We believe accurate information empowers travelers and strengthens community trust. This policy explains how capeverdeusa.org verifies facts and corrects mistakes.
Our Commitment
We are committed to accuracy, clarity, and fairness. Every key claim—whether about ferry routes, seasonal weather, cultural practices, or historical events—should be supported by credible evidence and presented in clear language.
Verification Process
Editors and writers verify information using multiple sources. Preferred sources include official government and tourism portals, meteorological services, transportation operators, peer-reviewed research, reputable news outlets, and first-hand accounts from local experts. We cross-check dates, spellings, place names, and prices or schedules where applicable, and we clearly label estimates or ranges. When data is uncertain or changing, we note limitations and provide context.
Corrections & Updates
If an error is found, we fix it promptly and, where material, note the correction or update date on the page. When a topic changes (for example, new ferry timetables or altered park access), we update articles as soon as practical. Readers can report issues through our contact email; we review every submission in good faith.
Editorial Independence
Our fact-checking decisions are independent of advertisers, sponsors, and affiliates. We do not allow commercial relationships to dictate what we publish or how we verify it.
Reader Feedback
We welcome insights from locals, travelers, and subject-matter experts. If you spot a potential error or have new information, contact us with sources or documentation. Verified contributions help us improve accuracy and completeness.
Why It Matters
Reliable travel and historical information reduces risk, saves time and money, and fosters respectful engagement with local communities. By keeping our verification process transparent and responsive, we aim to earn and maintain your trust every time you visit capeverdeusa.org.
