Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: 7 January 2026
Our Commitment to Transparency
At Kinworth, we believe in complete transparency regarding any financial relationships or advertising arrangements that may influence the content on our website. This Advertising Disclosure explains our policies on affiliate relationships, sponsored content, and third-party advertising.
We are committed to maintaining the trust of our visitors and clients by clearly disclosing any compensation we receive and ensuring that all recommendations are based on genuine professional assessment rather than financial incentives.
Affiliate Relationships
Affiliate Programme Participation
Kinworth may participate in affiliate marketing programmes from time to time. This means that if you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.
Any affiliate links or relationships will be clearly disclosed. We only recommend products, services, or tools that we believe would genuinely benefit our clients and align with our professional standards.
Commission-Based Links
When we include affiliate links, we:
- Clearly mark them as affiliate links or sponsored recommendations
- Only promote products or services we have evaluated and believe to be valuable
- Maintain editorial independence in our assessments and recommendations
- Disclose any material connections that could affect your perception of our content
Product Recommendations
Our product and service recommendations are based on professional assessment, industry research, and client needs. While we may receive compensation for some recommendations, this does not influence our professional judgment. We prioritise your interests and will clearly disclose any financial relationships.
Financial Relationship Transparency
We believe transparency builds trust. If we have a financial relationship with a company whose products or services we mention, we will disclose this relationship clearly and prominently. You deserve to know when our recommendations might be influenced by compensation arrangements.
Sponsored Content and Paid Promotions
Identification of Paid Content
Any content that is sponsored or paid for by a third party will be clearly identified as such. We use clear labelling such as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," or similar designations to ensure you can easily distinguish sponsored content from our regular content.
Sponsored content may appear on our website in various forms including articles, case studies, or featured resources. Regardless of format, it will always be appropriately labelled.
Sponsored Post Policies
When we publish sponsored content:
- We maintain editorial control and ensure content meets our quality standards
- Content must be relevant and valuable to our audience
- Sponsors cannot dictate our editorial opinions or require positive coverage
- We reserve the right to decline sponsored content that doesn't align with our values
Brand Partnership Disclosures
If we enter into partnerships with brands or companies, these relationships will be disclosed clearly. Partnership arrangements do not compromise our professional integrity or the quality of our consulting services. Our primary obligation remains to our clients and their organisational success.
Content Authenticity
Whether content is sponsored or organic, we ensure it provides genuine value. We do not publish content solely for promotional purposes. All content, including sponsored material, must meet our standards for accuracy, relevance, and usefulness to our audience.
