StarStation may use affiliate links in selected gear guides, product comparisons, reviews, and other commercial content. If a reader purchases something through an affiliate link, StarStation may receive a commission at no additional cost to the reader.
Editorial independence
Affiliate relationships do not determine StarStation’s scientific coverage, conclusions, recommendations, or factual reporting. Products should not receive favorable coverage merely because an affiliate program exists.
Clear labeling
Pages containing affiliate links should clearly disclose that relationship near the relevant content. Sponsored content and paid placements should be labeled separately from independent editorial coverage.
Reviews and recommendations
StarStation should not claim hands-on testing unless the product was actually tested. When recommendations are based on specifications, research, expert sources, or third-party testing, that basis should be stated clearly.
