The Advertising Policy of Mahadev Book defines the standards and principles guiding all forms of advertising, sponsorships, or promotional collaborations on mahadevbookks.com.
Our priority is to maintain transparency, credibility, and ethical responsibility in all public communications.
We do not publish or promote misleading, deceptive, or gambling-related advertising under any circumstances.

1. Purpose of This Policy

This policy ensures that any advertisement or sponsored material displayed on Mahadev Book aligns with our educational mission, respects user interests, and complies with all relevant legal and regulatory frameworks.
We aim to maintain a clear boundary between editorial content and advertising to preserve reader trust and editorial integrity.

Every advertisement appearing on mahadevbookks.com must follow these principles:

Transparency: Sponsored or paid content must be clearly labeled as such.
Accuracy: Ads must be factually correct and avoid false promises.
Legality: Only lawful, compliant advertisements will be accepted.
Relevance: Ads should relate to education, digital awareness, or online services of general interest — not gambling or betting.
Non-Deceptive: We reject misleading offers, exaggerated claims, or unverified financial promotions.

3. Types of Advertising We Accept

Mahadev Book may consider limited, educational, or contextual advertising that fits the following categories:

Awareness campaigns related to responsible gaming education;
Digital learning tools, cybersecurity products, or research services;
Technology, app development, or web-based informational services;

Encourage unsafe financial behavior or high-risk investments;
Contain adult, violent, discriminatory, or illegal content;
Spread misinformation or politically biased propaganda;
Use clickbait, fake endorsements, or hidden redirects;
Collect personal user data without consent.

5. Labeling and Disclosure Standards

When advertising is accepted, it must be clearly distinguishable from editorial content.
Labels such as “Advertisement,” “Sponsored,” or “Paid Partnership” will appear visibly beside or above the promotional material.
Readers will always know when they are viewing sponsored information versus Mahadev Book’s editorial work.

6. Editorial Independence

Our editorial team retains complete independence over the creation of content.

All opinions and reviews are produced based on research and accuracy, not commercial interests.
This separation ensures that mahadevbookks.com remains a trustworthy and unbiased source of information.

7. Advertising Placement and Format

Advertising content may appear on specific, designated areas of the website such as sidebars, banners, or dedicated awareness sections.
Placement is determined based on design balance, user experience, and compliance with platform guidelines.

8. Data Privacy in Advertising

We value user privacy and never share personal or browsing data with advertisers.
All advertising technologies used on mahadevbookks.com comply with our Privacy Policy and Data Protection Policy.
Cookies used for ad performance measurement are limited to anonymous analytics — not behavioral targeting or profiling.

Mahadev Book does not use gambling-related ad networks.
If third-party ad platforms are ever engaged, they will be vetted for compliance with international data-protection standards and will be required to meet our ethical guidelines for transparency and user safety.

Any collaboration with external organizations must adhere to the same ethical rules as advertising.
Sponsored articles, educational projects, or awareness campaigns will be reviewed by our compliance team.
All sponsorships are disclosed under our Affiliate Disclosure and Transparency Report.
