TRANSPARENCY

Trust should be earned, not assumed.

RescueHero should make important public claims understandable, examinable and clear about their limits.

WHAT TRANSPARENCY MEANS

Make important claims easy to inspect.

A visitor should be able to understand what a claim means, what supports it and where its limitations begin.

If the evidence is not available, RescueHero says so rather than presenting uncertainty as fact.

Public information should be appropriately sourced, defined and scoped. Information on this website alone does not prove that a service, financial activity, or other outcome has occurred.

When something cannot be confirmed, this website makes that uncertainty clear.

TRUST & VERIFICATION

A verification signal should be explainable.

Verification is part of the experience, not a guarantee.

Verification does not mean universal legitimacy, zero risk or guaranteed outcomes.

Claim

A RescueHero verification signal communicates an applicable verification status within its stated scope.

Meaning

The signal should be read only according to the public explanation attached to that status.

Evidence

Exact criteria and status definitions will be published when they can be verified.

Limitation

Verification is not a guarantee of legitimacy, future conduct or outcomes.

DONATIONS & MONEY

Two support actions. Two different meanings.

Support for RescueHero and support for an individual rescuer are different actions, so it is important to understand each one clearly.

IMPACT METHODOLOGY

Every public metric needs a definition, not just a large number.

Future public metrics should explain how they were defined, sourced, scoped and limited before anyone is asked to interpret them.

Definition: What exactly is being counted or measured.
Source: Which source supports the measure.
Scope: What is included and excluded.
Reporting period / cadence: Which period the measure covers and how often it is refreshed.
Limitation: What a visitor should not infer from the measure.
