Recommendations cannot be bought
Retailers, affiliate networks, manufacturers and advertisers do not get a better score, ranking, verdict or Piqelo’s Choice award because they pay more.
Trust center
Trust & Transparency
Piqelo is designed so evidence can shape the recommendation while money cannot. This page makes the key editorial, affiliate, privacy and security rules easy to inspect.
The short version
How Piqelo earns trust
Piqelo is built to help a person make a product decision, not to maximize a merchant payout. Research, recommendations and commerce are deliberately separated.
Sources stay inspectable
Expert testing, owner experience, specifications, confidence and source links remain visible wherever the evidence supports them.
Clicks must be intentional
Retailer links are presented for a reader to choose. Piqelo does not permit hidden, forced, automated or incentivized clicks to create affiliate activity.
For readers, merchants & partners
A reviewer can verify the important rules quickly
- Original research experience
- Piqelo synthesizes attributable expert tests, owner evidence, product specifications, reliability context and real-market pricing into its own decision framework. External evidence is cited rather than copied as if it were Piqelo’s work.
- Commercial separation
- Affiliate status and commission are not scoring inputs and do not determine recommendation order or retailer order.
- Promotional labeling
- Commercial retailer links are marked as sponsored in page markup and buying sections disclose that Piqelo may earn a commission.
- Human action
- Affiliate navigation must begin with a genuine reader action. Piqelo does not allow invisible frames, forced redirects, automatic clicks, bots or scripts to manufacture merchant traffic.
- Freshness & uncertainty
- Prices and availability can change. Piqelo timestamps market evidence where practical and shows uncertainty rather than inventing missing facts.
- Corrections
- Readers, manufacturers, retailers and reviewers can report factual issues through Contact Piqelo.
