Disclosure Policy
Advertising & Compensation
Affiliate Links
If you decide to buy something through a link marked as an advert or affiliate link, I may receive a small commission from your purchase. This will not affect the price you pay.
Many of the products I recommend are things I have bought and used myself, and I will always tell you if something was gifted. Occasionally, particularly in gift guides and round-ups, I may include an affiliate link to a product or retailer I have not personally used when I genuinely believe it may be relevant or useful to my readers. I will make it clear when I am suggesting something rather than recommending it from personal experience.
Advertisement
Nobody has ever paid me to talk about their product, if that changes in the future I will always make it very clear at the beginning of the post that it is an Advertisement.
Guest Posts
If I decide to accept any guest posts at any point it will always be disclosed if I receive any compensation for doing so. I will only consider guest posts that I believe fit in with the theme of the blog and hope will be of interest to you.
Receiving Products
On the odd occasion, manufacturers or retailers may provide me with a product for free for me to try out and if I enjoy it, to share it with you. If this happens, I will always disclose to you in the post that the product(s) are gifted.
Partnerships & Collaborations
I have no ongoing partnerships or collaborations with brands other than the previously declared affiliate links. If this was to change this policy will be updated to reflect this.
Bias & Fairness
When reviewing products or services I will always strive to ensure my content is as unbiased as possible. I will never accept a payment for a positive review or be swayed from my personal opinion when sharing my experience.
Compliance
I aim to comply with relevant UK advertising, consumer protection and data protection requirements.
Use of AI
I use artificial intelligence as a tool to help me run Creative Fibro. This can include assisting with research, fact-checking, editing and refining my writing, brainstorming, planning social media content and creating or developing some of the imagery used on the site.
Creative Fibro is AI-assisted, not AI-originated. The experiences, opinions, ideas and personal perspective behind the content are my own. For new articles, I generally write the original draft myself and use AI as part of the research and editorial process.
Most importantly, I retain full editorial control. I review, edit and approve everything published under the Creative Fibro name. I do not publish automatically generated articles that I have not personally read, checked and decided I am happy to put my name to.
Where factual information matters, particularly health information, I aim to check it against appropriate reliable sources rather than treating an AI response as a source in itself.
Contact Details
If you have any questions or concerns about the Disclosure Policy you can find my details on the Contact Me page.
Update Policy
I will update this policy when there is a material change to the way Creative Fibro works with advertising, commercial relationships or AI.
Privacy & Data Collection

My Disclosure Promise to You
Like a lot of bloggers, I hope Creative Fibro will eventually provide some income. But above that, even, I have my integrity. It is my promise that I will promote nothing to you I don’t believe in. If my opinion of something changes with time, I will go back and edit my blog post to reflect accordingly.
