Required disclosure (FTC 16 CFR Part 255): TechPulse receives compensation through advertising and affiliate partnerships. This page discloses all material connections between TechPulse and companies whose products or services are mentioned on this site.

1. General Disclaimer

The information published on techpulsemag.com ("TechPulse", "this site") is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. While we strive for accuracy and timeliness, TechPulse makes no representations, warranties, or guarantees — express or implied — about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of any information, content, products, services, or related graphics contained on this site.

Technology, science, and market conditions change rapidly. Information that was accurate at the time of publication may become outdated. Always independently verify critical information before acting on it.

Your use of any information or materials on this site is entirely at your own risk. TechPulse shall not be liable for any loss or damage — direct or indirect — arising from your use of or reliance on content published on this site.

2. Affiliate Disclosure

TechPulse participates in affiliate marketing programmes. This means that when you click certain links on our site and subsequently make a purchase, TechPulse may earn a commission or referral fee at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate relationships may exist with, but are not limited to:

  • Amazon Associates (Amazon.com affiliate programme)
  • Technology product retailers and manufacturers
  • Software and subscription service providers
  • Online course and educational platform providers

Affiliate links are clearly identified where they appear, typically with a disclosure label such as "[Affiliate Link]", "[Ad]", or a similar indicator. The presence of an affiliate link does not influence our editorial assessment of any product or service. Our reviews reflect genuine expert opinion regardless of any commercial relationship.

This disclosure is made in compliance with the FTC's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255) and the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) guidelines on endorsements.

3. Advertising Disclosure

TechPulse is an advertising-supported publication. Advertisements displayed on this site are served by third-party advertising networks. These may include, but are not limited to:

  • Meta Audience Network (Facebook / Instagram ads)
  • Google AdSense and the Google Display Network
  • Other programmatic advertising platforms
  • Direct brand partnerships and sponsored content arrangements

All advertisements are clearly labelled as "Advertisement", "Sponsored", "Ad", or similar designation, and are visually distinguished from editorial content. The appearance of an advertisement on TechPulse does not constitute endorsement by TechPulse of the advertised product, service, or company.

Sponsored content: Occasionally, TechPulse publishes sponsored articles or branded content created in partnership with advertisers. Such content is always clearly labelled with a disclosure such as "Sponsored Content" or "Partner Content" at the top of the article. Sponsored content undergoes the same factual standards as our editorial content, but the topics and framing are agreed with the sponsoring brand.

4. Meta / Facebook Advertising

TechPulse uses the Meta (Facebook) Pixel and may run advertising campaigns on Facebook and Instagram (platforms owned by Meta Platforms, Inc.). As part of these activities:

  • We may serve ads to people who have previously visited our website (remarketing / retargeting).
  • We may create "Custom Audiences" based on our website visitors or newsletter subscribers to target our ads more effectively.
  • We may use "Lookalike Audiences" to reach new people who share characteristics with our existing audience.
  • Ads we run on Facebook/Instagram will be clearly identified as coming from TechPulse and will comply with Meta's Advertising Policies.

Our Facebook/Instagram ads do not use misleading headlines, exaggerated claims, before-and-after imagery, or any other format prohibited under Meta's Advertising Standards. Our ads accurately reflect the content of the articles or offers they promote.

You can view and manage the ads TechPulse has run on Meta platforms via the Meta Ad Library. You can control your ad preferences at facebook.com/ads/preferences.

5. Editorial Independence Statement

TechPulse maintains a strict and unconditional separation between its commercial and editorial operations:

  • Advertisers and affiliate partners cannot pay for positive editorial coverage or influence the editorial decisions of our newsroom.
  • Negative reviews, critical analysis, and unflattering coverage of companies that advertise on TechPulse are permitted and have been published.
  • Product review scores are determined entirely by our editors and contributors, based on hands-on testing and expert assessment.
  • Story selection, editorial angles, and publication schedules are controlled exclusively by our Editorial team.

If you believe any content on TechPulse may compromise this editorial independence, please contact us at hello@techpulsemag.com.

6. No Professional Advice

Nothing published on TechPulse constitutes professional, financial, investment, medical, legal, or any other specialised advice. Content on this site is for general informational and educational purposes only.

  • Financial/investment content: Articles discussing stocks, cryptocurrencies, company valuations, or market trends are journalistic in nature. They do not constitute investment advice. You should consult a qualified financial adviser before making investment decisions.
  • Health/medical content: Articles discussing medical technologies, treatments, or research findings are for informational purposes only. Consult a qualified healthcare professional for medical advice.
  • Legal content: Nothing on this site constitutes legal advice. Consult a qualified attorney for legal matters.
