Affiliate disclosure
No affiliate links in the launch edition.
Commercial relationships should be visible, understandable and separate from the evidence behind a recommendation.
Launch position
The launch guides contain no affiliate links, paid placements or product sponsorships. Footwear guidance uses fit and function criteria rather than a ranked product list.
If commercial links are added later
- The relationship will be disclosed before the first commercial link.
- Links that can earn commission will use the sponsored relationship attribute.
- Payment will not determine an editorial conclusion.
- Selection criteria and any first-hand testing will be described.
- Health and safety boundaries will not be weakened to support a sale.
Corrections and conflicts
A material commercial relationship will be recorded on the relevant guide. Readers can report a missing or unclear disclosure to datademonsystems@gmail.com.
