Commission-Based Links

Some links on our website may be affiliate links. When you click on these links and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. These affiliate links help support our business and allow us to continue providing valuable content and services.

Our Product Recommendation Policy

We want to emphasize the following principles regarding our recommendations:

• Genuine Experience: We only recommend products and services that we have personally used, researched, or believe will provide genuine value to our clients and audience.
• No Influence on Integrity: The existence of an affiliate relationship does not influence our professional opinions or recommendations. We maintain editorial independence.
• Quality Over Commission: We prioritize recommending high-quality products and services that we believe will benefit you, even if alternative options might generate higher commissions.
• Honest Reviews: Our reviews and recommendations reflect our genuine assessment and are not biased by financial relationships.

Financial Relationship Transparency

When we recommend a product or service for which we receive compensation, we strive to disclose this relationship clearly. You will see indicators such as "affiliate link," "partner link," or similar language near the recommendation. However, the absence of such a label does not necessarily mean we are not compensated.

Identification of Sponsored Content

From time to time, we may publish sponsored content or paid promotions on our website or through our communications channels. All sponsored content will be clearly identified with labels such as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," "Advertisement," or similar disclosure language.

Sponsored Post Labeling

When we publish sponsored posts or content, we ensure clear disclosure through:

• Prominent labeling at the beginning of the content
• Clear statement of the sponsoring entity
• Distinguishable formatting or visual indicators
• Disclosure statements where appropriate

Brand Partnership Disclosures

If we enter into brand partnerships or collaborative arrangements that involve compensation, we will disclose these relationships. Our partnerships are selected based on alignment with our values and relevance to our audience's interests in agile practices and professional development.

Content Authenticity Guarantee

Even when content is sponsored, we maintain editorial control and ensure that all information provided is accurate, valuable, and aligned with our professional standards. We do not publish sponsored content that we believe would mislead our audience or compromise our integrity.
