Hubkub publishes practical technology guides, software reviews, comparisons, downloads safety notes, and security/how-to articles for readers who want clear decisions before installing, buying, or changing a tool.
This editorial policy explains how Hubkub chooses topics, checks facts, uses AI assistance, handles affiliate links, and corrects mistakes.

Mission
Hubkub exists to help readers make safer and clearer technology decisions. The site focuses on questions such as:
- Is this software safe to download from the official source?
- What changed in a product, model, security issue, or tool update?
- Which option is better for a real workflow?
- What should a beginner check before installing, buying, or switching?
The goal is not to repeat vendor marketing. Each article should give the reader a practical answer, the source behind that answer, and any limits or trade-offs that matter.
Who runs Hubkub
Hubkub is operated by TouchEVA, focusing on practical software, AI tools, security, and web operations.
Editorial independence
Hubkub makes editorial decisions independently. Advertisers, vendors, affiliate partners, or outside companies do not decide what Hubkub covers, how a product is ranked, or what conclusion an article reaches.
If a page is sponsored, paid, or created through a direct commercial arrangement, it must be clearly labeled for readers. Hubkub should not publish paid material disguised as independent editorial content.
How topics are selected
Hubkub prioritizes topics when they help readers with one of these needs:
- safe official download and setup decisions,
- clear comparison between competing tools,
- practical AI, developer, security, or productivity workflows,
- urgent security or platform changes that need action,
- updates to older guides when search intent or product facts have changed.
During AdSense recovery, Hubkub avoids publishing thin trend recaps or duplicate pages that do not add a clear user benefit.
Research and sourcing standards
Hubkub prefers primary sources. Depending on the article type, sources may include official product pages, official download pages, documentation, help centers, changelogs, release notes, GitHub releases, app-store listings, vendor security advisories, public vulnerability databases, or reputable secondary reporting when it adds incident context.
For software and downloads pages, Hubkub should make the official download path obvious and avoid sending readers to mirrors when an official source is available. Hubkub should not base a recommendation only on press releases, anonymous forum claims, copied product descriptions, or unverified social posts.
Reviews and testing methodology
Hubkub uses two evidence levels and should make the difference clear in the article body.
Hands-on review
A hands-on review is based on real testing by TouchEVA or another approved real operator. It may include the device and operating system used, installation or setup steps, screenshots captured during the test, sample files or workloads, issues found during use, and a verdict based on that real experience. Hands-on evidence must not be invented. If TouchEVA has not tested something, the article should not claim that he did.
Official-source based review
An official-source based review is used when a fresh hands-on retest has not been completed. It should be based on concrete source checks such as the official download page, docs, release notes, current version, package name, pricing model, platform support, and account requirements. This type of review can still be useful, but it should not pretend to be a fresh hands-on test.
AI assistance disclosure
Hubkub may use AI tools to help with research organization, outlining, draft cleanup, grammar, comparison tables, and checklist formatting. AI output should not be treated as a final source of truth. Before publication, factual claims should be checked against official or reputable sources.
AI must not be used to invent screenshots, author experience, product tests, credentials, reviewer identities, dates, file sizes, benchmark scores, or quotes. Read the full AI Disclosure.
Corrections policy
Readers can report factual mistakes, outdated download links, broken official-source links, or unclear disclosure through the Contact page. When Hubkub confirms an error, the site should correct it as soon as practical. If a correction materially changes the advice or conclusion, the article should be updated with a clear revised date or note.
Update policy
Hubkub updates content when product versions, pricing, platform support, account requirements, security guidance, download links, search intent, or reader needs change. A meaningful update should preserve the original URL when the topic is still the same. New duplicate pages should be avoided when a canonical existing page can be refreshed.
Affiliate disclosure
Some pages may contain affiliate or advertising links where clearly disclosed. Hubkub does not let sponsorships control editorial conclusions.
Advertising policy
Hubkub may show ads. Ads should be separate from editorial decisions. On downloads pages, ads must not be placed in a way that looks like a download button, official setup link, or navigation element. Ads should not appear directly beside the main official download call-to-action.
Product access and conflicts
If a company provides free product access, trial access, review units, credits, or sponsorship, Hubkub should disclose that relationship in the relevant article. Free access does not guarantee positive coverage.
Reader feedback
Readers can contact Hubkub about factual concerns, broken links, correction requests, or disclosure questions through the Contact page.
