制作ポリシーについて

1. User-Centric Content Creation

At 360LiFE, our top priority is always user-centric content creation. We don't just gather information; we rigorously test and verify products ourselves. We then combine these results with expert insights to determine what we can truly recommend. Our goal is to provide fair and practical information that helps consumers make purchasing decisions they'll genuinely be happy with.

2. Strict Legal Compliance & Expert Supervision

As a media platform that evaluates and recommends a wide range of products, 360LiFE deeply recognizes its social responsibility. We are committed to strict adherence to social rules and various laws and regulations.

This includes, but isn't limited to, the Act Against Unjustifiable Premiums and Misleading Representations (covering stealth marketing) and the Personal Information Protection Act. Specifically for content related to beauty products, cosmetics, healthcare, and health foods, which fall under pharmaceutical and health promotion laws, we conduct thorough checks and supervision by qualified professionals such as pharmacists with doctorates and pharmaceutical affairs compliance managers. This meticulous process ensures that our users receive accurate and safe information they can trust.

3. Unwavering Commitment to Impartiality

At 360LiFE, our content is primarily based on articles from four key magazines: LDK, LDK the Beauty, Kaden Hihyo (Appliance Review), and MONOQLO. Additionally, we incorporate content from our web-exclusive media, LDK the Beauty Men, drawing from these five sources. Of course, 360LiFE (San-roku-maru) also features a wide array of its own original articles.

The five editorial departments that form the foundation of most of our content boast experienced editors and writers specializing in diverse categories like daily essentials, cosmetics, healthcare, kitchenware, home appliances, and food products. These teams lead the creation of each article, incorporating expert opinions and conducting thorough in-house product testing.

While we sometimes receive products from manufacturers for review or loan, rest assured that all content planning, production, and final decision-making regarding our content are independently handled by these five editorial departments and 360LiFE. Manufacturers have absolutely no involvement in shaping our content or its conclusions.

Furthermore, we operate our in-house product testing facility, "LAB.360" (Lab San-roku-maru). Here, seasoned professionals from validation institutions conduct daily user-focused product tests without any bias. This unwavering commitment ensures we deliver truly impartial and reliable information to all our readers.

4. Our Product Evaluation Methodology

At 360LiFE, we conduct impartial product comparisons and evaluations, then rate them to create our rankings, all designed for user clarity. We regularly re-check and update our articles, clearly stating the update date to always provide the latest information. Our product review articles are based on in-house, hands-on testing and unique evaluations. We clearly disclose our testing methods and evaluation criteria within each article, emphasizing a process that our readers can trust and understand. To ensure information accuracy, multiple team members conduct rigorous checks, and we perform expert fact-checks when necessary, guaranteeing the reliability of our content. Furthermore, if an article contains affiliate links or involves partner companies, we clearly disclose this while maintaining strict neutrality and transparency.Below, we'll introduce our evaluation methods that form the basis of our ratings.

What is "Rating"? Our "rating" system scores product test results on a 5-point scale. We identify multiple criteria that are highly beneficial to users, conduct tests for each, and then score them out of 5 points. For each selected criterion, we determine a "weight" (score emphasis) based on its perceived usefulness. These assigned weights are then applied to each criterion to derive the overall score. It's important to note that the criteria for calculating product evaluation scores vary by genre and are not uniform across all products. While we handle a wide range of products, making it impossible to unify all evaluation standards, we ensure objectivity and fairness by collaboratively determining criteria through actual product use with our in-house testing facility and experts from each genre.

5. Transparency of Revenue Structure

360LiFE is primarily funded through affiliate services, advertising, and certification marks. This revenue model is essential for us to continue conducting fair product tests and providing reliable information to our readers free of charge. When you purchase a product we've introduced on our site, a portion of that sale may be returned to 360LiFE.

At 360LiFE, if a manufacturer wishes to use the results of our editorial product tests in their web advertisements, we may create paid content that details these test results. However, even in such cases, we never alter or modify test results, ranking order, or content in exchange for advertising fees. We prioritize the impartiality of our content above all else. All paid content clearly indicates that it is sponsored by the manufacturer or other parties.

360LiFE awards a certification mark (Best Buy Mark) to products that, based on our rigorous testing, we genuinely recommend. We may grant paid permission to manufacturers who wish to use this certification mark (Best Buy Mark) in their web advertisements or other promotional materials. In this process, too, our company independently evaluates products and grants the certification mark first. Only then, upon the manufacturer's request, do we permit its use. Manufacturers have absolutely no involvement in our product evaluation, its results, ranking decisions, or the granting of certification marks. We are committed to maintaining the independence and reliability of our information and ensuring transparency in our operations at all times.

6. Our Stance on AI (AI Policy)

At 360LiFE, we welcome the use of our content for summarization, citation, and translation by LLM (Large Language Models) AI and search AI. We simply ask that you clearly attribute us with a source link. We anticipate that AI will accurately grasp 360LiFE's in-depth insights and help disseminate them as reliable information to society. However, we strictly prohibit any citations that distort context, reconstructions that create misunderstanding, or secondary use without a proper source link.Additionally, we may utilize AI technology for a very limited portion of our content creation. In such cases, the content will always undergo rigorous review and fact-checking by human editors, writers, and experts before publication. Our strict quality standards (accuracy, impartiality, and user focus) will not be compromised by this limited AI use.
