Publishing Rules & Transparency Standard

These rules keep Society of Timor trustworthy. They apply to every Organisation profile, programme and figure. Breaking them leads to removal of the content; repeated or serious breaches lead to account suspension.

Honest figures

• Transparency figures are computed from your accounting on the platform. Do not maintain a second set of books to make the page look better.
• Indicator values must be measured. If you did not count it, mark it “not measured” — a blank is honest, a guess is not.
• Audited statements uploaded must be the auditor’s document, unaltered.

Programmes

• Describe work that is happening or has happened. Planned work is labelled as planned.
• Photos must be of your own work, with the consent of the people in them; never of beneficiaries in sensitive services.
• Donor and partner logos only with their permission.

Fundraising

• Appeals must state what the money is for and who receives it.
• No fundraising for work the Organisation cannot deliver or for individuals in private capacity.

Prohibited

• Profiles for Organisations you do not represent
• Publishing any beneficiary-identifying information
• Discriminatory or political-party campaigning content
• Contact details or links placed to bypass platform safety features
