Affiliate Disclosure

An affiliate link is a special URL that identifies VitalNadi as the referrer when you click it and make a purchase on the destination site. If you buy a product or service via an affiliate link, the destination site pays us a small commission — at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is the same whether or not you use our affiliate link.

Affiliate links are a common way for content publishers to earn revenue without requiring subscriptions or displaying intrusive ads. They allow us to keep most of our content free.

As of the "Last updated" date on this page, VitalNadi does not use any affiliate links on the website or in the Android app. All product recommendations, when made, are unsponsored and unpaid.

If we begin using affiliate links in the future, we will update this page within 7 days of the first affiliate link going live. We will also begin labeling affiliate links with a visible "(affiliate)" or "Sponsored link" tag at the link location.

If we begin using affiliate links, we will disclose them in the following ways:

• Inline disclosure: Each article containing affiliate links will start with a short disclosure statement (e.g., "This article contains affiliate links. If you buy via these links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.")
• Link-level disclosure: Affiliate links will be marked with "(affiliate)" or visually distinguished (e.g., a small icon) so you can identify them at a glance.
• Site-wide disclosure: This page (the Affiliate Disclosure) will list all active affiliate programs we participate in, updated within 7 days of joining or leaving a program.

We will never hide an affiliate relationship. If you suspect we have failed to disclose one, please contact us and we will investigate immediately.

Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content. We recommend products and services based on what we believe is best for our readers — not based on which option pays the highest commission. Specifically:

• We recommend products we have personally used, evaluated, or that have a strong independent reputation in their category.
• If two products are comparable but one offers a higher affiliate commission, we still recommend the better product, not the higher-paying one.
• If a product we have recommended via an affiliate link is later found to be inferior, unsafe, or no longer recommended, we update the article to reflect that — even if it means losing the affiliate revenue.
• Our affiliate partners cannot preview or approve our content before publication.

Our Editorial Policy takes precedence over any affiliate relationship.

If we begin using affiliate links, we anticipate joining programs in the following categories (relevant to our audience):

• Health monitoring devices (BP monitors, glucometers, pulse oximeters, thermometers) sold via Amazon Associates India or direct merchant programs.
• Health insurance comparison platforms (subject to IRDAI compliance — we would link only to licensed intermediaries, not act as one ourselves).
• Telemedicine platforms and online pharmacy services operating in India.
• Books and educational resources on health, nutrition, and family wellness.

This is a forward-looking list. When we actually join a program, it will be added to the "Active Affiliate Programs" list below.

Currently active programs: None.

This section will list each active affiliate program with: program name, products covered, and a link to the program's own terms. It will be updated within 7 days of joining or leaving any program.

You are under no obligation to use our affiliate links. If you prefer not to support us via affiliate commissions, you can:

• Search for the product directly on the retailer's site without clicking our link.
• Use an ad/tracking blocker that strips affiliate parameters.
• Visit the retailer via a different route (e.g., type the URL directly).

We will not track you or degrade your reading experience if you choose not to use affiliate links. Our content is free regardless.

Our affiliate disclosure practices comply with:

• US FTC Endorsement Guides: Clear and conspicuous disclosure of material connections between endorsers and products.
• ASCI (Advertising Standards Council of India) Guidelines: Disclosure of paid promotions in digital content.
• IRDAI regulations on insurance solicitation: We are not licensed insurance intermediaries. We do not solicit insurance, earn commission on insurance sales, or provide personalized insurance recommendations. Any affiliate link to an insurance comparison platform directs you to a licensed intermediary — we earn a referral fee only, not an insurance commission.

We may update this Affiliate Disclosure when we begin or end affiliate relationships, or when regulatory expectations change. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Significant changes (e.g., beginning to use affiliate links for the first time) will be announced on the homepage for at least 14 days.
