This policy explains how SHRTX handles advertising, affiliate disclosure, and monetization safeguards.
1. Advertising Providers
SHRTX may display contextual advertisements through approved ad networks, including Google AdSense.
- Ads are served by third-party ad providers under their own terms and policies.
- SHRTX does not guarantee specific ad content, advertiser behavior, or offer quality.
- SHRTX may disable or remove ad placements at any time for user safety, trust, or compliance reasons.
2. Editorial Independence
Monetization does not control product decisions, tool behavior, or technical documentation.
- Tool rankings and tool availability are not sold placements.
- Product roadmaps are based on engineering and user utility priorities.
- Legal and policy content is published for transparency, not for ad optimization tricks.
3. Ad Placement Standards
SHRTX follows non-deceptive placement principles.
- Ads must not be disguised as navigation, download buttons, or tool outputs.
- Ads must not obstruct core workflows or prevent normal page interaction.
- SHRTX does not ask users to click ads and does not incentivize ad clicks.
4. Affiliate Disclosure
SHRTX may include affiliate links in selected content.
- If an affiliate link is used, SHRTX may earn a commission at no additional cost to users.
- Affiliate relationships do not override local-first design and trust policies.
5. Privacy and Consent Alignment
Advertising is aligned with SHRTX consent and privacy controls.
- Consent preferences are stored client-side and can be changed at any time.
- Optional advertising and personalization features are consent-gated.
- Tool inputs are not collected for ad targeting during normal local-first usage.
- Marketing measurement uses Google Analytics 4 only when advertising consent is on.
- GA4 is not loaded in local development and runs only in production deployments.
- GA4 is configured without client identifier storage and records page paths and referrer domains only.
