Editorial policy

Independent and free to read

FC Tech is editorially independent. Companies cannot pay for coverage, review placement or favorable wording, and we do not let advertisers or partners approve articles before publication. Everything we publish is free to read, with no paywall.

How our articles are researched

• We start from primary sources wherever possible: manufacturer specifications and support documents, regulator and standards-body publications, official company statements and filings.
• We cross-check claims against more than one source and prefer independent testing and documentation over marketing material.
• Buying guides focus on the criteria that matter in real use, and say plainly when the right choice depends on your situation.
• How-tos are written as clear steps and note where menus and options vary between devices, versions or regions.
• Where we list sources, they appear at the end of the article.

Bylines and editing

Articles are produced by the FC Tech Editorial Team and edited for accuracy, clarity and fairness before publication. Prices, availability and software features change often, so we date every article and show when it was last updated.

Updates and corrections

When we learn that something is wrong or out of date, we fix it promptly and change the "Updated" date on the article. Significant corrections are noted in the article. To report an error, emailhello@fctech.media with the link and the details.

Not professional advice

Our guides are general information to help you make your own decisions. For legal, financial, security-incident or safety questions specific to you, consult a qualified professional.
