Cladright (“us”, “we”, or “our”) operates the cladright.com website (the “Service”).
This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information when you use our Service.
We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.
We use your Personal Information for providing and improving the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. Unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy, terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions, accessible at https://cladright.com/terms.
FTC Disclosures And Affiliate Information
One of the ways Cladright (“CR”, “cladright.com”, “we”, “us”) monetizes this site is by participating in affiliate programs.
Sometimes you’ll find links to products that we either recommend or are mentioned in articles. If you purchase a product through that link, we will earn a small percentage as a commission. Rest assured that the products we link to are relevant to the article you’re reading, have been endorsed by us, and we wholeheartedly believe in them and most likely own them ourselves. We list these products because they are helpful, useful, and worthy of mention, not because of the commissions we may earn from you using the products.
These affiliate programs allow retailers to track where click to their websites are coming from. The retailers can then pay their affiliates (in this case, cladright.com) a commission for any sales resulting from that referral traffic.
Cladright.com participates in a number of affiliate programs, including: SkimLinks, Amazon Associates, iDevAffiliate, RewardStyle, Commission Junction, ShareASale, and more. We make an effort to disclose the presence of affiliate links on relevant pages/posts, but it’s safe to assume links on this site are affiliate links.
Thanks in advance if you decide to click and purchase through the links we provide. That helps us keep the lights on and continue to produce quality free content for Cladright. And if you prefer to not click on our affiliate links, that’s okay too.
Featured articles, brand profiles, and giveaways: Some featured articles, brand profiles, and giveaways are paid or sponsored by the brand or product. These are always clearly marked with #ad, #sponsored, or some disclaimer text at the top and / or bottom of the article. While the brand may provide some input, CR has final say over the published, live version of the article. CR handpicks brands to work with, and in no way are our views unfairly biased. We tell it like it is. These articles help cover costs and allow us to continue releasing content for free.
Product reviews: Product reviews are never paid or sponsored. We purchase the products to be reviewed and take our own original photos. Sometimes a brand may send product to us for review. Before CR accepts, we set the expectation with the brand that CR is under no obligation to post a favorable review, nor a review at all, if we don’t believe the product is worthy of our audience’s time.
You may see in-post ads at the top of select articles. An in-post ad is similar to a commercial you see on TV, or an advertisement on the radio that says, “Brought to you by our sponsor, Acme Company!” The sponsor has no control over the content and does not write the article. These in-post ads also help cover costs and allow us to continue releasing content for free.
Non-original photography: Many images on cladright.com are used for illustrative / descriptive purposes and do not belong to cladright.com. We provide credit and original links at the bottom of articles when possible. We make no claims nor take ownership of these particular photos. If you see your copyrighted photo and would like it to be taken down, send us a note.
