Welcome to Kitch Home Guide (“Website”), your trusted source for reviews, insights, and recommendations on kitchen and home products. We value transparency and honesty in all our content, ensuring that our readers receive accurate and unbiased information. This Disclosure Policy outlines our affiliations, revenue sources, and ethical standards for maintaining trust with our audience.
1. Purpose of This Disclosure
At Kitch Home Guide, we believe in full transparency regarding how we operate, generate revenue, and interact with brands. This disclosure serves to inform our readers about the various relationships we maintain with product manufacturers, retailers, and advertisers. By understanding our policies, you can make informed decisions while browsing our reviews and recommendations.
2. Affiliate Links and Commissions
Kitch Home Guide participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn a commission when you purchase products through the links on our site. These commissions come at no additional cost to you and help support our website operations, content creation, and research efforts.
- Amazon Associates Program: We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program that allows us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
- Other Affiliate Programs: We also collaborate with other affiliate networks such as ShareASale, CJ Affiliate, and Impact Radius, among others. These partnerships allow us to provide a wide range of product recommendations.
Our editorial integrity remains a top priority, and commissions do not influence our reviews, rankings, or opinions on the products we feature.
