Our Commitment to Transparency

At Tangram Forge, we believe in maintaining honest and transparent relationships with our clients and website visitors. This Advertising Disclosure explains how we may earn revenue through various advertising and partnership arrangements.

We are committed to providing accurate information and clearly identifying any content that involves financial compensation or affiliate relationships. This disclosure helps you understand our business practices and make informed decisions.

Affiliate Relationships

Affiliate Program Participation

Tangram Forge participates in various affiliate marketing programs. When we recommend tools, services, or products, some links on our website may be affiliate links. This means:

  • We may receive a commission when you click these links and make a purchase
  • The price you pay remains the same whether you use our affiliate link or not
  • These commissions help support our business operations at no additional cost to you
  • Affiliate links may be marked with a designation such as "Affiliate Link" or an asterisk

Product Recommendation Policy

Our affiliate relationships do not influence our recommendations. We maintain the following standards:

  • We only recommend tools and services that we have personally used or thoroughly researched
  • Our opinions and assessments remain independent and honest
  • We prioritize products and services that we believe provide genuine value to our clients
  • The presence of an affiliate relationship is always disclosed when relevant

Financial Relationship Transparency

We are transparent about our financial relationships:

  • 1. Any material connection between Tangram Forge and recommended companies will be disclosed
  • 2. Commission rates do not influence the prominence or frequency of our recommendations
  • 3. We regularly review and update our affiliate partnerships to ensure they align with our values
  • 4. When multiple affiliate options exist, we recommend based on quality and fit, not commission structure

Sponsored Content

Identification of Paid Content

From time to time, we may publish content sponsored by third parties. All sponsored content is clearly marked:

  • Sponsored posts are labeled with clear disclosure such as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," or "Advertisement"
