety information comes from official sources such as the FBI, the FTC, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the courts, and we link to them.
  • We don’t give legal or financial advice. If a question needs a professional, we say so.

2. Independence

  • Recommendations follow our testing method.
  • Commissions have no effect on who’s listed or in what order. See our affiliate disclosure.
  • Platforms don’t review or sign off on what we write.

3. Written for real people

  • Plain English and short sentences, with every term explained and a glossary for anything left over.
  • Each guide opens with a short answer, so you can get what you came for quickly.
  • Plenty of our readers are new to this corner of the internet. We write with that in mind, and we never push anyone to spend.

4. Nothing explicit

We publish text, tables, icons and screenshots of interfaces. That’s it. No explicit images, previews or video.

5. Respect for performers

Performers are professionals. We don’t publish their personal information, we don’t try to find out who they are offline, and we write about them with respect.

6. Safety and wellbeing

We publish guides on scams, spending limits, cancelling and refunds even though they don’t earn us a cent, and we link to free help services where they’re useful.

7. Updates and corrections

  • Every article shows when it was last updated.
  • Prices and billing data are re-checked at least every six months.
  • Spotted a mistake? Please get in touch. We fix factual errors quickly, and if a correction is significant we note it at the end of the article.
