What Are Affiliate Relationships

Kindred Signal may participate in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may receive compensation when you click on certain links or make purchases through our website. These affiliate relationships allow us to earn commissions at no additional cost to you while supporting our ability to provide valuable content and services.

How Affiliate Links Work

When we include affiliate links in our content, we may earn a small commission if you make a purchase or take a specific action through that link. These commissions help support our work and operations but do not influence the price you pay for products or services.

• • You pay the same price whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the provider
• • We receive a commission from the seller or service provider, not from you
• • Using our affiliate links supports our work at no cost to you

Our Recommendation Standards

We maintain strict standards for the products, services, and resources we recommend. Our affiliate relationships do not compromise our editorial integrity. We only recommend products or services that align with our values, provide genuine value to our audience, have been evaluated based on quality and relevance, and support the goals of building meaningful brand connections.

Identification of Sponsored Content

From time to time, we may publish content sponsored by brands, organizations, or service providers. Any sponsored content will be clearly labeled and disclosed at the beginning of the material. We ensure transparency about which content is paid for and which represents our independent editorial voice.

Sponsored Content Guidelines

When we create sponsored content, we maintain specific standards to protect our audience and preserve our credibility. All sponsored content is clearly marked with disclosures such as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," or similar language. We retain editorial control over how sponsored content is presented. Sponsored content must align with our values and provide genuine value to our audience. We will not promote products or services we believe are misleading or harmful.

Brand Partnerships

We may form ongoing partnerships with brands whose values align with ours and whose products or services benefit our audience. These partnerships may include various forms of collaboration and compensation. All such relationships are disclosed appropriately within the relevant content.
