Effective date: February 12, 2026
Publisher: Trunks Depot (part of the StrongMocha News Group)
Scope: This policy applies to all content published on TrunksDepot.com, including guides, explainers, checklists, and shopping-related content.

1) Our editorial mission

Trunks Depot exists to help readers store smarter, pack better, and protect their belongings—at home, in vehicles, and while traveling.

We focus on practical, experience-based guidance that is:

  • clear and easy to understand
  • grounded in verifiable information
  • written to help readers make safer, better-informed decisions

2) What we publish

We publish content in two broad formats:

A) Informational content

  • how-to guides and step-by-step instructions
  • definitions and explanations (materials, sizes, lock types, etc.)
  • checklists, templates, and planning tools
  • care, cleaning, repair, and longevity tips
  • safety and compatibility basics (e.g., fit, load, weatherproofing)

B) Shopping-related informational content

  • product roundups and “best of” lists
  • buyer’s guides (“how to choose…”)
  • comparisons based on specifications, stated features, compatibility, and use cases

We aim to clearly label content by purpose so readers can understand whether a page is primarily educational, decision-support, or shopping-adjacent.

3) How we create content (including AI use)

Trunks Depot content is created using AI-generated writing systems as part of our production workflow.

Our standard process includes:

  • Topic selection based on what readers commonly ask and need
  • Research using manufacturer documentation, official standards where relevant, and reputable publications
  • AI-assisted drafting to structure and generate an initial version of the article
  • Editorial checks for clarity, internal consistency, and obvious errors
  • Ongoing updates when information changes or new reader feedback suggests improvements

Important note about AI: AI can produce inaccuracies. Readers should treat our content as informational and verify critical details—especially where safety, compatibility, or compliance is involved.

4) Accuracy standards and sourcing

We strive for accuracy, but we do not claim perfection.

Our quality principles:

  • Prefer primary sources when possible (manufacturer specs, official standards, official guidance)
  • Use reputable secondary sources when needed (recognized media, established industry references)
  • Avoid repeating unverified claims
  • Clearly separate facts from recommendations or opinions
  • Update content when errors are confirmed or information changes

5) Product mentions and editorial independence

When we discuss products, we aim to do so in a way that is useful, fair, and reader-first.

Our editorial team aims to:

  • recommend or highlight products based on fit-for-purpose criteria (compatibility, features, materials, known tradeoffs)
  • avoid sensational or misleading claims
  • not guarantee results, durability, or performance beyond what is reasonably supported by available information

Independence:
Editorial decisions are made to serve readers. If we publish any content that has a commercial relationship attached to it (such as sponsored content), it must be clearly labeled as such on the page.

6) Updates, corrections, and reader feedback

We welcome corrections. If you believe a page is inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated, contact us with:

  • the page URL
  • what you believe is incorrect
  • (if possible) a source that supports your correction

If a correction is warranted, we may:

  • update the article text
  • add clarification
  • or (when appropriate) note the correction

7) Reviews, testing, and claims policy

Unless explicitly stated on a page:

  • we do not claim to have physically tested every product discussed
  • we do not claim manufacturer affiliation
  • we do not guarantee fit, performance, safety, or outcomes

Where product fitment, load limits, airline rules, or safety constraints apply, readers should always verify with:

  • the manufacturer’s instructions
  • the vehicle owner’s manual (when applicable)
  • and any relevant local regulations or carrier policies

8) Content ethics and reader trust

We do not publish content intended to mislead readers. We avoid:

  • fabricated citations or invented “studies”
  • plagiarized text
  • deceptive “before/after” promises
  • false urgency or fear-based manipulation
