The rules state that the dpa is strictly non-partisan, bound to no denomination or ideology, and economically independent, and that the fact-checking team independently decides which claims to fact-check.

dpa-factchecking is described as a company of the German Press Agency (dpa) with the specialization in fact checks. Its website publishes fact checks under country editions for Germany, Austria, Belgium and Luxembourg. The published fact-checking rules explain that the dpa fact check is strictly speaking a claim check, in which the team asks "Is that true?" and transparently shows how it reached its assessment, focusing on current, socially relevant topics with discussion value. The journalists of the Deutsche Presse-Agentur formulate the fact checks as transparently as possible and account for their research and working methods, for example by linking all public information used in the texts. The stated goal is that readers can use the links to carry out the fact check themselves and form their own fact-based opinion. The rules state that expressions of opinion cannot be checked in a fact check, that the dpa is strictly non-partisan, bound to no denomination or ideology and economically independent, that no social or political stance is decisive but only the spirit of the Grundgesetz, that no voting recommendations are given and no ties are entered into with political or other organizations that would endanger independence, and that the fact-checking team independently decides which claims to fact-check.
