Editorial Standards

Chatrio publishes guidance about anonymous chat, online safety, and digital connection. People make real decisions based on what they read here — how to stay safe talking to strangers, how to spot a scam, how to cope with loneliness — so we hold our writing to a clear standard. This page explains how our articles are created, who is responsible for them, and how we keep them accurate.

Who writes and reviews our content

Articles on Chatrio are written and reviewed by Vijay, the founder of Chatrio. Chatrio has operated an anonymous, no-signup chat platform since 2024, and that first-hand experience running the product — including what keeps people safe and what goes wrong in real conversations — informs the guidance we publish.

How we research and source

• Real sources only. When we cite a statistic or study, it links to a genuine, verifiable source — for example Pew Research, the APA, Statista, Ofcom, the FTC, or peer-reviewed journals. We do not invent studies, quotes, or citations to sound authoritative.
• We say when something is opinion. Practical advice drawn from experience is presented as such, and kept separate from claims that rest on research.
• Safety guidance is conservative. On topics like scams, catfishing, and meeting people offline, we err toward caution and never encourage risky behavior for the sake of engagement.

Accuracy and corrections

We review published articles periodically and update them when facts, tools, or best practices change — dated articles carry a publish date so you can judge how current they are. If you spot an error or something that reads as misleading, email chatrioapp@gmail.com and we will review it and correct it if warranted.

Independence and advertising

Chatrio may display advertising and, where relevant, mention its own product. Advertising never determines our editorial recommendations, and we clearly distinguish our own product from independent guidance. When we compare Chatrio to other services, we aim to describe the alternatives fairly rather than dismiss them.

AI use

We may use software tools to help draft or edit, but every published article is directed, fact-checked, and reviewed by a human before it goes live. We are responsible for everything we publish, regardless of the tools used to produce it.
