Advertising Disclosure

Last updated: October 12, 2025

At Learn Lab, we believe in complete transparency regarding our advertising practices and business relationships. This Advertising Disclosure explains how we may earn revenue through various advertising and partnership arrangements, and how these relationships may influence the content and recommendations on our website.

We are committed to maintaining the trust of our visitors by clearly disclosing any financial relationships that may affect the content we publish. This disclosure is in accordance with applicable regulations and ethical standards for online advertising.

Affiliate Relationships and Partnerships

How Affiliate Programs Work

When you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase, we may earn a commission from the merchant at no additional cost to you. These affiliate relationships help support our operations and allow us to continue providing valuable educational technology resources and information.

Our Participation

We may participate in affiliate programs offered by:

• Educational technology platforms and software providers
• Learning management system vendors
• Course creation and hosting platforms
• Professional development and training services
• Technology tools and resources for educators

Commission-Based Recommendations

Some product or service recommendations on our website may include affiliate links. When we recommend products or services:

• We only recommend products and services we believe offer genuine value to our audience
• Our opinions remain honest and unbiased, regardless of commission rates
• We clearly indicate when content contains affiliate links
• We evaluate products based on merit, not solely on potential earnings

Financial Transparency

The presence of affiliate relationships does not influence the price you pay for products or services. Merchants pay us a commission as a marketing cost, and this arrangement is separate from your purchase transaction. You are never charged more because we receive a commission.
