Advertising Disclosure

Last Updated: November 24, 2025

At Prism Analytics, we believe in complete transparency regarding our business relationships and how we may be compensated for content, recommendations, or services featured on our website. This Advertising Disclosure explains our relationships with advertisers, affiliates, and other partners.

We are committed to maintaining the trust you place in us by providing honest, unbiased information while clearly disclosing any financial relationships that may exist. This disclosure complies with the Federal Trade Commission's requirements for truth in advertising.

Affiliate Relationships

Affiliate Programs Participation

Prism Analytics participates in various affiliate marketing programs. This means we may earn commissions when you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase or sign up for services. These affiliate relationships include:

  • Financial software and tools recommended for derivatives analysis
  • Data providers and analytical platforms we reference
  • Educational resources and professional development services
  • Financial services and products relevant to our audience

Commission-Based Link Explanations

When you see a link to an external product, service, or resource on our website, it may be an affiliate link. This means:

  • We may receive a commission if you make a purchase through that link
  • The commission is paid by the merchant, not by you
  • Using affiliate links does not increase your purchase price
  • Commissions help support our operations and content creation

We only recommend products and services that we believe provide genuine value to our audience, regardless of commission potential.

Product Recommendation Policies

Our product and service recommendations are based on:

  • Professional experience and expertise in financial analysis
  • Evaluation of features, functionality, and value proposition
  • Relevance to financial analysis and institutional needs
  • Quality standards and professional applicability

We do not recommend products or services solely because they offer high commissions. Our primary commitment is to provide valuable, accurate information to help you make informed decisions.

Financial Relationship Transparency

We maintain editorial independence in all our content. While we may receive compensation through affiliate relationships, this does not influence our analytical perspectives or the objectivity of our services. When we discuss products, services, or platforms with which we have affiliate relationships, we will clearly disclose this where relevant. Our analytical methodologies and professional insights remain independent of any commercial relationships.

Sponsored Content

Paid Content Identification

From time to time, we may publish sponsored content or paid promotions on our website. Sponsored content is material created in collaboration with or paid for by a third party. We clearly identify sponsored content through:

  • Clear labeling such as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," or "Advertisement"
  • Disclosure statements at the beginning or end of sponsored articles
  • Visual indicators distinguishing sponsored from editorial content
  • Transparent identification of the sponsoring organization

Sponsored Post Labeling Policies

All sponsored content on our website adheres to strict labeling standards:

  • Prominent disclosure at the top of sponsored articles
  • Consistent visual styling to differentiate from regular content
  • Clear attribution to the sponsoring party
  • Disclosure maintained even when content is shared or excerpted

Brand Partnership Disclosures

When we enter into partnerships with brands, companies, or service providers, we maintain transparency about these relationships. Brand partnerships may involve collaborative content creation, joint research initiatives, or co-branded educational resources. In all cases, we disclose the nature of the partnership and maintain editorial control over the content we publish. Our analytical integrity and professional standards remain paramount, regardless of partnership arrangements.

Content Authenticity Guarantees

Whether content is sponsored or independently created, we guarantee:

  • All analytical perspectives reflect our professional expertise and judgment
  • Factual accuracy and evidence-based analysis in all content
  • Editorial independence maintained even in sponsored content
  • Honest evaluation of products, services, and approaches
