DISCLOSURE & Privacy Policy

DISCLAIMER

Devotions on Diabetes is a faith-based blog written, edited, and designed by me unless otherwise stated. For questions about this blog, please email [email protected].

This site is not responsible for any action taken as a result of the information or advice provided by DevotionsonDiabetes.com. Please note that visitors to this site should seek professional or specialist advice from a doctor, endocrinologist, or another professional regarding their individual circumstance before acting on anything on this website.

DISCLOSURE POLICY

Affiliate Links

My posts may contain affiliate links. If you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. The affiliate money I earn helps pay the fees to keep this site up and running. Thank you so much for your support.

Devotions on Diabetes uses selective affiliate links. You will see this disclosure when the post includes links to certain products that are affiliate links. I may make a small commission if you choose to purchase the item(s) through my link. I only link to products I have tried and/or believe will be of use to my readers. This never results in additional charges to you or any increase in the cost of the product you are purchasing.

Devotions on Diabetes is a participant in the Amazon Services, LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

Sponsored Post

You will see this disclosure in a situation where a sponsored post is a regular post (written by me with my wording and my opinions), but the brand pays me to ensure that the product does appear on the site, and within their timeline. Again, all opinions will be my own and I will never accept compensation just to show a product that I don’t love.

At the top of a sponsored post, you will see “This post has been sponsored by COMPANY X, although I have been compensated for this post. All opinions are 100% my own.”
