Advertising Disclosure

Last Updated: September 16, 2025

StatWorks is committed to transparency in all our business relationships and advertising practices. This disclosure explains how we may earn revenue through various partnerships and advertising arrangements, in compliance with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines and applicable regulations.

1. Affiliate Relationships

1.1 Affiliate Program Participation

StatWorks participates in affiliate programs offered by various statistical software providers, educational platforms, and professional service vendors. When you click on affiliate links and make purchases, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate relationships may include but are not limited to:

• Statistical software vendors and analysis tools
• Professional development and training programs
• Research resources and academic platforms
• Data visualization and presentation tools
• Technical books and educational materials

1.2 Commission-Based Links

Some links on our website may be affiliate links that generate commissions when clicked and purchases are made. These links are clearly identified where practical, though not all platforms allow explicit disclosure within the link itself.

1.3 Product Recommendation Policy

Our recommendations are based on professional evaluation and practical experience. We only recommend products and services that we believe offer genuine value to statistical researchers and professionals. Affiliate relationships do not compromise the integrity of our assessments, and we maintain editorial independence in all recommendations.

1.4 Financial Relationship Transparency

The presence of an affiliate relationship means we may receive financial compensation if you choose to purchase recommended products or services. This compensation helps support our operations but does not influence the objectivity of our professional opinions or the quality of services we provide to clients.

2. Sponsored Content

2.1 Identification of Sponsored Content

Any sponsored content, paid promotions, or advertorials on our website will be clearly labeled as such. We distinguish sponsored content from our regular editorial content to ensure transparency.

Sponsored content may be identified with labels such as:

• "Sponsored Post"
• "Paid Partnership"

• "Promoted Content"

2.2 Sponsored Post Labeling

When we publish sponsored posts or branded content, these are prominently disclosed at the beginning of the content. Sponsored content must meet our quality standards and provide value to our audience, even when compensation is involved.

2.3 Brand Partnership Disclosures

We may enter into partnerships with brands, software companies, or service providers in the statistical analysis field. These partnerships may involve:

• Featured mentions or product reviews
• Co-created educational content
• Sponsored webinars or training materials
• Promotional campaigns for statistical tools

All brand partnerships are disclosed transparently, and we maintain editorial control over content quality and accuracy.

2.4 Content Authenticity Guarantee

While we may receive compensation for sponsored content, all opinions, methodological assessments, and professional recommendations reflect our genuine expertise and evaluation. We do not publish sponsored content that contradicts established statistical principles or professional standards.
