Privacy Policy
Sponsored Content Policy
At SportsPanda, we are committed to providing our readers with high-quality, relevant, and engaging content. To maintain transparency and trust with our audience, we clearly identify and adhere to specific guidelines for sponsored content. This page outlines our policy for the creation, placement, and disclosure of sponsored content on SportsPanda.
What is Sponsored Content?
Sponsored content, also known as native advertising, is content created in partnership with advertisers. It is designed to align with the interests and needs of our readers while promoting a product, service, or brand. Sponsored content can take various forms, including articles, videos, infographics, and social media posts.
Our Commitment to Quality and Integrity
We believe that sponsored content should provide value to our readers and fit seamlessly with our editorial standards. Therefore, we maintain strict guidelines to ensure that all sponsored content:
- Is Relevant: Sponsored content must be relevant to our audience's interests, particularly in the context of AFL and other sports.
- Maintains Editorial Integrity: Our editorial team works closely with sponsors to ensure that the content meets our quality standards and aligns with our editorial voice and style.
- Provides Value: We strive to ensure that sponsored content offers useful information or insights, rather than just serving as an advertisement.
Clear Disclosure
Transparency is crucial in maintaining our readers' trust. We clearly disclose all sponsored content through labeling and visual cues. This includes:
- Labels: Sponsored content will be prominently labeled as "Sponsored," "Advertorial," "In Partnership with [Sponsor]," or similar terminology to distinguish it from our editorial content.
- Placement: Sponsored content will include a disclaimer at the beginning or within the content to inform readers about the nature of the partnership.
- Visual Cues: We may use different formatting or design elements to highlight sponsored content and distinguish it from regular editorial content.
Review and Approval Process
To ensure that all sponsored content aligns with our standards and policies, we follow a rigorous review and approval process:
- Initial Review: Our editorial team reviews the proposed content idea or draft to ensure it aligns with our audience's interests and our content guidelines.
- Content Creation: We may create the content in-house or collaborate with the sponsor, maintaining editorial oversight to ensure quality and relevance.
- Final Approval: The content undergoes a final review to check for accuracy, clarity, and adherence to our sponsored content guidelines before publication.
Sponsored Content Formats
We offer various formats for sponsored content to suit different promotional needs:
- Articles: Written pieces that provide in-depth information or insights related to the sponsor's product or service.
- Videos: Engaging video content that highlights the sponsor's offerings or connects with our audience's interests.
- Infographics: Visual representations that convey information or data in an easily digestible format.
- Social Media Posts: Sponsored posts on our social media channels that promote the sponsor's message to our followers.
Advertising Standards
SportsPanda adheres to the principles of honest advertising. Sponsored content must comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including those related to advertising standards and consumer protection. We do not allow:
- Misleading or False Claims: Sponsored content must be truthful and not make any deceptive or false claims.
- Offensive or Inappropriate Material: Content must be respectful and appropriate for our audience, avoiding any material that could be considered offensive or inappropriate.
- Unethical Practices: We do not accept content that promotes unethical or harmful practices.
