PRIVACY & TRUST

Use testimonials only when they are genuine

A testimonial should be a real statement with appropriate permission, not a sample review dressed as evidence. Product examples can still be useful when their illustrative nature is clearly stated.

A practical workflow

  1. Verify the source

    Keep a record of who provided the statement and what they approved for publication. Do not invent customer identities or outcomes.

  2. Preserve the meaning

    Edit for length only when the original point remains intact. Avoid combining several people into a single apparently real quote.

  3. Label examples

    If you are showing a sample draft or fictional dashboard, say so prominently. Keep it separate from customer success claims.

Avoid this mistake

Do not attach a stock portrait and business name to an invented endorsement.

What to check

Check source, permission and accurate presentation before publishing any testimonial.

Use the minimum information needed

A useful review or support message rarely needs a password, document number or detailed personal record. Check text, images and public replies for unnecessary information before sharing. The appropriate follow-up route depends on the issue; a public review thread is not a substitute for confidential support. reviewbuddy.in’s privacy and AI disclosure pages explain the service’s data processing.

A privacy explanation should tell people what information is collected and why. It should fit the actual service rather than making broad promises that.
