Every article on Brinque e Ganhe is signed by the Brinque e Ganhe Team. This page explains who is behind the site, how our guides are researched and written, which sources we use and how we fix mistakes.
Who we are
Brinque e Ganhe is an independent guide to everyday technology for older adults and their families, run by Cifra ADS. The Brinque e Ganhe Team is the site’s editorial staff: we plan, research, write and update the articles on digital essentials, online safety, tech for well-being and games and discovery. We sign as a team because each article goes through more than one stage of work before it is published.
Our mission
To make smartphones, tablets, computers and apps less intimidating, with patient, step-by-step explanations that help you stay connected, independent and safe online.
How our articles are made
- Topic: we start from real questions older adults and caregivers ask and avoid repeating subjects the site already covers.
- Research: settings, menus and safety advice are checked against official documentation and public agencies before they go into the text.
- Writing: each guide explains the subject step by step, in plain language. We use digital tools, including artificial intelligence, to support research and drafting; nothing is published without being checked against a source.
- Review: before publishing we review steps, product names and safety recommendations. If a claim cannot be confirmed, it is left out.
Sources we use
- Official support pages from Apple, Google, Microsoft, Samsung and app developers, for settings and features. This is not an endorsement of any brand.
- Consumer protection and cybersecurity agencies, such as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), CISA and the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center, for scams and online safety.
- Health institutions, such as the National Institute on Aging (NIH) and the World Health Organization, when an article touches on health, sleep, exercise or memory.
- Accessibility guidelines from the W3C and device makers, for vision, hearing and motor accessibility features.
Reviews and updates
Apps and devices change often, so we review our guides periodically and whenever a menu, feature or scam pattern changes. When an article is substantially revised, we update it so readers always find current steps.
Corrections
Found something wrong or out of date? Write to us through the Contact Us page with the article link and the passage in question. We read every message and, when an error is confirmed, we correct the article.
Editorial independence
- The site is supported by advertising. Ads are shown separately from the text, and advertisers do not choose topics, review articles or influence our conclusions.
- We do not sell devices or apps, we do not run prize draws, and we are not paid by brands to recommend products. If we ever publish sponsored content, it will be clearly labeled.
- We will never ask for your passwords, bank details or payment. Anyone using our name to do so is a scammer.
Important note
Our content is informational and is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about health decisions, including any health app or device. If you think you have been scammed, contact your bank and the authorities right away.
