Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: July 2026
Our commitment to transparency
Grove Blend Park is committed to being transparent about how this website generates revenue and how advertising or commercial relationships — if any — may affect the content you see. This disclosure is provided in the spirit of openness and in accordance with applicable advertising standards and consumer protection requirements, including guidelines from the Japan Consumer Affairs Agency and, where relevant, the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
The primary purpose of this website is to describe and facilitate access to Grove Blend Park's advisory services. We are not a media publisher and do not carry general display advertising. The disclosures below explain the limited commercial relationships that do apply.
Affiliate relationships
Programme participation
This website may, from time to time, contain links to third-party services or products where Grove Blend Park participates in an affiliate or referral programme. Where such links are present, we will note this clearly in proximity to the link.
Commission-based links
If you follow an affiliate link and make a purchase or sign up for a service, Grove Blend Park may receive a commission or fee from the third-party provider. This does not affect the price you pay. Affiliate arrangements do not influence our editorial position or the independence of our advisory work.
Product recommendation policies
Any recommendations made on this site reflect our genuine assessment of the product or service in question. We do not recommend services we would not ourselves use or endorse. The existence of an affiliate relationship does not determine whether a recommendation is made.
Financial relationship transparency
Where a financial relationship exists between Grove Blend Park and a recommended party — including affiliate fees, referral fees, or other commercial arrangements — we will state this clearly wherever the content in question appears.
Sponsored content
Identification of paid content
If any content on this website has been produced in exchange for payment, free access, goods, or other consideration from a third party, it will be identified as sponsored content at the top of that page or section. We do not accept payment to produce content that we believe is not in the interest of our readers.
Sponsored content labelling
Sponsored content will be marked with a clear label such as "Sponsored", "In partnership with", or "Paid content". These labels will not be obscured or placed in a way that makes them difficult to notice.
Brand partnerships
Where we work with a brand on a content collaboration or joint communication, that relationship will be disclosed. The existence of a brand partnership does not affect the independence of Grove Blend Park's advisory services.
Content authenticity
Regardless of any commercial relationship, all content published on this website reflects our honest assessment. We do not allow sponsors or partners to direct or alter our editorial views as a condition of a commercial arrangement.
Third-party advertising
Display advertising networks
This website may use third-party advertising tools, including Google Ads, for remarketing and related purposes. These services may display advertisements on other websites you visit after visiting this site, based on your browsing activity.

Your rights under privacy regulations
