Our commitment to transparency in advertising relationships and sponsored content
Last updated: November 7, 2025
Our Commitment to Transparency
At Echo Labs, we believe in maintaining open and honest communication with our visitors and clients. This Advertising Disclosure explains how we may earn revenue through various advertising and affiliate relationships, ensuring you understand the nature of any commercial relationships that may exist.
This disclosure is made in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising. We want you to be aware when we have a financial relationship with companies or products mentioned on our website.
Our commitment to transparency means we will clearly identify any content that is sponsored, any affiliate relationships we maintain, and how we handle advertising on our platform.
Affiliate Relationships and Partnerships
Affiliate Program Participation
Echo Labs may participate in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn commissions when you click on certain links or make purchases through our referrals. These affiliate relationships include:
- • Software and development tool providers relevant to arcade game development
- • Hardware manufacturers and gaming equipment suppliers
- • Educational platforms and training resources for game development
- • Professional services related to the gaming industry
Commission-Based Link Explanations
When you click on affiliate links on our website and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. These commissions help support our operations and allow us to continue providing valuable content and services. The presence of an affiliate relationship does not influence our honest opinions or recommendations.
Product Recommendation Policies
Our product recommendations are based on:
- • Direct experience and testing with the products or services
- • Research into industry standards and best practices
- • Feedback from our development team and clients
- • Relevance to arcade game development needs
We only recommend products and services that we believe provide genuine value to our audience, regardless of whether we have an affiliate relationship.
Financial Relationship Transparency
We maintain transparency about our financial relationships by clearly identifying affiliate links when possible and disclosing partnerships that may influence content. Our editorial content remains independent, and affiliate relationships do not dictate what we write about or recommend to our audience.
Sponsored Content and Paid Promotions
Identification of Paid Content
Any content that is sponsored or paid for by third parties will be clearly identified as such. We use the following indicators to mark sponsored content:
- • Clear labeling with terms like "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," or "Advertisement"
- • Prominent placement of disclosure statements at the beginning of content
- • Visual indicators that distinguish sponsored content from editorial content
- • Specific attribution to the sponsoring company or brand
Sponsored Post Labeling Policies
We maintain strict policies for labeling sponsored posts. All sponsored content is marked clearly before users engage with the material. We ensure that sponsored posts are distinguishable from our regular editorial content through consistent labeling practices and transparent disclosure statements.
Brand Partnership Disclosures
When we enter into partnerships with brands or companies, we disclose these relationships when relevant to the content being presented. Brand partnerships may include collaborative projects, long-term relationships, or promotional agreements that influence the content we create or the services we highlight.
Content Authenticity Guarantees
Regardless of sponsorship or partnership arrangements, we maintain editorial independence and authenticity in our content. Sponsored content reflects our genuine perspectives and professional standards. We do not publish content that misrepresents our views or promotes products or services we cannot endorse in good faith.
