DISCLOSURE POLICY
Our Commitment to Transparency
At Edenbooming we believe in complete transparency with our readers. This Disclosure Policy explains the various ways our blog earns income and how that may or may not influence the content we publish. We are committed to providing honest, accurate, and helpful information — always.
1. FTC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
| In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising,” Edenbooming discloses all material connections with brands, companies, and products that may influence our content. This includes, but is not limited to, affiliate relationships, sponsored content, gifted products, and advertising relationships. |
2. AFFILIATE MARKETING DISCLOSURE
Edenbooming participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that when you click certain links on our website and make a purchase, we may receive a commission — at no additional cost to you.
Affiliate programmes we participate in include, but are not limited to:
- Amazon Associates — We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
- ShareASale — We participate in affiliate programs available through the ShareASale network.
- Impact Radius — We participate in affiliate programs available through Impact.
- Direct affiliate programs—including but not limited to Seeds Now, Botanical Interests, AeroGarden, Click & Grow, The Sill, Gardener’s Supply Company, and other gardening brands.
Affiliate links are typically identified by a disclosure statement at the top of articles containing them. Our standard disclosure reads, “This post contains affiliate links. If you click a link and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.”
We only participate in affiliate programs for products and services we genuinely believe provide value to our readers. Our editorial opinions are never for sale — we will always share our honest assessment of any product, including its limitations.
3. DISPLAY ADVERTISING DISCLOSURE
Edenbooming displays third-party advertisements through Google AdSense, Mediavine, and/or other advertising networks. These ad networks may use cookies and similar technologies to serve personalized advertisements based on your browsing behavior.
We are paid when visitors view or interact with these ads. We do not control which specific ads are displayed, and the display of an ad does not constitute our endorsement of the advertiser’s products or services.
You can opt out of personalized advertising at: adssettings.google.com
4. SPONSORED CONTENT DISCLOSURE
From time to time, brands and companies may pay us to create content about their products or services. When this occurs, we will clearly label such content as “Sponsored” or “Paid Partnership” at the top of the post.
Even when content is sponsored, we maintain full editorial control over what we write. We only accept sponsorships from brands whose products and values align with our commitment to organic gardening, sustainable practices, and genuine helpfulness to our readers. We will always share our honest assessment, including any limitations of the product.
5. GIFTED PRODUCTS DISCLOSURE
Brands and PR agencies occasionally send us complimentary products for review purposes. When we review a product that was provided to us free of charge, we disclose this in the article using language such as “This product was gifted to us for review” or “We received this product at no cost.”
Receiving a product for free does not guarantee a positive review. We maintain our editorial independence and will always share our genuine experience with any product.
6. DIGITAL PRODUCTS
Edenbooming creates and sells its own digital products, including eBooks, printable planners, and online courses. When we mention or recommend our own products within blog content, we are the creator and direct financial beneficiary of any resulting sale. We will disclose this clearly where relevant.
7. EDITORIAL INDEPENDENCE
Our content decisions are based on what we believe is most useful to our readers — not on what generates the most affiliate commissions or advertising revenue. We are committed to:
- Never writing a positive review of a product we do not genuinely recommend
- Never hiding negative aspects of products to protect affiliate income
- Always disclosing material connections between our content and our income
- Clearly labelling all sponsored content, paid partnerships, and gifted product reviews
- Removing affiliate links from articles about products we no longer recommend
8. ACCURACY AND UPDATES
We make every effort to ensure the accuracy of information published on this blog. However, gardening conditions, product availability, and pricing change frequently. Information that was accurate at the time of publication may become outdated.
We update our content regularly, but if you notice an inaccuracy, please contact us at info@edenbooming.com and we will investigate and correct it promptly.
