Scope & coverage

Goldify Pro publishes original journalism, analysis, and educational background pieces covering the international gold market. Our coverage areas include:

• Price reporting & live rates — live XAU/USD spot and converted local-currency rates for 100+ countries, sourced from the international spot market and refreshed every 60 seconds.
• Market news — central-bank gold reserves changes, sovereign-fund flows, regulatory developments, and supply-side events (mining, refining, geopolitics).
• Analysis & forecasts — multi-year price projections, asset-class comparisons (gold vs equities / crypto / real estate), and macro-driver analysis (rates, inflation, currency).
• Background explainers — karat purity, weight-unit conventions, historical context, scientific properties of gold, refining processes.
• Tools & calculators — converters, karat purity checkers, historical price charts.

We do not cover: individual stock recommendations, get-rich-quick schemes, multi-level marketing programs, or any topic outside the gold-bullion and precious-metal industry.

Editorial standards

• Accuracy first. Every numerical claim (prices, ratios, percentages) must be verifiable from a public source. Historical figures must include the year.
• No clickbait headlines. Titles must reflect the article's content. We don't use “shocking”, “you won't believe”, or speculation-as-fact framing.
• Plain language. Financial jargon is defined on first use. We assume an educated general reader, not a trader.
• Balanced framing. Predictions and outlooks present multiple scenarios where applicable. We disclose uncertainty rather than overclaim.
• Conflict-of-interest disclosure. If we own a position in any asset discussed, we say so. Goldify Pro does not currently hold positions in any traded asset.
• No paid placements. No article is written or modified in exchange for payment from an outside party. Sponsored content, if ever introduced, will be clearly labelled as such.

Sourcing & verification

Our primary data sources, in order of preference:

1. Live XAU/USD spot price — sourced via licensed market-data API; updates every 60 seconds. The same benchmark used by COMEX, LBMA, and major bullion banks.
2. Exchange rates — sourced via licensed FX feed for 100+ currencies; refreshed every minute alongside the spot price.
3. Historical data — 1970-present XAU/USD daily series; 1990-present per-country conversions limited by exchange-rate-API coverage.
4. Central bank reserves — World Gold Council quarterly reports and the IMF International Financial Statistics database.
5. Mining & refining figures — World Gold Council, USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries, and reporting from publicly-traded miners.
6. Karat purity, weight standards — ISO 9202 (jewellery), NIST reference figures (US), British Indian Mints Act 1835 (tola/masha/ratti).

Every cited statistic includes the source and date in-line within the article body. We do not republish numbers from secondary aggregators without going to the primary source first.

AI-content & originality

Goldify Pro's articles are written and edited by humans on our editorial team. Research, examples, and analysis are prepared in-house. Where AI tools assist (e.g. grammar checks, outline drafting), the output is reviewed line-by-line by a human editor before publication and the final voice is human-authored.

We do not republish or scrape content from other websites. If you believe any portion of a Goldify Pro article infringes a copyright, please contact us at gold@goldify.pro and we will review promptly.

Conversely, our content is original and we ask the same — please do not scrape, republish, or use Goldify Pro articles to train AI models without prior written permission. We welcome citations and short excerpts under fair-use principles provided you link back to the original article.

Corrections & updates

If you spot a factual error, please email gold@goldify.pro with the article URL and the specific claim you believe is incorrect.

Our correction workflow:

1. Acknowledge within 24 hours. A human editor will confirm we've received your report.
2. Investigate within 72 hours. We verify the claim against the original source.
3. Correct or respond within one week. If you're right, we update the article and add a transparent correction note at the top showing what changed and when. If we disagree, we explain why.
4. Significant corrections trigger a `dateModified` update in the article's structured data, an updated badge visible to readers, and an entry in our internal corrections log.

Minor edits (typos, grammar, broken links) are made silently without a correction note. Substantive factual corrections are always disclosed.

Editorial independence, ownership & funding

Goldify Pro is independently owned and operated by Salman Saleem. The site is funded by display advertising via Google AdSense and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or paid to feature any bullion dealer, gold-backed cryptocurrency, gold-mining company, jeweller, or financial institution.

No outside party has editorial control over Goldify Pro's coverage, choice of topics, headlines, or conclusions. Advertisers cannot influence article content or placement.

The Goldify Pro team owns no positions in publicly-traded mining stocks, gold ETFs, or gold-backed cryptocurrencies. We do own physical gold (the editor is a working jeweller from a multi-generational family business) — this is disclosed transparently because our hands-on bullion-trade experience informs our coverage. We never recommend specific products we trade in our shop, and we never link to our shop from this site.
