Affiliate Disclosure
Last Updated: September 29, 2026
Halcyon Beach LLC (“Halcyon Beach,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) believes in being transparent about the relationships that may support our work.
From time to time, our website, newsletters, blog posts, resource recommendations, social-media content, or other communications may contain affiliate links, referral links, promotional codes, or recommendations connected to companies with which we have an affiliate or other compensated relationship.
This Affiliate Disclosure explains what that means and how we approach those relationships.
What Is an Affiliate Relationship?
An affiliate relationship means that Halcyon Beach may receive a commission, referral fee, credit, or other form of compensation when you make a purchase, sign up for a service, or take another qualifying action through certain links or promotional codes we provide.
If you make a purchase through one of our affiliate links or use one of our affiliate codes, Halcyon Beach may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
The Federal Trade Commission requires material connections between endorsers and companies to be clearly disclosed so that consumers can appropriately evaluate recommendations. Federal Trade Commission
Our Approach to Recommendations
An affiliate relationship does not determine what Halcyon Beach recommends.
Our goal is to recommend products, services, tools, and resources that we genuinely believe may be helpful and relevant to our audience.
We do not want to recommend something simply because an affiliate program is available.
When we share an affiliate recommendation, we aim to do so because the product or service naturally relates to the topic being discussed and we believe it may provide value to our readers or customers.
Affiliate compensation helps support the work of Halcyon Beach, including the creation of content, resources, products, and services.
Affiliate Disclosures Where Recommendations Appear
This page provides general information about Halcyon Beach's use of affiliate relationships. However, we also aim to disclose affiliate relationships where affiliate recommendations appear.
For example, a newsletter, blog post, resource page, or other piece of content containing affiliate links may include a statement explaining that Halcyon Beach may earn a commission if you purchase through those links.
The FTC advises that affiliate disclosures should be clear, conspicuous, and placed close enough to the recommendation or affiliate link that a reader is likely to notice and understand the relationship. Federal Trade Commission
Affiliate Links and Promotional Codes
Affiliate relationships may take different forms.
Some recommendations may use a special link that tracks a qualifying purchase or action. Others may use a referral or promotional code.
The use of a personalized or promotional code does not necessarily make the financial relationship obvious to everyone. When Halcyon Beach may receive compensation from the use of a code, we will seek to disclose that relationship clearly rather than relying on the code itself as the disclosure. The FTC specifically notes that a personalized discount code may not, by itself, clearly communicate that the person recommending the product receives compensation. Federal Trade Commission
Prices and Purchases
Using an affiliate link generally does not increase the price you pay unless otherwise clearly stated.
Your purchase is made directly from the third-party company or retailer, not from Halcyon Beach.
Halcyon Beach does not control a third party's pricing, availability, shipping, subscriptions, billing practices, refunds, warranties, customer service, privacy practices, or terms.
Before purchasing from a third party, you should review the information and policies provided by that company.
Our Opinions Are Our Own
Any opinions, reviews, experiences, or recommendations expressed by Halcyon Beach are intended to reflect our genuine views at the time they are shared.
Compensation does not permit a company to purchase a favorable opinion from Halcyon Beach.
If we have received a product or service for free, at a discount, as part of a sponsorship, or through another material relationship relevant to an endorsement, we will seek to disclose that relationship as appropriate.
FTC guidance states that endorsements should reflect the endorser's honest opinions and experiences and that material relationships should be disclosed when consumers would not reasonably expect them. Federal Trade Commission
No Guarantee of Third-Party Products or Services
A recommendation does not constitute a guarantee that a third-party product or service will be appropriate for every person or circumstance.
Products, services, pricing, features, policies, and companies can change over time. We encourage you to evaluate recommendations based on your own needs and circumstances before making a purchase.
Halcyon Beach is not responsible for the performance, availability, policies, actions, or services of third-party companies.
Current and Future Affiliate Relationships
Halcyon Beach may participate in affiliate, referral, ambassador, sponsorship, or other compensated programs from time to time.
These relationships may change as our business grows.
We are not required to list every affiliate partner on this general disclosure page. Instead, our goal is to clearly disclose a material relationship in connection with the content or recommendation where that relationship is relevant.
Changes to This Disclosure
We may update this Affiliate Disclosure as our business, affiliate relationships, or disclosure practices change.
When changes are made, we will revise the Last Updated date at the top of this page.
