1. Introduction At The Essentialist List, we believe in transparency on the web and so we are disclosing that we've included certain products and links to those products on this site that will earn us an affiliate commission for any purchases you make. Our goal with the website is to help provide ideas, inspiration, and suggestions for amazing products and brands that we have fallen in love with, but please understand we are also doing this as a for-profit business to try to compensate for the time and energy that goes into writing the content.

2. Affiliate Links The Essentialist List engages in affiliate marketing, which is done by embedding tracking links into the website. This may include the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com, or other similar affiliate programs. If you click on a link for an affiliate partnership, a cookie will be placed on your browser to track any sales for purposes of commissions.

3. Product Affiliations The products that are linked to on our site are ones that we have either reviewed or used, or come from reputable sources that we trust. Not every product link is an affiliate link, but you should assume that every link is an affiliate link.

4. Compensation We receive an affiliate commission for some of the products/services sold on The Essentialist List. The affiliate revenue is used to support the continuing operations of the website. That said, we only recommend products or services that we believe will add value to our readers, not based on the small commissions we make if you decide to purchase something.

5. Sponsored Content We do not write sponsored posts. We want to provide authentic, unbiased information. However, if a company would like to publish sponsored content on The Essentialist List, this will be clearly marked as such and separated from our regular content.

6. Testimonials Any testimonials on the website are real, and all the people who have reviewed the products or services have used them. However, these testimonials are not to be construed as promises or guarantees of expected performance. The results are not typical and your experience will vary depending upon your effort, education, business model, and market forces beyond our control.

7. Need for Transparency We hold ourselves to the highest standards of integrity and strive to deliver interesting, helpful, and encouraging content while generating a small profit to compensate for our time, research, and ideas. We love and appreciate our readers and make it our goal to be up front and honest with every post we write.

8. Questions and Contact Information If you have any questions regarding our Disclosure Policy, or your dealings with our website, please contact us at essentialistlist@gmail.com.
