Advertising Disclosure

Affiliate Program Participation

Velomar participates in affiliate marketing programs with selected service providers and software platforms. When we recommend tools, resources, or services through affiliate links, we may receive a commission if you make a purchase or sign up through those links.

These relationships include partnerships with marketing software providers, analytics platforms, professional development resources, and business services that we believe offer genuine value to organizations seeking to improve their market positioning.

Commission Structure Disclosure

Affiliate commissions vary by partner and product category. Some partnerships provide one-time commissions based on initial purchases, while others offer recurring commissions for ongoing subscriptions. The commission we receive does not affect the price you pay for products or services.

Product Recommendation Policy

Our recommendations are based on several factors:

• • Direct experience using the product or service in our own work
• • Feedback from clients who have implemented the solution
• • Industry reputation and proven track record
• • Value proposition and appropriateness for typical organizational needs
• • Alignment with our strategic methodology and principles

While affiliate relationships provide financial benefit, they do not determine our recommendations. We regularly recommend non-affiliate products when they better serve our clients' needs.

Financial Relationship Transparency

Where practical, we identify affiliate relationships at the point of recommendation. However, not all links may be explicitly marked due to the nature of content distribution. You should assume that any external link to a commercial product or service may generate affiliate income.

Identification of Sponsored Material

Any content created in exchange for compensation from brands, service providers, or other commercial entities will be clearly identified as sponsored content. This includes articles, case studies, guides, or other materials that feature specific products or services in exchange for payment.

Sponsored Post Labeling

Sponsored content carries clear disclosure through:

• • Prominent labels such as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," or "Advertisement"
• • Disclosure statements at the beginning of content
• • Clear differentiation from editorial content in visual presentation
• • Identification of the sponsoring organization

Brand Partnership Disclosure

We maintain selective brand partnerships with organizations whose values align with our approach to strategic marketing. These partnerships may involve ongoing collaboration, joint content creation, or co-branded initiatives. All such relationships are disclosed when relevant content appears.

Content Authenticity Guarantee

Sponsored content maintains the same standards of quality and accuracy as our editorial content. Sponsors do not control our opinions or dictate content beyond basic brand alignment. We reserve the right to decline sponsorship opportunities that compromise our editorial integrity or misalign with our values.

Display Advertising Networks

Our website may display advertisements through third-party advertising networks. These networks serve targeted advertisements based on your browsing behavior and interests. We do not directly control which specific ads appear, though we maintain standards for acceptable advertising content.

Behavioral Targeting Disclosure

Advertising networks use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your online activity and deliver personalized advertisements. This practice, known as behavioral targeting or interest-based advertising, allows advertisers to show you ads more relevant to your interests.

Cookie Usage for Advertising

Third-party advertisers may place cookies on your device to track ad performance, prevent duplicate ad displays, and measure campaign effectiveness. These cookies are governed by the privacy policies of the respective advertising networks. For more information, see our Cookie Policy.

Ad Personalization Practices

Personalized advertising may be based on:

• • Pages you visit on our website and duration of visits
• • Your browsing history across other websites in advertising networks
• • Demographic information inferred from your online behavior
• • Geographic location based on IP address

Ad Preference Management

You have several options to control the advertising you see. Most advertising networks provide preference centers where you can opt out of personalized advertising or adjust targeting parameters. These preferences are typically managed through cookies, so opting out on one device or browser does not affect others.

Opt-Out Procedures

To limit personalized advertising:

• • Visit advertising network preference centers through their websites
• • Use industry opt-out tools for multiple networks simultaneously
• • Enable browser settings to block third-party cookies
• • Install browser extensions designed to limit tracking

Note that opting out of personalized advertising does not eliminate all advertisements. You will still see ads, but they may be less relevant to your interests.

Data Collection for Advertising

Information collected for advertising purposes includes browsing patterns, device information, and inferred interests. This data is typically anonymized and used in aggregate form. For detailed information about data collection and use, refer to our Privacy Policy.

Rights Under Privacy Regulations

Depending on your location, privacy regulations may grant you specific rights regarding advertising data collection. These may include rights to access collected data, request deletion, or restrict certain types of processing. Contact us to exercise these rights or for more information about your options.

Advertising Standards Adherence

We strive to comply with advertising standards and consumer protection regulations applicable in Australia and other jurisdictions where our content is accessible. This includes truthful representation of products, clear disclosure of material connections, and avoidance of deceptive practices.

Material Connection Disclosure

When we have a material connection to a product or service being discussed such as receiving compensation, free products, or other benefits that disclosure is made clear to readers. This ensures you can evaluate our recommendations with full awareness of potential influences.

Truthful Representation

All advertising content, whether created by us or third parties, must meet standards for truthfulness and substantiation. Claims about products or services should be supportable and not misleading. We reserve the right to reject advertising that fails to meet these standards.
