Editorial Policy — Steepline Mag

1. About

Steepline Mag is dedicated to surf culture, big-wave riding, and oceanic lifestyle. We are committed to delivering reliable, verified, and relevant information to our community.

2. Our Principles

  • Accuracy: We strive to publish correct facts and promptly correct any detected error.

  • Transparency: Every article lists its author, sources, and publication date.

  • Ethics: We reject plagiarism, unauthorised content copying, and information manipulation.

  • Independence: While we may publish branded content or sponsorships, these are clearly identified as such.

  • Respect: All topics are treated with respect for individuals, communities and the environment.

3. Editorial Process

  1. Topics are selected based on timeliness, their relevance to our readers and our editorial line.

  2. The journalist writes a draft which is reviewed by an editor to ensure consistency, spelling, and adherence to our principles.

  3. Before publishing, sources are verified: quotes, images, technical or scientific data.

  4. After publication, articles may be updated if information evolves. Any major change is noted with an “Updated on” marker at the end of the article.

4. Corrections and Updates

If you spot an error or wish to report a problematic piece of content, please contact us at [contact@steeplinemag.com] or via our Contact page. We commit to review your request as soon as possible and publish a correction if needed.

5. Advertising and Partnerships

We collaborate with advertisers and partners, but such collaborations are clearly identified. Sponsored articles or branded content are labeled “Sponsored” or “Editorial Partnership”. Our editors are under no pressure from advertisers regarding editorial content or conclusions.

6. Personal Data Protection

We respect our users’ privacy. Data collected is limited to what is necessary for our services (comments, newsletter sign-up). We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties without explicit consent. For more details, see our [Privacy Policy].

7. Policy Updates

This editorial policy may be revised to stay aligned with best practices. The online version is the official one. Last update: October 21 2025.
