What We Don't Do
To maintain quality and reader trust, we specifically avoid:
- ✕Fear-based predictions: We don't use alarming language or predict disasters to drive engagement
- ✕Recycled content: We never republish old horoscopes with new dates
- ✕Random generation: Our content isn't produced by simple word-shuffling algorithms
- ✕Specific predictions: We don't claim to predict specific events, lottery numbers, or exact outcomes
- ✕Medical/financial advice: We never position horoscopes as substitutes for professional guidance
- ✕Unqualified claims: We don't claim astrology is scientifically proven or always accurate
Ethical Guidelines
Reader Wellbeing First
We prioritize reader wellbeing over engagement metrics. We won't exploit anxiety or fear to drive clicks, and we always remind readers that important decisions should involve qualified professionals.
Inclusive Language
Our content uses inclusive, gender-neutral language where possible. We respect all relationships and family structures in our compatibility and relationship content.
Cultural Respect
We honor the cultural origins of different astrological traditions. Vedic astrology is presented with respect for its Indian heritage, and we don't misappropriate or trivialize traditional practices.
Honest Limitations
We're upfront that astrology is not scientifically validated. Our entertainment disclaimer appears prominently, and we never claim predictive certainty our methods cannot provide.
Corrections Policy
We're committed to accuracy, but mistakes can happen. When they do:
- Calculation errors are corrected immediately upon discovery
- Factual errors in educational content are corrected with a note
- Major corrections are acknowledged transparently
- Readers can report errors via hello@horoscopehub.io
Reader Feedback
We value reader feedback and use it to improve our content. If you notice an error, have a suggestion, or want to share how our content has helped you, we'd love to hear from you.
