Conflict of Interest Policy

Effective Date: June 2026

SkyReviews Editorial TeamReviewed by Preeti S. · Last updated:

1. Context & Purpose

Because SkyReviews.us and Sky States share corporate ownership, a inherent potential conflict of interest exists. If left unmanaged, this could compromise review integrity, lead to suppressed criticism, or inflate rating metrics.

This Conflict of Interest (COI) policy defines the boundaries, structural separations, and absolute restrictions designed to keep our editorial assessments completely independent.

2. Separation of Teams

We enforce strict separation of duties and reporting structures:

  • No Editorial Pre-Screening: No review, course evaluation, or article is shared with Sky States' sales, marketing, or admissions teams prior to publication.
  • Reporting Isolation: The managing editor of SkyReviews.us does not report to any commercial coordinator or marketing executive of Sky States.
  • Separate Communication Channels: Communication between the editorial staff and the training product staff is restricted to formal requests for clarification or factual responses.

3. Positive & Negative Feedback

We do not filter negative feedback. All student reviews, complaints, and rating points are processed strictly using our rating rubric and verification methodology. Sky States cannot request or require the deletion or alteration of a verified student review under any circumstances.

4. Commitment & Whistleblowing

If any editorial member feels pressured to adjust ratings or omit critiques, they have the right to request a formal review. In the event that our editorial independence is ever compromised, we commit to publishing a notice on this portal.
