Affiliate Disclosure
Short version: The Claude Insider currently has no active affiliate relationships or paid sponsorships. If that changes, we will disclose it clearly at the top of any affected article or issue — not buried in a footer. This page exists to be transparent about that policy before it's ever needed.
Our Policy
The Claude Insider is an independent publication. Editorial decisions — what we cover, how we cover it, which tools we recommend — are made based on journalistic merit, not commercial relationships.
We believe in complete transparency with our readers. If we ever receive compensation for coverage, a referral fee for a link, or anything of value from a company we write about, you will know before you read a single word of that content.
What "Disclosure" Means Here
- Affiliate links: If we include a link that earns us a commission if you click or purchase, the article will be labeled "Contains affiliate links" at the top — not just in fine print.
- Sponsored content: If an article, newsletter issue, or section is sponsored by a company, it will be labeled "Sponsored" or "Presented by [Company]" prominently at the top.
- Review products: If a company provides us a free product or service for review purposes, we will disclose that in the article regardless of whether our review is positive or negative.
- Investments: If Luke Thompson or any contributor holds a financial stake in a company covered in an article, that will be disclosed.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in compliance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials in advertising (16 C.F.R. Part 255). We take these obligations seriously.
