Affiliate And Sponsorship Policy

Affiliate and Sponsorship Policy

Effective 5/2/2025

At Thumdar.com, transparency, trust, and integrity are the foundations of every partnership we form—whether with affiliates, sponsors, or advertisers. This policy defines how we engage in affiliate and sponsorship relationships while ensuring our users remain informed and protected.

1. Purpose

This policy governs all affiliate and sponsorship activities on Thumdar.com. It ensures that all partnerships align with our mission to promote ethical digital engagement, uphold user trust, and safeguard our platform’s core values.

2. Affiliate Relationships

Thumdar.com may collaborate with select affiliates to promote third-party products, services, or platforms that align with our mission.

• Affiliates may earn commissions for referred traffic, purchases, or conversions using uniquely tracked links.
  
• Any affiliate relationship will be clearly disclosed to users in accordance with FTC guidelines.
  

3. Sponsorship Guidelines

We may enter into sponsorships with organizations, individuals, or companies whose values and offerings resonate with our community. Sponsorships may include:

• Display advertisements
  
• Sponsored articles or media
  
• Collaborative campaigns or events
  Sponsorship arrangements are evaluated to ensure they enhance—not compromise—the user experience or the platform’s independence.
  

4. Transparency and Disclosure

All affiliate links, sponsored content, or paid promotions will be clearly identified and disclosed. Thumdar.com does not engage in hidden advertising or “native” sponsorships that blur editorial integrity. You will always know when content is paid or incentivized.

5. Partner Standards and Alignment

We only work with affiliates and sponsors who:

• Demonstrate ethical marketing and business practices
  
• Provide high-quality, relevant, and non-exploitative offerings
  
• Do not conflict with Thumdar.com’s core mission, including user security, digital integrity, and safe online environments
  

6. Endorsements and Independence

Sponsorship or affiliate placement does not equate to endorsement—unless explicitly stated. We maintain editorial independence, and content decisions are never influenced by compensation.

7. Compensation Terms

• Affiliates: Compensation is performance-based (e.g., click-throughs, conversions) and defined in individual agreements.
  
• Sponsors: May be compensated through flat fees, in-kind contributions, or campaign-based terms outlined per contract.
  

8. Legal Compliance

We comply with all applicable advertising, disclosure, and privacy regulations, including:

• FTC guidelines on affiliate marketing
  
• CAN-SPAM Act
  
• International disclosure laws (e.g., GDPR transparency where applicable)
  All partners must similarly comply with these standards.
  

9. Termination of Agreements

Thumdar.com reserves the right to revoke or terminate any affiliate or sponsorship agreement without notice if a partner:

• Violates this policy
  
• Acts unethically
  
• Harms our community or reputation
  

10. Policy Revisions

We may revise this policy periodically. All current affiliates and sponsors will be notified of any major changes. Continued participation after changes indicates agreement with the updated policy.
