Disclosure Policy

Listings

Future store listings may include public-source information, owner-provided details, or both. Provider-supplied details should be labeled or reviewed before publication when they affect visitor expectations. Claim/update requests do not change public listings until reviewed.

First-Party Reviews

Store reviews are visitor-submitted first-party content and are moderated before publication. Approved reviews can appear on store listing pages and can contribute to aggregate rating schema. Anonymous aggregate save counts can appear as browsing-interest signals and are not ratings, rankings, endorsements, or sponsored placement signals.

Review ratings and text are separate from verified listing facts. A review does not verify inventory, pricing, credentials, certifications, service coverage, availability, or store ownership.

Paid Placement

Paid, sponsored, affiliate, or partner resource placements may appear only after review, must be visibly labeled, and must remain separate from editorial listing facts and guide recommendations. Featured-listing interest collected through claim/update intake is a private sales signal, not a public ranking factor.

Google AdSense infrastructure may be enabled by server configuration. AdSense publisher IDs and slot IDs should live in environment variables or private config, not in committed source.
