Our Mission

At BoredPanda, we believe in the power of creativity to inspire, entertain, and bring people together. We are a lighthearted, community-driven platform where stories spark curiosity and joy. While our content celebrates fun and imagination, we take our ethical responsibilities seriously. We aim to provide a space where creativity thrives on trust, respect, and human integrity. 

Editorial Principles

  • Accuracy and truthfulness: Every story published on BoredPanda is expected to be accurate and responsibly sourced. We fact-check information to the best of our ability and avoid misleading or sensational claims.
  • Transparency: Readers deserve to know where our stories come from. We disclose our sources and any potential conflicts of interest.
  • Independence: Our editorial decisions are made without influence from advertisers, sponsors, or partners.

AI, Human Authorship, and Content Creation

Commitment to Human Originality

At BoredPanda, all editorial articles, news summaries, and core narrative texts are written, edited, and fact-checked by human writers and editors. We are committed to human authorship as the foundation of our creative voice and editorial integrity. We do not use Generative AI to produce the primary text of our articles.

AI as a Creative Tool

We acknowledge that AI is a powerful tool. When AI-powered tools are used in our content pipeline – for instance, in the generation of concept art, visual mock-ups, preliminary data analysis, or translation assistance – we are transparent about their use and ensure they never replace the original creativity, critical thinking, and ethical responsibility of our human team. We balance innovation with a strong commitment to originality, creativity, and fairness. Our audience will always know when AI has been used in the creative process of visual or supplementary elements.

Accuracy And Corrections

Mistakes sometimes happen, and when they do, we correct them promptly. We update the content with a clear correction note if a factual error is identified. Spelling and style changes are silently updated, but factual corrections are always acknowledged. Accountability builds trust, and we are committed to both.

Respect for Creativity And Copyright

BoredPanda is built on the creativity of artists, photographers, and storytellers. We respect intellectual property rights and always credit creators properly. We only use content with permission, under fair use, or in the public domain. Supporting original creators is a cornerstone of our values.

Community And User-Generated Content

Our community is at the heart of BoredPanda. We welcome contributions from readers and creators worldwide, but we maintain clear guidelines to ensure that participation is respectful and constructive. We don’t tolerate hate speech, harassment, or spreading false information. Submissions are moderated, and we encourage civil, kind, and inclusive dialogue.

Privacy And Data Protection

We take privacy seriously. BoredPanda complies with GDPR, CCPA, and other relevant privacy regulations. We don’t share personal information without consent and handle all user data with care and security. When stories involve individuals, we respect their privacy and maintain strict ethical standards to protect minors, vulnerable people, and those who have not consented to being featured. We only publish personal details with appropriate permissions.

For detailed information on how we handle user rights, data protection, and site usage, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Our audience and contributors come from around the globe, and we are committed to representing that diversity. We aim to highlight various voices, perspectives, and experiences. Storyline inclusivity isn’t just an editorial choice but an ethical obligation.

Accessibility

Creativity should be for everyone. We prioritize accessible design and publishing practices: alt text for images, video captions, mobile-friendly layouts, and clear, simple navigation. Accessibility is not just a technical standard; it is part of making BoredPanda a space where all readers feel welcome.

Transparency in Monetization

Some of our content includes affiliate links, brand collaborations, or sponsored posts. Whenever this is the case, we clearly label it. Revenue supports our platform, but it never dictates what we publish. Editorial independence always comes first, and recommendations are made with readers in mind, never advertisers.

Respectful discussion in comments and social channels is encouraged and supported by clear moderation guidelines.
