Editorial Policy
How Modern Love Unlocked is written, reviewed, corrected, and how we handle letters from readers.
Publisher and independence
This publication is owned and published by Gold Touch Brands LLC. Editorial decisions are made independently of advertising. Advertisements are labeled and kept visually separate from article text, and advertisers do not review or approve articles.
Authorship and bylines
Every article carries a byline. Articles currently published here are produced by the Modern Love Unlocked editorial desk and are not claimed as personally written by any named author. When a piece is written or reviewed by a named person, that name appears in the byline or in a review note on the article.
Review before publication
Articles are drafted, fact-checked for internal accuracy, and reviewed by the publisher before publication. Drafts may be prepared with editorial and research assistance; responsibility for what is published rests with the publisher.
Sources, examples, and claims
We avoid presenting invented research, statistics, quotations, or case studies. When an example is used to illustrate a pattern, it is written as an illustrative example and labeled as such in the text. We do not cite studies we have not read, and we do not attribute claims to experts who have not said them.
Dear Gina letters
Dear Gina columns answer common relationship questions. Letters currently published in this column are illustrative composites: written to represent a frequent question, and labeled on the page as such. They are not presented as real correspondence.
When real letters are published, they will be used only with the sender’s permission, edited for length and clarity, and stripped of names, locations, employers, and other identifying details. A letter will be marked as a reader submission only when it actually is one.
Corrections
If you find an error, email editor@goldtouchbrands.com with the page and the problem. We review requests, correct the text where we agree, and note substantive corrections on the article with the date they were made. Requests we decline will receive a reply explaining why.
Updates
Articles may be updated over time as guidance, links, or examples change. Substantive updates are noted on the page.
Advertising
This site may display advertising served by Google AdSense. Ads are selected by Google, not by our editorial team. We do not accept payment for favorable coverage, and sponsored content, if it ever appears, will be labeled as sponsored.
Accessibility and contact
We aim for readable typography, strong contrast, and navigable structure. Report accessibility problems or editorial questions to editor@goldtouchbrands.com.
