Advertising Disclosure

Our Commitment to Transparency

At PyCore, we believe in complete transparency regarding our advertising practices and business relationships. This Advertising Disclosure outlines how we may earn revenue through affiliate partnerships, sponsored content, and advertising, in compliance with applicable regulations including FTC guidelines and EU consumer protection laws.

1. Affiliate Relationships

1.1 Affiliate Program Participation

PyCore may participate in affiliate marketing programs with various technology providers, software vendors, and service platforms. When you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate programs we may participate in include:

• Cloud hosting and infrastructure providers
• Development tools and software platforms
• Online learning and training resources
• Professional services and business tools
• Technology and software vendors

1.2 Commission-Based Link Disclosure

Some links on our website may be affiliate links, meaning we earn a commission if you make a purchase through these links. These commissions help support our business operations and enable us to provide valuable content and services. However, affiliate relationships do not influence our professional recommendations or the quality of services we provide.

1.3 Product Recommendation Policy

We only recommend products, services, and tools that we have personally evaluated or believe will provide value to our clients. Our affiliate relationships do not compromise the integrity of our recommendations. We maintain editorial independence and base our suggestions on technical merit, reliability, and suitability for specific use cases.

1.4 Financial Relationship Transparency

When we have a financial relationship with a product or service provider that we mention or recommend, we will clearly disclose this relationship. This ensures you can make informed decisions about any products or services you choose to purchase or use.

2. Sponsored Content

2.1 Identification of Paid Content

Any content that is sponsored, paid for, or provided in exchange for compensation will be clearly labeled as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," or "Advertisement." We maintain clear distinction between our regular content and sponsored materials to ensure transparency with our audience.

2.2 Sponsored Post Labeling

Sponsored posts, articles, or reviews will include prominent disclosure at the beginning of the content. This disclosure will explain the nature of the sponsorship relationship and how compensation was received (monetary payment, free products, services, or other consideration).

We may enter into partnerships with technology companies, software vendors, or service providers for promotional purposes. These partnerships are disclosed when relevant, and we maintain editorial control over all content regardless of partnership status.

2.4 Content Authenticity

Even in sponsored content, we maintain our commitment to accuracy, honesty, and providing genuine value to our audience. We do not publish sponsored content that contradicts our professional standards or misrepresents products and services. All opinions expressed remain our own.
