Corporate Disclosure
Trust is the foundation of everything we publish. This Corporate Disclosure explains who stands behind Funblers, how we keep our journalism independent, and exactly how money enters the picture — including advertising, affiliate links, and sponsored content. We believe you deserve to know these things plainly, so we’ve laid them out here.
Funblers (“Funblers,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is an independent entertainment, culture and lifestyle blog based in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada. This page applies to funblers.com and all content published on it (the “Site”), and should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions.
1. Who we are
Funblers is an independently operated online publication covering film, music, television, and lifestyle and wellness trends.

2. Our editorial independence
Our editorial decisions are made independently of our commercial relationships. What we cover, how we cover it, and the opinions we express are determined by our editorial team on the basis of what we believe is interesting, relevant, and honest — not by advertisers, affiliate partners, or sponsors.
- Advertisers and partners do not get to approve, review, or influence our editorial coverage, ratings, or opinions unless a piece is clearly labelled as sponsored (see Section 6).
- A commercial relationship with a company never guarantees positive coverage, and the absence of one never guarantees negative coverage.
- We maintain a clear separation between our editorial content and any advertising or paid placements that appear alongside it.
3. How we make money
Running a publication has real costs — hosting, tools, and the time it takes to research and write. To keep Funblers free to read, we may earn revenue through a combination of the following, each of which is explained in more detail below:
- Advertising displayed on the Site through ad networks and direct arrangements;
- Affiliate links, where we may earn a commission when you buy something after clicking certain links;
- Sponsored or partnered content, which is always clearly labelled; and
- Other partnerships or services we may offer from time to time.
Importantly, these revenue sources help support our work but do not change the price you pay — using an affiliate link or seeing an ad never costs you extra.
4. Advertising disclosure
Funblers displays advertising to help fund the Site. Ads may be served by third-party advertising networks and partners, and may appear as banners, in-feed units, or other formats. In some cases, ads are automatically selected and served by these networks rather than chosen by us. The appearance of an advertisement on the Site does not constitute an endorsement by Funblers of the advertiser or its products, and we are not responsible for the content of third-party ads or the practices of the companies behind them. For details on the cookies and technologies used in advertising, and how to opt out of interest-based ads, please see our Cookie Policy.
5. Affiliate links and relationships
Some articles may contain affiliate links. This means that if you click a link and make a purchase or take an action on a partner’s website, Funblers may receive a small commission or referral fee — at no additional cost to you. We may participate in affiliate programs operated by retailers, brands, streaming services, and affiliate networks.
Our promise on affiliates: we only include links to products, services, or content we consider genuinely relevant to our readers. A commission never determines our editorial opinion, and we do our best to identify affiliate or sponsored links where they appear. If a page contains affiliate links, you may see a short note such as: “This article contains affiliate links. If you buy something through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.”
6. Sponsored and partnered content
From time to time, we may publish content that is sponsored, paid for, or produced in partnership with a brand or third party. When we do, we clearly label it — for example with a tag such as “Sponsored,” “Paid partnership,” “Promoted,” or “In partnership with [brand]” — so you always know when content has been influenced by a commercial arrangement. Even in sponsored content, we aim to be truthful and to only work with partners whose products or services we consider relevant to our audience. We follow applicable advertising and disclosure standards, including the guidance of Canada’s Competition Bureau and, where relevant, standards such as those of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for our international readers.
7. Review units, gifts, and press access
As an entertainment publication, we may receive access to screenings, review copies, press previews, event invitations, or promotional items provided by studios, labels, publicists, or brands. Receiving such access or materials does not obligate us to provide coverage, and it never guarantees a favourable review. Where a review is materially based on a product or access we received for free, we aim to disclose that fact. Our assessments reflect our honest opinion regardless of how we obtained access.
8. Opinions, accuracy, and corrections
Views and opinions expressed on the Site are those of the individual authors and do not necessarily represent those of any brand, partner, or third party. We work hard to ensure our content is accurate and to distinguish confirmed reporting from rumour or speculation, but entertainment news moves quickly and errors can occur. If you spot a mistake, please let us know using the contact details below and we will review it and issue a correction or update where appropriate.
9. No professional advice
Funblers publishes content for general information and entertainment purposes only. Nothing on the Site — including coverage of health, wellness, fitness, nutrition, financial, or legal topics — should be taken as professional advice or relied upon as a substitute for consultation with a qualified professional. Always seek the guidance of an appropriate expert before making decisions based on our content.
10. Third-party trademarks and fair use
The Site references and reports on films, television programs, music, brands, public figures, and companies. All trademarks, logos, service marks, titles, and copyrighted works mentioned or shown remain the property of their respective owners. Their use on the Site is for the purposes of identification, commentary, criticism, review, and news reporting, and does not imply any affiliation with, sponsorship by, or endorsement from those owners unless expressly stated.
11. No guarantees or results
Any lifestyle, wellness, product, or trend information we share is provided without any guarantee of specific outcomes. Individual results vary, and what works for one person may not work for another. References to products, services, or trends are not promises of any particular result and should not be treated as such.
12. External links
The Site links to and embeds third-party websites and content for context and convenience. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the content, accuracy, policies, or practices of those third parties. A link or embed is not an endorsement, and accessing third-party content is subject to that party’s own terms and policies.
13. Changes to this disclosure
We may update this Corporate Disclosure from time to time to reflect changes in our business, partnerships, or legal requirements. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically so you always know how Funblers operates.
