EcoHearth is dedicated to providing credible and authoritative information to help each of its users make a difference and live as low-impact, off-grid, intentional and sustainable lifestyle as possible. One of EcoHearth’s core values is integrity. We seek to provide high-quality content that is comprehensive, accurate and non-biased.

The content appearing on EcoHearth is primarily comprised of original pieces. To provide balanced, in-depth coverage, additional content and databases are licensed from reputable news and information providers.

In order to uphold our credibility, we have developed guidelines that set forth editorial and ethical standards observed at EcoHearth. This policy addresses issues such as distinguishing editorial from advertising content, our conflict-of-interest policy for contributing authors and our content evaluation and update procedures.

Editorial Independence
In order to provide our information and services to you for free, EcoHearth accepts sponsorship and advertising. So that we may accept advertising and also remain a trusted source of unbiased information, EcoHearth adheres to a strict policy of editorial independence.

EcoHearth, in all cases, maintains complete editorial control of the content we develop and present to you. Our advertisers and other third-party sponsors are not permitted to exert any influence over our content, nor are they ever allowed to make changes to any content already on our site.

Whether original or licensed, editorial content selected for our site will be comprehensive and impartial. Our staff will be involved in the selection of such content and will help evaluate the quality of the sources and qualifications of the authors/contributors.

Content Review
Our Editorial Review Panel will aid in the review of content appearing on our site. They will evaluate content for accuracy, completeness and timeliness.

Content from Outside Sources
For cases in which the information published was not generated by our editorial staff, we will label that content to indicate its source.

Conflict-of-Interest Disclosure
We require experts, authors and contributors to disclose financial interests in companies or products about which they are commenting that may pose a conflict of interest.

Identifiable Ads
EcoHearth generates revenue by selling advertisements in the form of banners, sponsorships, special advertising sections and co-branded services. We follow the standards specified by the Internet Advertising Bureau; therefore, advertisement and sponsorships will be clearly identifiable either through visually distinct and separate placement and/or labeling as such.

Timely Corrections and Updates
We are committed to providing up-to-date information. As new details become available, we will quickly correct or update information including safety recalls, errors and product releases.

Verification of Professional Qualifications
For those contributing original content to our site, we will verify their professional qualifications.
