Disclosure
Disclosure policy
How Blogbox discloses its owners' interests in businesses it links to and writes about.
TODO · Review by legal before final publication.
Ownership
Blogbox is owned by an Australian private holding company that also holds interests in a number of other Australian businesses, including in home energy and solar, property, personal finance, trades, and related consumer services. Some Blogbox articles link to these businesses where doing so is genuinely useful to the reader.
How we disclose
- A standing disclosure line appears in the site footer on every page.
- Articles that link to a business our owners operate use ordinary in-context editorial links, chosen because they help the reader, never in exchange for payment.
- We disclose specific ownership interests on request.
Editorial independence
What we cover and what we say is decided by Blogbox independently of the ownership group. Linked businesses receive no favourable coverage, no pre-publication review, and no veto. We link to businesses we do not own on the same basis: usefulness to the reader.
rel attributes
Editorial links to owned businesses are ordinary followed links, disclosed as above. Any
paid or affiliate links, should they be introduced, will carry the appropriate
rel="sponsored" attribute and be labelled as such.
