How we prepare travel information, distinguish commercial content, and handle photographs, stories, corrections and publication rights.
1. Editorial responsibility
Visit-Nagaland.com is owned and operated by Lendlink Tech Private Limited. Our editorial purpose is to help people understand Nagaland and make informed travel arrangements. Information should be useful, clear and proportionate to the evidence available, rather than presented with certainty that the source cannot support.
A travel guide, a personal story, a business-supplied description and an advertisement are different types of content. Readers should be able to identify those differences. We do not invent visits, interviews, inspections, awards or first-hand experiences to make an article appear more authoritative.
2. Sources and updates
For permits, official restrictions and formal notices, we prioritise the responsible public authority. For operating details, we may use the provider’s information and appropriate local confirmation. Contributors can describe their own experiences, with the place and date made clear when material to the account.
We should identify important sources or link to them where practical. An “updated” date should reflect a meaningful review or change, not an automatic date refresh. A previous traveller’s experience does not prove that the same price, road condition or permission applies today.
If a material fact cannot be confirmed, the content should say what remains uncertain or omit the unsupported claim. We should not imply that all details on a page were independently inspected merely because one part of it was checked.
3. Business-supplied information
Business owners are responsible for their descriptions, prices, public contact details and representations. We may edit for clarity, remove unsupported claims and request evidence. Listing review does not constitute an inspection, licence or accreditation.
A label such as “location checked” must be limited to the check actually completed. It does not certify food safety, professional competence, vehicle fitness, legal compliance or current availability. Claims of accessibility, specialised services or official registration should be specific and supported.
4. Paid listings, sponsorship and advertisements
A paid business listing purchases the stated directory service. It does not purchase a favourable editorial conclusion or prevent publication of a substantiated correction. If a separate placement is sponsored or preferentially displayed because of payment, it should be clearly identified near the placement.
Sponsored articles, hosted visits, complimentary services and material commercial relationships should be disclosed where they could affect a reader’s assessment. An advertiser should not require a misleading claim, a fabricated testimonial or the concealment of important conditions.
If affiliate links are introduced, we will explain that a qualifying purchase may generate a commission and place a suitable disclosure where relevant. The existence of a possible commission does not justify an unsupported recommendation. This policy is not a representation that an affiliate or advertising service is already active.
5. Search ordering
The ordinary directory currently orders matching businesses by title, with a consistent internal tie-breaker. Category, district and price filters limit the matching records. The nearby tool orders eligible matching records by approximate straight-line distance from the selected point.
These are discovery tools, not a rating of overall quality. A business omitted by a price filter may simply lack a structured price. A business omitted from nearby results may lack an approved public pin. Any future sponsored placement or different ranking method must be described accurately and must not disguise payment as an independent recommendation.
6. Photographs and other creative work
Photographs, illustrations, video, writing and logos must have an appropriate rights basis. That can include our own original work, an applicable licence, written permission or a use allowed by law. A photograph being available online, appearing in a government publication or carrying a visible credit is not a universal permission for commercial reuse.
Where a government or tourism organisation permits reuse, we must respect the actual scope, attribution and restrictions. Third-party photographs identified within that organisation’s material may require the photographer’s separate authorisation. We do not describe a permission as granted before it has been received or confirmed under an applicable licence.
Credits should identify the creator or source as required. Cropping, retouching, resizing or promotional reuse must stay within the permission. We must not remove a watermark to conceal ownership or present a recognisable location, property or cultural event as something it is not.
7. Context, privacy and community consent
Copyright permission and the rights or expectations of people shown in an image are separate considerations. Contributors and businesses should have appropriate permission for identifiable people, particularly children, private ceremonies, homes and sensitive situations. Permission to take a photograph does not necessarily cover using it in an advertisement.
We should respect community restrictions on photography, sacred places and cultural material. Publicity should not expose a private home address, a vulnerable person or a sensitive natural location without a justified and appropriate basis. Embedded image metadata should be reviewed before publication where it could reveal private coordinates or identifying information.
8. Travel stories and contributor submissions
A contributor should submit work they created or are authorised to license. Personal travel stories should reflect the contributor’s actual experience. If several people created the text or photographs, explain who owns each contribution and how each person should be credited.
Submission is an invitation for editorial consideration, not a promise of acceptance, payment or a publication date. Before publication, we should confirm the agreed byline, photograph credit, scope of editing, publication rights and any payment or exclusivity arrangement. A contributor’s private email or telephone number will not be published merely because it accompanied a submission.
Our normal intended permission is non-exclusive: the contributor retains ownership while allowing the agreed article and supplied photographs to be edited for clarity, formatted and published on the website. Promotional excerpts or images, if wanted, should be specifically agreed rather than assumed to cover every advertising use. Material changes to the meaning of a personal account should be referred back to the contributor.
Contributors can ask for a correction or discuss withdrawal. We will consider the reason, any safety or privacy concern and the publication agreement. Removal from our website cannot guarantee deletion of third-party shares, search caches or copies already lawfully distributed.
9. Reviews and comments
If a public review or comment feature is enabled, submissions should be based on relevant, genuine experience. Fabricated reviews, undisclosed self-reviews, competitor harassment, threats, private personal details and unlawful content may be removed or declined. A critical account is not rejected merely because it is unfavourable to a paying business.
Businesses may be invited to respond to a substantive complaint, but must not publish a customer’s private travel, financial or identity information. Any rating system must explain what it measures and must not manufacture scores when no genuine review data exists. This section sets the standard for any such feature; it does not claim that public reviews are currently available.
10. Corrections and rights complaints
For an error, send the page link, the disputed statement, your proposed correction and a reliable source where available. For a rights complaint, identify the original work, the location of the disputed material, your authority to act and a contact address for a reply. Do not send more personal documentation than is needed to assess the issue.
We may temporarily restrict material while considering a credible complaint, ask the uploader for evidence or publish a correction. Serious privacy, impersonation and safety concerns should be identified prominently in the subject line. Legal notices will be handled under the applicable requirements.
A complaint should be made in good faith. We do not promise automatic removal solely because a business dislikes a factual account, nor do we insist that a rights holder accept continued use in return for a credit.
11. Reusing our material
You may share links to public articles and listings. For reproduction, syndication, commercial printing, image licensing or another use beyond applicable legal permissions, contact us with the material, purpose, audience and proposed distribution. We can authorise only rights that we hold or are entitled to grant.
