Advertising Disclosure Statement

In the spirit of full disclosure and transparency for our clients and readers, which has always been more strict than any government regulation, this disclosure statement explains IM Genome Project's relationship to our advertisers and how we receive compensation.

Why Disclosure is Needed. Because some companies and advertisers have been known to create or pay for fake news stories and product reviews, the Federal Trade Commission has established disclosure regulations to ensure that consumers can distinguish between paid advertising and genuine impartial news, product reviews, and content.

All of the content for the site is written without compensation.

However, we do receive compensation on a fee-for-services basis for consulting, professional services, and the sale of created or acquired products and other services that we advertise on this website.

We may receive a commission when you follow a link or banner ad and then purchase a product or service from the merchant.  If in doubt about whether any link provides us with compensation, assume we do receive compensation.

We do not write reviews for the explicit purpose of receiving compensation. If we like a product or service, we may choose to write a review for the benefit of our readers. If we receive a product or service for free and write a review about it, we disclose that we received the product or service for free on the page where we have the review. We may also join the affiliate program for the product or service and link to the product or service for sale along with the review, in which case the links to the product or service may provide us compensation if you purchase them.

Please rest assured that any such compensation received does not influence the information within this site.  We’ll always provide our honest opinions, findings, beliefs, and experiences.  We only advertise merchants, products, or services that we use, have used in the past, or are recommended to us by colleagues whose opinions we trust.

Product Claims:

Any claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer, provider or party in question. Any claim, statistic, quote, or other representation about a product or service that is featured on this site has been received from the manufacturer or the provider of the product or service.
