Commercial & affiliate disclosure

How commercial relationships are separated from verification and editorial standards.

Verification is independent

DegreeScoutHQ does not treat a commercial relationship, advertisement or affiliate arrangement as evidence that a university or degree record is accurate.

The same source requirements apply whether or not a commercial relationship exists.

Disclosure

When a page contains a commercial or affiliate relationship, that relationship should be disclosed where it is relevant to the user's decision.

Commercial placement should not silently alter whether a record is classified as verified.
