Advertising Policy

Streaming Well strives to provide its community of consumers with health information we believe to be relevant and important to their needs. The purpose of this policy is to explain the types of advertising we feature on our site and the rules we follow with respect to advertising. This policy will also help you recognize the difference between advertising and independent, editorial content on our site.

Our Editorial Policy explains our approach to ensure that the advertising you see on our site has no influence on Streaming Well’s content. We strive to ensure the quality, accuracy, and relevance of the editorial content and services that we provide to you.

Streaming Well makes a concerted effort to distinguish sponsored offers and advertisements from editorial content where applicable. Streaming Well will label this material with "sponsored" or "advertisement."

While Streaming Well is financed by advertising and sponsorships, it has established the following guidelines for the acceptance and placement of advertisements on its Web site.
