  • Bali local news & updates: regulatory changes, service improvements, promotions, community milestones

3. Accuracy, Sourcing, and Updates

We commit to accuracy above speed. Content is drafted from verified sources, reviewed by an editor, and revisited when laws or service details change.

Sources We Use

  • Indonesian regulations: UU ITE (Law No. 11/2008 as amended by Law No. 19/2016 and Law No. 1/2024) and PP 71/2019 (Penyelenggaraan Sistem dan Transaksi Elektronik/PSTE); plus police/pemerintah advisories and official websites
  • Direct communications with authorities, dealers, and insurers
  • Internal operational data (delivery times, rental patterns, vehicle maintenance logs)
  • First‑hand observations validated by at least one additional source

Fact‑Checking & Review

  • Editors validate key claims (laws, prices, processes) before publication
  • Legal/safety sections are re‑checked quarterly or when notified of changes
  • Inline clarifications are added when policies vary by locality or are under review

Versioning & Updates

  • Each article shows a “Last updated” date; significant changes include an Update note
  • When content materially changes guidance, we add a correction or revision notice
  • Superseded advice is removed or clearly marked to prevent confusion

4. Byline and Authorship

Posts list an author or are published by the Bali Ramah Rental Editorial Team. We avoid anonymity unless security or privacy constraints require it.

Authorship Standards

  • Writers must disclose relevant experience and potential conflicts
  • Ghostwriting is not used for editorial guidance; guest posts require attribution
  • Editors reserve the right to revise for clarity, accuracy, and tone

5. Images and Licensing

We use our own photos, licensed stock, or images used with permission. When required, we include attributions in captions or at the end of the article.

Licensing & Attribution

  • Internal media: © CV BBDINDOKAYA, all rights reserved
  • Third‑party media: licensed or used under explicit permission with attribution
  • User‑submitted media: used only with consent and removable upon request

AI‑Generated Imagery

  • We avoid using AI images that depict real events or people unless clearly labeled as illustrative
  • We do not use AI images to misrepresent reality or safety procedures

6. Advertising, Sponsorships, and Affiliates

Commercial relationships never decide our conclusions. We separate revenue from editorial decision‑making.

How We Label & Disclose

  • Sponsored articles are labeled “Sponsored” at the top of the article
  • Affiliate links include an adjacent or end‑of‑article disclosure
  • Paid placements, if any, are visually distinct from editorial modules

Reviews & Recommendations

  • We do not guarantee positive coverage in exchange for compensation
  • We state when a unit is loaned, discounted, or provided for testing
  • Editorial recommendations are based on criteria such as safety, reliability, and service quality

7. Corrections Policy

If we publish inaccurate information, we correct it promptly and add a dated notice describing the change.

Requesting a Correction

  • Email details to info@bali-ramah-scooter-rental.id with a link and proposed fix
  • We review within 3 business days; urgent safety issues are prioritized
  • Accepted corrections receive an “Update” or “Correction” note with timestamp

Severity Levels

  • Minor: grammar, formatting, inconsequential clarifications
  • Substantive: pricing, procedures, or policy changes affecting guidance
  • Critical: legal/safety guidance that could cause harm — fixed immediately with a visible notice

8. Conflicts of Interest

Team members disclose relationships that could influence coverage. When conflicts are material, we decline the assignment or include a clear disclosure.

Examples

  • Gifts, free stays, or paid travel are either declined or disclosed
  • Loaner vehicles for testing are returned; no compensation is accepted for positive coverage
  • Affiliate revenue never changes editorial conclusions

9. AI‑Assisted Content

We may use AI tools for outline creation, grammar, and style improvements. Final articles are human‑edited and approved. We do not allow third‑party AI providers to train on reader personal data.

Permitted

  • Grammar, clarity, and summarization assistance
  • Generation of checklists derived from verified internal knowledge
  • Localization and style harmonization

Prohibited

  • Fabricating facts, experiences, or quotes
  • Producing safety or legal guidance without human validation
  • Submitting user PII to external models without legal basis and consent
