Wild Senses Disclosure & Disclaimer

Wild Senses Affiliate, Sponsorship & Editorial Disclosure Policy

Effective Date: August 6, 2026

Last Updated: August 6, 2026

At Wild Senses (“Wild Senses,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), transparency, authenticity, and audience trust are the foundation of everything we build. Our goal is to help you create a life you can’t stop talking about, and that promise relies on recommendations you can genuinely trust.

This Disclosure Policy explains how we monetize our content, how we handle affiliate links, sponsorships, and gifted items, and how we comply with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines across our website, newsletters, social media channels (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest), podcasts, and community platforms.

1. Editorial Independence & Our Curation Standard

Our Promise: Wild Senses will never recommend a product, book, hotel, experience, or destination solely because a brand paid us or sent us a free sample.

Every recommendation—whether featured in The Wild List, The Obsession Report, Make Life Feel Bigger, or our newsletters—is curated with a distinct point of view. If something is on Wild Senses, it’s because it earns its place in our world, fits our brand aesthetic, and offers genuine value to our audience.

2. Affiliate Links & Financial Relationships

Some of the links on our website, inside our weekly newsletters, on Pinterest, or within our social media captions and bio links are affiliate links.

  • How It Works: When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase or booking, Wild Senses may earn a small monetary commission or referral fee from the retailer or merchant.

  • No Extra Cost to You: Clicking an affiliate link or making a purchase through one never increases the price you pay. In some cases, our partnerships may even grant our audience exclusive discounts or perks.

  • Affiliate Networks We Use: We participate in various affiliate marketing programs, which may include (but are not limited to) Amazon Associates, LTK (LikeToKnow.it), ShopMy, Bookshop.org, Booking.com, Expedia Partner Network, ShareASale, Rakuten, and impact.com.

Mandatory Amazon Associates Disclosure

Wild Senses is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, Wild Senses earns from qualifying purchases.

3. Gifted Products, PR Samples & Hosted Stays

As a media brand, Wild Senses frequently receives gifted products, advance book galleys, PR packages, complimentary press stays at hotels, or invitations to media events.

  • No Guaranteed Coverage: Receiving a free item or press invite does not guarantee that Wild Senses will feature or review the product or experience.

  • Unbiased Opinions: When we do feature a gifted item or hosted stay, our commentary reflects our honest opinion.

  • Clear Labeling: Gifted products, press samples, or complimentary stays will be explicitly disclosed in the text, caption, or video (e.g., “Gifted,” “Hosted stay,” or “Product provided by [Brand]”).

4. Sponsored Content & Brand Partnerships

Occasionally, Wild Senses partners directly with select brands for sponsored posts, custom video series, integrated podcast segments, or dedicated newsletter issues.

  • Vetting Brand Partners: We only collaborate with brands operating in categories that naturally fit the Wild Senses lifestyle (e.g., travel, hospitality, books, beauty, food & beverage, fashion, creative tools, and independent lifestyle services).

  • Clear Disclosures: Any content created as part of a paid commercial agreement will be clearly and conspicuously labeled as sponsored prior to consumption. Look for indicators such as:

    • On Websites & Newsletters: “Sponsored,” “In Partnership with [Brand],” or “Paid Collaboration.”

    • On Social Media (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube): Native platform tools (e.g., Instagram’s “Paid Partnership” tag, YouTube’s “Includes paid promotion” toggle), combined with clear caption text or hashtags like #Ad or #Sponsored at the beginning of the caption.

    • In Audio/Podcasts: A spoken audio disclosure at the beginning of or during the episode/segment.

5. Multi-Platform Disclosure Standards

Because Wild Senses operates across multiple media layers, we ensure disclosures appear where you can easily notice them:

Platform Where & How We Disclose
Website & Editorial Disclosure statement placed at the top of articles or immediately adjacent to affiliate links (The Wild List).
Weekly Newsletter Clear header or footer notice indicating that recommended links may earn a commission, plus explicit callouts for sponsored segments.
TikTok, Reels & Shorts Verbal disclosures in the video, text overlays, native platform paid partnership tags, and #Ad or #AffiliateLink at the beginning of captions.
YouTube & Video Podcasts On-screen text, audio callouts during the host segment, checked “Includes Paid Promotion” box, and clear disclosure text in the first lines of the description box.
Pinterest Pins containing affiliate links are tagged using Pinterest’s merchant/affiliate tools and clearly labeled in the pin description.
