At Create-Context, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and fairness in our reviews of movies and video games. As a platform dedicated to providing honest and insightful content, we believe that trust is fundamental to maintaining a meaningful relationship with our audience.
This Ethics Policy outlines the principles that guide our work and how we handle relationships with content creators, developers, and distributors. We are committed to ensuring that our reviews reflect our genuine opinions and experiences, free from external influence.
1. Independence and Objectivity
We are dedicated to maintaining editorial independence. Our reviews are based solely on our team’s honest opinions, experiences, and expertise. Whether we are reviewing a blockbuster film, an indie game, or a highly anticipated release, our analysis is based on the content itself, not any external pressures or incentives.
2. Transparency in Sponsored Content
We believe in full transparency when it comes to any sponsored content or partnerships. If a review or article is sponsored or influenced by a third party (such as a game developer, movie studio, or PR agency), we will clearly disclose this to our readers. Sponsored content will be marked as such, ensuring that there is no confusion between paid promotions and editorially independent content.
3. Receiving Free Screeners or Review Copies
Occasionally, Create-Context may receive free screeners (movies) or review copies (video games) from studios, publishers, or distributors to assess the content for potential review. Receiving these items does not guarantee a positive review, and we reserve the right to critique the content fairly and openly, regardless of how it was received.
- Disclosure: We will always disclose when a movie or game has been provided for free in a review.
- Honest Reviews: Receiving free content does not influence the opinions or scores expressed in our reviews. We believe in providing readers with balanced and unbiased assessments, and our reviews reflect our genuine thoughts and experiences with the content.
- No Influence from Providers: Review copies or screeners are not a form of payment, nor do they provide any editorial control or influence over the content of our reviews. Our team is free to critique any aspect of the product as they see fit.
4. No Payment for Positive Reviews
We do not accept payment or any form of compensation in exchange for positive reviews or favorable coverage. Any content or review provided by Create-Context will be based on an honest and independent evaluation of the product, whether it’s a game, a movie, or any other form of entertainment.
5. Handling Conflicts of Interest
Our editorial team is encouraged to disclose any personal or professional relationships that may create a potential conflict of interest when reviewing content. This includes any prior or ongoing work with game studios, filmmakers, or other industry professionals. These disclosures will be made clearly and promptly, so our audience can have confidence in the integrity of our content.
6. Audience Trust and Feedback
We take our responsibility to our audience seriously and value the trust they place in our reviews. If we make an error in a review or there is a factual inaccuracy, we will correct it promptly. We also encourage feedback and open dialogue with our readers, understanding that transparency is key to fostering a positive, informed community.
7. Editorial Integrity
Create-Context operates with editorial independence in all matters of content. We strive to remain free of bias, whether it be influenced by studio relationships, sponsorships, or any other external factors. Our content is driven by our commitment to honest critique and thoughtful analysis, and we are committed to upholding this standard in every piece we produce.
8. Privacy and Data Handling
We respect the privacy of our readers and users. Any data collected through our website, such as email sign-ups or user comments, is handled with the utmost care, in compliance with applicable data protection laws. We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information without your explicit consent.
9. Changes to This Policy
As the digital landscape and entertainment industries evolve, we may update or adjust this Ethics Policy to reflect new developments, challenges, or legal requirements. Any significant changes will be communicated to our readers, and the most recent version of this policy will always be accessible on our website.
By adhering to these ethical standards, Create-Context aims to foster a community of trust and transparency with our readers. We strive to provide thoughtful, informed, and unbiased reviews that help our audience make informed decisions about movies, games, and other forms of entertainment. Thank you for trusting us as a source of honest opinions and recommendations.
