Yourwellness Sponsor Policy
At Yourwellness, we regularly seek sponsorships and advertisements from relevant commercial organisations, manufacturers, and other leaders dedicated to providing health & wellbeing information.
Although there is a commercial benefit for Yourwellness, sponsor information also benefits you, the Yourwellness user, by providing you with information on wellness services, therapies, and products available in the marketplace. Yourwellness provides opportunities for sponsors to bring you their marketing message and information about their products and services by publishing their information or links within our site. For more information, read our Advertising Policy.
We also allow third parties to provide funding for Yourwellness to independently create information about certain topics in specified health categories.
When You See "Sponsor" Or "Advertorial" On Yourwellness
To help make sure you understand that this category of content is not Yourwellness's content, we always label it as "Sponsored" or "Advertorial" and is content that has been created by, provided by, or influenced by the named sponsor. While "Sponsored" and "Advertorial" content is subject to Yourwellness's Advertising Policy, it is not subject to Yourwellness's Editorial Policy. The Sponsor is responsible for the accuracy and objectivity of Sponsored content.
Yourwellness takes meaningful steps to help ensure that you will not confuse Sponsored content (content that is influenced by the named sponsor) with content that is original Yourwellness content and is governed by Yourwellness's Editorial policy, including Yourwellness Features, Yourwellness News, and other original Yourwellness editorial content.
