Advertising Disclosure

Last Updated: November 20, 2024

Our Commitment to Transparency

At Solstice Owl, we believe in maintaining complete transparency about our advertising relationships and revenue sources. This Advertising Disclosure explains how we may earn revenue through various advertising and partnership arrangements. We are committed to providing honest, unbiased information while being clear about any commercial relationships that may influence our content.

Affiliate Relationships

Affiliate Program Participation

We may participate in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn commissions when you click on certain links or make purchases through links on our website. These affiliate relationships help support our operations and allow us to continue providing valuable content and services.

Participating in affiliate programs does not influence our editorial decisions or recommendations. We only recommend products, services, or tools that we genuinely believe may be valuable to our audience.

Commission-Based Links

Some links on our website may be affiliate links, meaning we receive a commission if you make a purchase or take certain actions through those links. These commissions come at no additional cost to you and do not affect the price you pay for products or services.

We clearly identify affiliate links where required by law or when we believe such disclosure enhances transparency.

Product Recommendations

Any product recommendations we make are based on our honest assessment and professional judgment. We evaluate products and services based on their merit, functionality, and value to our audience, regardless of whether we have an affiliate relationship with the provider.

Financial Relationship Transparency

We maintain transparency about our financial relationships with third parties. Any compensation we receive through affiliate programs does not compromise our commitment to providing accurate, unbiased information and recommendations to our audience.

Sponsored Content and Partnerships

Identification of Sponsored Content

We may occasionally publish sponsored content or paid promotions. All sponsored content is clearly identified as such with appropriate labels including "Sponsored," "Advertisement," "Paid Promotion," or similar designations that make the commercial nature of the content clear to our audience.

Sponsored Post Guidelines

When we publish sponsored posts or content, we maintain editorial independence and ensure that the content provides value to our audience. Sponsors do not have control over our editorial content or opinions, though they may request certain topics or themes be addressed.

We reserve the right to decline sponsored content opportunities that do not align with our values or that we believe would not serve our audience's interests.

Brand Partnerships

We may enter into partnerships with brands, companies, or organizations whose products or services we believe align with our mission and values. These partnerships may include compensation in various forms, including monetary payment, free products, services, or other considerations.

Content Authenticity

Regardless of compensation received, all opinions expressed in sponsored content represent our genuine views. We maintain editorial integrity and provide honest assessments even in sponsored contexts.
