Publisher

Digital Saboot News

Editorial Control

Publication decisions remain subject to human editorial review.

Corrections and Grievances

Public processes are available for errors, replies and formal grievances.

01

Purpose of This Policy

This policy explains how Digital Saboot News separates advertising, sponsorship, branded content, affiliate links and commercial partnerships from editorial news.

02

Clear Labels and Visual Separation

Paid, Sponsored, Advertisement, Partner Content or an equivalent clear label will be used. Advertising will not be presented as a newsroom headline, byline or ordinary report.

03

Editorial Independence

Advertisers do not receive approval or veto rights over ordinary story selection, investigative conclusions, headlines, corrections, fact-check ratings or published criticism.

04

Separation of Sales and Newsroom

Where practicable, advertising communication and editorial decisions are handled under separate responsibilities. A commercial discussion does not guarantee coverage.

05

Advertising Claims and Substantiation

The advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and substantiation of product, service, price, offer, licence, testimonial and performance claims. The newsroom may request proof or reject clearly misleading claims.

06

Prohibited Advertising

Advertising for unlawful goods or services, fraud, impersonation, counterfeit goods, hate, sexual exploitation, malware, unauthorised surveillance, dangerous misinformation, deceptive investment promises, tobacco/nicotine, illegal gambling or clear public-safety risks will not be accepted.

07

Political and Election Advertising

Political or election-related advertising may be considered only when consistent with applicable law, platform capability, identity verification and clear sponsor disclosure. Editorial endorsement is a separate matter.

08

Children and Vulnerable Groups

Targeting or creative that exploits children, victims, financial distress, health fears or sensitive identities will not be accepted.

09

Data, Cookies and Consent

Advertising or measurement scripts load only when configured and consistent with visitor consent. An advertiser or ad provider may operate under its own privacy policy, with relevant disclosures provided on the appropriate page.

10

Sponsored and Branded Content

Sponsored articles or videos will carry a clear label. Sponsor involvement, material connection and, where relevant, the limits of content approval will be disclosed.

11

Affiliate Links and Commission

Where a link or purchase may generate commission, the commercial relationship will be clearly disclosed. Affiliate revenue does not guarantee an editorial recommendation.

12

Rejection, Suspension or Removal

Advertising may be paused, rejected or removed for policy violations, misleading claims, legal notices, security risks, payment issues or potential public harm.

13

Corrections and Advertiser Response

An advertisement or disclosure may be updated when an incorrect price, link, label or material claim is identified. Related editorial coverage will not automatically change.

14

Advertising Complaints

A complaint about misleading, inappropriate or incorrectly labelled advertising may be submitted through the Contact or Grievance page with the URL, screenshot, date and reason.
