Advertising Disclosure

Last updated: January 2, 2026

At Shikaku-do, we believe in complete transparency about our advertising relationships and any financial arrangements that may influence the content we present. This disclosure policy explains how we handle affiliate relationships, sponsored content, and advertising on our website.

Our Commitment to Transparency

We are committed to maintaining editorial integrity and ensuring our audience can make informed decisions. When we have business relationships that could influence our content or recommendations, we disclose them clearly and prominently.

This disclosure is in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising, and similar international standards.

Affiliate Relationships

How Affiliate Programs Work

Our website may contain affiliate links to products, services, or technologies that we reference in our content. When you click these links and make a purchase or engage with the linked service, we may receive a commission or referral fee from the vendor.

These affiliate relationships help support the operation of our website and the development of our content, but they do not influence our editorial decisions or the honest assessment of services and products we discuss.

Participation in Affiliate Programs

We may participate in affiliate programs with:

Technology vendors whose hardware or software solutions we may reference in our computer vision implementations
Cloud service providers that host AI and machine learning infrastructure
Educational platforms offering training or certification programs relevant to computer vision
Professional tools and software that support business operations

Our Product Recommendation Policy

When we recommend products or services, whether or not affiliate relationships exist:

We only recommend solutions we believe provide genuine value to our audience
Our opinions are based on actual experience and objective assessment
We disclose both advantages and limitations of recommended solutions
We clearly indicate when links are affiliate relationships

Financial Transparency

The commission rates we receive from affiliate programs vary by vendor and product category. These commissions do not increase the cost to you—affiliate links direct you to the same prices offered to all customers. Any financial relationship that might influence our content will be disclosed at the time of mention.

Sponsored Content and Paid Promotions

Identification of Sponsored Content

If we publish sponsored content or paid promotional material, it will be clearly labeled with one of the following disclosures:

"Sponsored Post" or "Sponsored Content"
"Paid Partnership with [Brand Name]"
"This post is sponsored by [Company Name]"

These labels will appear prominently at the beginning of the content to ensure transparency before you engage with the material.

Brand Partnership Policies

When engaging in sponsored content partnerships:

We maintain editorial control over all content and will not publish material that contradicts our values or misleads our audience
We only partner with brands whose products or services are relevant to our audience and align with our professional standards
Sponsored content does not receive preferential placement over organic content unless clearly marked as promotional

Content Authenticity

Even in sponsored content, we maintain our commitment to accuracy and authenticity. All claims, data, and recommendations in sponsored material are verified to the same standards as our organic content. We will not make misleading statements or omit important information, regardless of commercial arrangements.
