Editorial Policy

Content Creation Process

All Rankly content is created by our research and editorial team. Our process involves:

• Research: We gather information from publicly available broker/exchange data, platform testing, regulatory databases, user feedback and industry sources.
• Scoring: Each platform is evaluated against our published scoring criteria. Scores are calculated objectively — no subjective override is allowed.
• Writing: Content is written following our style guide with focus on clarity, neutrality and India-specific context.
• Fact-Checking: Every factual claim is verified against primary sources. Fee numbers, regulatory details and platform features are double-checked.
• Editorial Review: A senior editor reviews each piece for accuracy, compliance-safe language, clarity and fairness before publication.

Content Update Policy

We update content on multiple schedules:

• Quarterly Reviews: All broker and exchange review pages are reviewed at least every 3 months for accuracy.
• Event-Driven Updates: Major platform changes, regulatory developments or fee adjustments trigger immediate review.
• Continuous Monitoring: Our team monitors regulatory announcements, industry news and user feedback between scheduled reviews.
• Last Reviewed Date: Every review page displays when it was last reviewed and updated.

Compliance-Safe Language

Rankly follows strict language guidelines for content about offshore brokers and crypto platforms:

• We do not claim that offshore CFD brokers are "legal", "licensed", "approved" or "regulated" in India unless verified by official Indian regulatory sources.
• We use neutral phrasing such as "for Indian users", "India guide", "platform comparison", "educational review" and "risk information".
• We do not present leveraged trading as easy, guaranteed or low-risk. Risk warnings are prominent and specific.
• We clearly distinguish between FIU registration, global regulatory licenses, and authorisation by Indian authorities like SEBI or RBI.

Independence from Commercial Interests

Our editorial team operates independently from any commercial or affiliate relationships. No platform can:

• Pay to change their Rankly score or ranking.
• Review or approve content before publication.
• Request removal of negative findings or risk notes.
• Guarantee specific placement, language or review outcomes.

All affiliate relationships are disclosed on relevant pages. Our Affiliate Disclosure page provides complete details.

Corrections Policy

If we discover an error in our content — whether through internal review, user feedback or platform notification — we correct it promptly. Significant corrections are noted on the affected page with the date of correction. Minor typographical or formatting corrections may be applied without specific notation.

If you believe you have found an error in our content, please contact us with details and we will review and respond.

Bilingual Content Standards

Rankly publishes content in both English and Hindi. Our Hindi content is not a direct machine translation — it is separately written and reviewed to ensure natural readability for Hindi and Hinglish speakers. Content meaning is preserved across languages, with appropriate adaptation for cultural and linguistic context rather than word-for-word translation.
