Founder and editorial spokesperson
Founder, CEO & Editorial Lead
Nguyen Van Dinh
Nguyen Van Dinh can comment on CandidCodes methodology, coupon evidence, affiliate transparency, store-policy research, buyer-guide standards, software pricing, and the correction process. A media request should identify the publication, topic, deadline, intended format, and whether comments will be edited or quoted directly.
How to submit a media request
- Identify yourself: include your name, publication, role, and a working contact route.
- Define the topic: state the question, article focus, and the CandidCodes page or research area involved.
- Give the deadline: include the date, time zone, and whether the request is for written, audio, or video comment.
- Explain attribution: state whether the response will be on the record, background, or subject to another agreed status.
- Request current facts: ask CandidCodes to confirm time-sensitive information instead of relying on an older third-party profile.
CandidCodes cannot guarantee participation in every request. Lack of a response should not be presented as confirmation of a claim.
Logos, images, screenshots, and attribution
Do not assume that an image found through search is approved for reuse. Request the current asset, intended credit line, file format, and any use limitation through the media contact.
Website screenshots
Identify the CandidCodes page and capture date. Do not crop or edit a screenshot in a way that changes the meaning of a disclosure, price, limitation, or conclusion.
Quotes
Quote the exact wording and link to the source page where practical. Paraphrases should not turn a qualified observation into a universal guarantee.
Founder image
Ask for the current approved image and credit instruction before publication. An avatar used on CandidCodes is not a blanket license for every external commercial use.
Brand name
Write the publication name as CandidCodes. Do not imply an endorsement, certification, partnership, or corporate affiliation that has not been confirmed.
Editorial and commercial boundaries
CandidCodes may earn compensation from qualifying actions through affiliate links. That support does not establish the truth of a merchant claim or give a partner authority over coverage.
- Affiliate availability is not proof that a code works or a store is suitable.
- Merchant documentation may be used as a primary source for its own terms, with attribution and limitations.
- A factual correction is assessed using evidence; commercial pressure is not a correction standard.
- Research-led coverage is not described as a completed purchase or hands-on test unless that action occurred.
- Scores, rankings, or conclusions should not be described as certifications or guarantees.
Read the Editorial Policy and Disclosure Policy.
Press corrections and fact checking
Journalists and editors may send a narrow fact-check request before publication or report an inaccurate external description of CandidCodes. Include the exact proposed wording, source, deadline, and the fact requiring confirmation.
CandidCodes may confirm its own current pages, leadership, methodology, and stated policies. It cannot verify an independent merchant's private order data, unpublished financial claims, third-party audience estimates, or facts outside CandidCodes' records and research scope.
Frequently asked questions
Can CandidCodes provide current audience or revenue figures?
Only use figures supplied or confirmed for the specific request. CandidCodes does not publish unverified estimates on this page, and older third-party figures should not be treated as current.
Can a merchant commission favorable coverage?
No affiliate relationship guarantees a positive conclusion, placement, or removal of supported limitations. A separate sponsored arrangement should be disclosed if one exists.
Can media quote CandidCodes methodology pages?
Short, accurately attributed excerpts or paraphrases may be used as permitted by law. Link to the source and preserve qualifications, dates, and evidence limits.
Where should urgent requests be sent?
Use the published media contact with “Press request” in the subject and include the exact deadline and time zone.
