Introduction to Our Disclosure Policy

Hey there! At Kabu-Go, we’re all about sharing traditional Chinese food and meat recipes that make your taste buds sing. Along with great content, we think it's important to keep things transparent with you. This Disclosure Policy explains a little about how we work, why we might recommend certain products, and how we stay honest with you. Trust is a big deal to us, and this page is designed to clarify how we maintain that trust.

Understanding Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is one of the ways we earn revenue to keep Kabu-Go up and running. Think of it as a partnership: when you click on a link we provide and make a purchase, the brand pays us a small commission. But don't worry, it doesn’t cost you any extra money. This process helps support the website and enables us to continue sharing recipes, tips, and other fun food-related content with you.

It’s essential for us to maintain a clear distinction between content we’ve worked on organically and content that comes from affiliate relationships. When we feature a product or service, we’ll let you know if it's part of an affiliate arrangement. This helps you stay informed and allows us to maintain transparency in everything we do. Your trust is the most important thing to us, and we’ll always make sure that what we recommend is genuine and beneficial for you.

How Affiliate Links Work

When we include affiliate links, we provide a direct path to products or services that we think can enhance your cooking experience. These links allow us to earn a small commission when purchases are made through them. The price you pay for these items is exactly the same, whether you click through one of our affiliate links or go directly to the seller's site. So, when you choose to buy through our affiliate links, you’re not only getting the best products, you’re also supporting us, helping us maintain Kabu-Go and continue creating exciting content.

In some cases, affiliate programs will track your click and conversion, but rest assured, we don’t sell your personal information. The data collected by affiliate programs is used strictly for tracking purchases and ensuring we get the commission for referring you. Privacy and security are top priorities for us.

Sponsored Content and Partnerships

We occasionally work with brands to bring you exclusive content and special promotions. This might mean writing a blog post or creating a recipe with a product that a brand sends us. We don’t accept sponsored content that goes against our values or that we don’t think will be beneficial for you. If something doesn’t make sense for our community or doesn’t match the quality we expect, we’ll pass on the opportunity.

However, when we do post something sponsored, we’ll make it clear from the get-go. Transparency is key. You’ll always know when a piece of content has been sponsored, and we will never publish content that is misleading or doesn’t align with our mission to promote honest, traditional Chinese cooking.

Our Promise to You: Honest Reviews and Recommendations

Our promise is simple: we won’t recommend something unless we believe in it. Whether it’s a cooking tool, an ingredient, or a recipe book, we only share items that we feel will genuinely help you in the kitchen. If we don’t use it ourselves, we won’t talk about it.

Occasionally, brands might send us products to try, and while we may get to keep them, that doesn’t mean we’re required to say something positive about them. Our reviews are based on our honest experiences, and we’ll always provide you with the most accurate, authentic feedback possible. We have no interest in pushing products for the sake of it. If something isn’t up to our standard, we’ll say so.

We want to give you the tools and knowledge you need to make delicious, traditional Chinese meals with confidence. And that means you can trust that our reviews are genuine.

Affiliate Relationships with Trusted Brands

Over time, we've cultivated relationships with brands we trust, and they trust us too. These brands reflect the values of Kabu-Go: quality, authenticity, and a commitment to great food. When we partner with these brands, it’s because we believe their products will improve your cooking experience. From cookware to ingredients to other kitchen gadgets, we seek out brands that are dedicated to helping you create the best meals possible.

If we recommend something, it’s because it’s a product that we would use ourselves, and we want you to have access to the best tools available. Some of the brands we work with might be well-known, while others may be small, niche companies that offer unique items. No matter who they are, our primary goal is to enhance your cooking journey.

How We Fund the Website

Running a website takes more than just passion, it requires resources. This is where our affiliate partnerships and sponsored posts come into play. While the commissions we earn help us continue to improve Kabu-Go and provide you with high-quality recipes, tips, and other content, we strive to maintain balance. We don’t want to overwhelm you with ads or constant product promotions. We want our site to remain focused on the things that matter: food and cooking.

In addition to affiliate links and sponsored content, we also cover the costs of running the website through our own investments. We believe in keeping Kabu-Go a resource for home cooks, recipe enthusiasts, and food lovers without selling out or cluttering the site with unnecessary distractions. If we ever decide to introduce other monetization methods, we’ll update this page to make sure you’re in the loop.

Your Privacy Matters

We know that privacy is a big deal for everyone. That’s why we want to reassure you that we’re committed to keeping your personal information safe. We never sell your data or share it with third-party companies. Our goal is to respect your privacy while providing you with the best experience possible.

When you interact with Kabu-Go, we collect basic information, like your IP address and browser type, through cookies. This helps us understand which content is the most popular, improve our site’s performance, and tailor our offerings to better suit your needs. You can choose to block cookies in your browser settings if you prefer, but keep in mind, it might impact how well our website works.

For more details on how we handle your personal information, please check out our Privacy Policy, where we explain everything in more detail.

Changes to This Policy

We reserve the right to update or change this Disclosure Policy at any time, so we recommend checking back here regularly. Whenever we make significant updates, we’ll post a notice on the website, and the updated date will be reflected at the top of this page. We want to make sure you’re always aware of how we’re working with affiliates and brands, and how that might affect your experience with us.

Transparency and honesty are non-negotiable for us. Our relationship with you is built on trust, and we’ll continue to work hard to keep it that way.

We want to thank you for being part of the Kabu-Go community. Our aim is to share our love of traditional Chinese food and meat dishes with you, and hopefully inspire you to try new things in the kitchen. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced cook, we hope the recipes and tips we share help you create amazing meals.

So, if you choose to support us by clicking through our affiliate links or reading our sponsored content, know that you’re helping us do what we love. We’re grateful for your trust and commitment to this journey. If you ever have any questions or concerns about this policy, don’t hesitate to get in touch, we’re always happy to hear from you!
