Primary Sources First
We prioritize the IRS for federal IRA rules and federal investor-protection agencies for fraud and risk guidance. Company-owned sources are used for current company-specific terms such as minimums, fees, and policies.
Experience Is Identified Honestly
We have hands-on experience with the product and service category. We do not invent transaction details, returns, testimonials, or outcomes that were not provided or documented.
No Guaranteed Outcomes
We do not describe precious metals as guaranteed, risk-free, or certain to protect purchasing power. We do not provide personalized investment, tax, or legal advice.
Corrections And Updates
Company terms and tax rules can change. Material factual errors should be corrected promptly, and unstable company information should be rechecked during updates.
Review Process For Financial Claims
Before publication, claims about IRA eligibility, rollovers, collectibles, custody, and distributions are checked against current IRS material. Claims about precious-metals fraud, spreads, sales practices, and investor risks are checked against federal investor-protection guidance. Merchant-specific minimums, fees, promotions, and policies are checked against the merchant’s own current materials.
How Affiliate Content Is Handled
The presence of an affiliate relationship does not change the evidence standard. Commercial pages must still disclose material minimums, costs, risks, and limitations. Calls to action are labeled as affiliate links, and the merchant is not presented as the owner or publisher of Gold IRA Clarity.
