Commercial Transparency
Affiliate Disclosure
How potential affiliate relationships are disclosed and separated from reader-first editorial coverage.
Potential Affiliate Relationships
Some links on OC Home Living Journal may be affiliate links. If a reader follows an affiliate link and completes a qualifying purchase or action, the publication may receive compensation. Unless otherwise stated by the seller, this generally does not change the reader’s price.
Clear Disclosure
When content contains a material affiliate relationship, the relationship should be disclosed clearly and near the relevant content or link. The presence of an affiliate relationship does not remove the reader’s responsibility to evaluate the product, service, warranty, price and provider.
Editorial Separation
Compensation should not purchase a favorable editorial conclusion. Evergreen guidance and timely reporting remain subject to the publication’s Editorial Policy.
Featured Local Partners
Featured Local Partners are a separate form of promotional placement. They may be paid and should be identified as advertising or sponsored material. A partner placement is not an independent endorsement, certification or guarantee.
See the Advertising and Featured Partner Disclosure for details.
