This policy explains how Radar Panamá chooses, verifies, signs, updates and corrects what it publishes, and how it discloses its commercial relationships. It applies equally to the Spanish edition and the English edition.
1. What Radar Panamá is and what it covers
Radar Panamá is a bilingual digital outlet about business, investment and services in Panama. It publishes practical guides, current news, rankings, interviews and studies based on its own data about procedures, taxes, companies, employment, real estate, health and wellness, and professional services. Its goal is for entrepreneurs, investors, professionals and residents to have clear, dated and verifiable information. The publication is owned by Prensa12 LLC.
2. How information is verified
- Primary sources first: laws, decrees and official gazettes, official bodies, companies and identifiable studies. Secondary sources are used for context and flagged as such.
- Deep links: every relevant fact links to the exact page or document that supports it, not to a site’s home page.
- Own figures: published together with the methodology used to obtain them.
- Tone: informative and in the third person. Sensationalism is avoided and context is provided.
- When sources contradict each other: the official text prevails and the difference is explained in the article.
3. Dates and updates
Each article shows its publication date and, when it is substantially modified, its update date. Data that changes often, such as rules, deadlines and official amounts, is reviewed when there are changes and, at a minimum, every six months. When an event has already taken place, the piece is marked with an update notice at the top and kept as a record.
4. Rankings and comparisons
Rankings and comparisons include real companies in the sector, selected and ordered by criteria explained in the article itself. No company can pay to appear in a ranking or for its position. If a ranked company has a collaboration relationship with Radar Panamá, the article states it in the label at the top.
5. Independence and commercial relationships
- Advertising: identified as such.
- Collaborations: Radar Panamá has collaboration relationships with some of the companies it mentions. When such a relationship exists, the article states it at the top with the label In collaboration with and the company name, and links to that company carry the
rel="sponsored"attribute. - Standards: the collaboration does not change the standard. Data is checked against official sources and the analysis follows the same rules as the rest of the content.
- Opinions: those of interviewees are their own and do not necessarily represent the position of the publication.

6. Authorship and responsible editor
Each piece is signed by an author identified by their real name and public profile on the site, or by the Editorial team for brief news items. Guest experts sign with their name and position. Editorial direction and final responsibility for what is published rest with Deilys Carolina Romero de Araujo, editor-in-chief. Meet the team on About us.
7. Health, legal and financial content
Guides on health, legal procedures, taxes or investment are informational and do not replace the advice of a licensed professional. When a clinic, a law firm or a specialist is cited, they are identified by name and what they state is attributed to them. Decisions about each person’s own case should be taken with a lawyer, an accountant, a doctor or another competent professional.
8. Use of artificial intelligence
The team may use artificial intelligence tools as support for documentation, transcription, summarising, translation or editing. Final review and responsibility for each piece are always human, and data is checked against sources before publication. Video narration generated with a synthetic voice is labelled as such.
9. Images and third-party data
Images come from free-to-use image banks, from the publication’s own material, or from material provided or authorised by the company the piece is about. Third-party data is cited with its source and is not reproduced beyond what is needed to inform.
10. Corrections, updates and retractions
- Corrections: factual errors are corrected in the article itself. If the correction changes the meaning of the piece, a note with the date and what changed is added at the bottom.
- Updates: it is indicated when a story or a rule evolves, and the visible date is changed.
- Retractions: substantially incorrect content is withdrawn or rectified with a note.
Anyone can request a correction or provide a source by writing to redaccion@radarpanama.com or by phone and WhatsApp at +507 6237-8640. Requests are answered with a review of the piece.
