Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: 19 November 2025
Our Commitment to Transparency
At CloudVault Pro, we believe in maintaining transparent relationships with our users. This Advertising Disclosure explains how we may earn revenue through advertising relationships, affiliate programmes, and sponsored content whilst providing valuable cloud computing training information.
We want you to understand how advertising may influence the content you see on our website and the nature of our business relationships with third parties. This disclosure is provided in accordance with advertising guidelines and regulations, including those set forth by relevant regulatory authorities.
Affiliate Relationships and Partnerships
Affiliate Programme Participation
CloudVault Pro participates in various affiliate marketing programmes. When you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase or take a qualifying action, we may earn a commission from the merchant or service provider. These affiliate relationships help support the operation of our website and the creation of valuable training content.
Our affiliate partnerships may include but are not limited to cloud service providers, technology companies, educational platforms, and professional certification bodies.
How Affiliate Links Work
- • Some product links on our website contain unique tracking codes that identify traffic from our site
- • When you click these links and make a purchase, we receive a commission at no additional cost to you
- • The price you pay remains the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the merchant
- • Our recommendations are based on genuine assessment, not solely on commission potential
Product Recommendation Policies
Whilst we may earn commissions from affiliate links, we maintain editorial independence in our recommendations. Our policies include:
- • We only recommend products, services, and training resources that we believe offer genuine value
- • Our reviews and assessments are based on research, experience, and user feedback
- • We clearly distinguish between editorial content and promotional material
- • We update recommendations regularly to reflect current market conditions and user needs
Financial Relationship Transparency
We are transparent about our financial relationships. When an affiliate relationship exists, we will typically indicate this with appropriate disclosure language near the relevant content. This ensures you can make informed decisions about following our recommendations.
Sponsored Content and Paid Promotions
Identification of Paid Content
From time to time, we may feature sponsored content, paid advertisements, or promotional material on our website. Sponsored content is created in partnership with brands or organizations that compensate us for featuring their products, services, or messages.
All sponsored content is clearly labelled with appropriate disclosure language, such as "Sponsored," "Advertisement," "Paid Promotion," or similar terminology. This ensures transparency and helps you distinguish between editorial content and promotional material.
Sponsored Post Labelling Policies
- • Sponsored articles and blog posts are clearly marked at the beginning of the content
- • Display advertisements are visually distinct from editorial content
- • Native advertising follows industry standards for disclosure
- • We maintain editorial control over sponsored content to ensure quality and relevance
Brand Partnership Disclosures
We may enter into brand partnerships where we receive compensation for featuring specific products, services, or brands on our website. These partnerships are disclosed appropriately, and we work only with brands that align with our values and offer legitimate value to our audience.
Content Authenticity Guarantees
Even when content is sponsored, we maintain our commitment to accuracy and value. We do not allow sponsors to dictate the content of reviews or assessments. Our editorial team ensures that all content, sponsored or otherwise, meets our quality standards and provides genuine value to our users.
Third-Party Advertising Networks

This data collection is governed by the privacy policies of the respective advertising networks and our own Privacy Policy.

Editorial Independence and Integrity
We maintain a clear separation between advertising content and editorial content. Our editorial team operates independently, and advertising relationships do not influence our editorial judgments or the content of our reviews and recommendations.
When we recommend training programmes, cloud services, or professional resources, these recommendations are based on genuine assessment of quality, value, and relevance to our audience. Advertising relationships may exist, but they do not determine what we recommend or how we present information.
We are committed to providing honest, accurate, and valuable information to help you make informed decisions about your cloud computing education and career development.
