Policies

“Transparency, Ethics, and Care in Every Choice”

Introduction

At The Gwenin Exchange, trust and integrity are central. We believe that transparency is essential for ethical commerce, reflective practice, and supporting the broader Gwenin ecosystem. This page outlines our policies regarding affiliate links, privacy, user data, and ethical curation.

“Our goal is to sustain the ecosystem thoughtfully while keeping all other Gwenin sites independent, ad-free, and unbiased.”


1. Affiliate Policy

  • Affiliate Links are only on The Exchange: All affiliate-supported products are centralised here. None appear on Access Trails UK, The Sustainable Stop, Science Deconvolution, Spiralmore, Bloggyness, and Gwenin itself.
  • No Extra Cost to Users: Affiliate purchases do not cost you anything additional. A small commission is received by The Exchange to support the ecosystem.
  • Curated with Care: All products are chosen intentionally for usefulness, ethical sourcing, sustainability, accessibility, and alignment with Gwenin values.
  • Transparency: Each product is clearly marked, and reflections explain why it has been included. There are no hidden commissions or undisclosed partnerships.

2. Privacy Policy

  • User Data: We respect your privacy. Any personal data collected through subscription sign-ups or contact forms is used only to communicate updates, reflections, or curated content.
  • No Tracking Beyond Necessity: We do not share personal information with third parties for marketing. Standard analytics may be used to improve user experience, but are anonymised wherever possible.
  • Subscription: Email addresses are stored securely and used only for The Exchange. Users can unsubscribe at any time.

3. Ethical & Content Policy

  • Editorial Independence: All other Gwenin sites remain ad-free, unbiased, and independent. Affiliate links on The Exchange do not influence editorial decisions or reflective content elsewhere.
  • Quality and Alignment: We only recommend tools, books, and products that meet our standards for quality, ethical production, and alignment with Gwenin values.
  • Reflections & Transparency: Essays, prompts, and notes accompany products to explain their purpose, ethical considerations, and practical use.

4. Terms of Use

  • Responsibility for Purchases: While we curate carefully, users are responsible for verifying product suitability and compliance with personal needs.
  • No Warranties or Guarantees: Products and services are offered as curated recommendations. Gwenin Exchange cannot guarantee the performance or results of purchased products.
  • Changes to Policies: Policies may be updated periodically. Users will be notified via The Exchange or site updates.

5. Contact & Feedback

We welcome questions, suggestions, and reflections:

Your feedback helps us improve the Exchange, maintain transparency, and support the ecosystem ethically.
