HealthyChild Advertising and Content Policy
All content at HealthyChild is created under strict editorial guidelines, ensuring accuracy, relevance, and clarity. HealthyChild’s platforms—including websites, apps, social media, and partner publications—are funded through advertisements shown on these platforms.
Our editorial team posts fact-checked, maintaining authenticity and independence from sponsors. Sponsored or branded content is clearly indicated, ensuring transparency.
Advertising Process Overview
1. Ad Review Process
We maintain the sole discretion to select the types of ads shown on HealthyChild. We reserve the right to reject, remove, or modify ads at any time and for any reason, notifying the advertiser with an explanation if an ad is declined or removed. We also determine the placement of advertisements across our platforms.
2. No Endorsement of Ads
The appearance of ads for products or services on our site does not constitute endorsement by HealthyChild of the advertised items or the entities promoting them. Any ratings or rankings by our editorial team are based solely on research, without consideration of any business or advertising connections.
3. Clear Separation Between Ads and Content
We ensure a clear distinction between advertisements and editorial content. All ads on HealthyChild are clearly labeled as such. Sponsored resource centers are also identified, and users can click through to advertisers’ websites directly from ads.
4. Sponsored Content vs. Editorial Content
HealthyChild may collaborate with sponsors, benefiting financially while providing consumers with valuable information on medical procedures, drugs, and treatments. Even for sponsored content, our strict editorial policy applies, with Medical Affairs involved in content approval.
5. Partner Programs
Occasionally, HealthyChild partners with organizations, products, or services aligned with our mission. While we do not provide or medically evaluate the goods or services mentioned, we thoroughly assess their quality. Partner material is clearly marked, indicating that it did not go through our standard editing process. Disclaimers may also inform users of potential revenue sharing from sales generated through affiliate links.
6. Affiliate Marketing
Our health and well-being editors may include links to products they believe will be useful to readers. Although these products are selected independently, HealthCanal may receive compensation if users make a purchase through these links within a certain time frame.
7. Prohibited Ad Types
We do not accept ads that are factually false. Pharmaceutical ads must adhere to FDA-approved indications, and products must be commercially available.
HealthyChild strictly prohibits ads promoting the following:
- Alcohol, illegal drugs, tobacco, gambling, firearms, ammunition, fireworks, or sexual content.
- Political campaigns, fake news, or emergencies.
- Content targeting individuals or groups based on age, race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or other characteristics.
- Misleading, threatening, defamatory, or disparaging information.
All ads must clearly identify the advertiser and will be labeled if they could be confused with editorial content.
This policy ensures that HealthyChild maintains transparency, protects user experience, and upholds its integrity.
