Affiliate disclosure

KidInfo is free to use. In the future, we plan to support the site partly through affiliate links. This page explains what that means and how we keep it honest.

Current status

As of the date at the top of this page, KidInfo has not joined any affiliate program and does not contain affiliate links. We will update this page, and list each program by name, before any affiliate link appears on the site.

What an affiliate link is

An affiliate link is a link to a retailer, such as a bookstore or toy shop, that lets the retailer know you came from KidInfo. If you buy something after clicking, the retailer may pay us a small commission. The price you pay is the same.

How we will disclose it

• Any page that contains affiliate links will say so clearly and near the top, before the first link, in plain language. For example: “We may earn a commission if you buy through links on this page. It doesn’t change the price you pay or what we recommend.”
• The disclosure will also appear close to the recommendation itself, not only in a footer or on this page.
• Affiliate and sponsored links use the HTML attribute rel="sponsored".
• Paid placements or sponsored content, if we ever publish any, will be labeled Sponsored and visually separated from editorial recommendations.

What affiliate links never change

• What we recommend. Products are chosen using our published criteria. See how we review.
• How we rank. Commission rates do not affect order or inclusion.
• Free alternatives. Our activities and guides remain usable without buying anything. Where a free option works just as well, we say so.
• Honesty about drawbacks. We list limitations for the products we include.

We do not accept payment for inclusion in editorial lists, and we do not sell links.

Children and affiliate links

Most of KidInfo is written for parents, caregivers and teachers. We aim to place shopping links on parent-facing pages, not in content written for children to read on their own.
