Checks & Balances
Controls on Every Sponsorship
Editorial independence
Sponsors do not choose article conclusions, review outcomes, or which products a section covers.
Sponsored is labeled
Every sponsored video and module carries a visible sponsored label wherever it appears.
No health or safety claims
Hygiene coverage describes practices and products; it does not make medical, safety, or regulatory claims on a sponsor's behalf.
Reader privacy
Reader identities are never shared with sponsors and never used for retargeting. Aggregates only.
No guaranteed results
Plays, recall, and sales are reported after the fact from records. Nothing is promised in advance.
Rights before release
No brand appears in a published issue without a signed schedule naming surfaces, dates, and territory.
Sponsorship buys a documented run inside a working publication, not an impression estimate. Every issue closes with a run report — where the video played, on which dates, and what the records show.
Rates, availability, exclusivity, and issue dates are confirmed in writing per issue before any run. Audience figures, plays, and recall describe the readers actually reached and are not projections. The magazine's hygiene coverage is general practice reporting — it is not medical, safety, legal, or advertising-compliance advice, and a sponsorship does not make a sponsor's claims verified.
