This policy is valid from 01 June 2013 and last modified 01 August 2019 to add additional information, modified earlier in 2019 by including two FTC links. It will be modified when circumstances warrant. Also check out my November 2018 blog post – Should You Add Affiliate Links and Other Endorsements on Your Blog?.

This blog is a personal blog written and edited by me. On occasion, guest bloggers may post. This blog does not accept any form of advertising, sponsorship, or paid insertions. We write for our own purposes. However, we may be influenced by our background, occupation, religion, political affiliation, or experience. 

The owner of this blog is not compensated to provide opinion on products, services, websites and various other topics. The views and opinions expressed on this blog are purely the blog owners. If we claim or appear to be experts on a certain topic or product or service area, we will only endorse products or services that we believe, based on our expertise, are worthy of such endorsement. Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer or provider.

This blog may, on occasion, contain content which might present a conflict of interest. This content will always be identified. 

If the blog starts utilizing ads, affiliate banners, or other forms of revenue generation, the following will apply:

The compensation received will never influence the content, topics or posts made in this blog. All advertising is in the form of advertisements generated by a third-party ad network. Those advertisements will be identified as paid advertisements.
