Our business model and transparency

We believe in transparency about how we operate:

How we make money

Love Reading Now generates revenue through:

• Affiliate links - When you visit advisor websites or purchase services through links on our site, we may earn a commission. This does not affect the price you pay.
• Future revenue streams may include premium listings or advertising, which will be clearly marked and require your consent for cookies.

Affiliate Disclosure

In the interest of full transparency, we want you to know:

• Some links on Love Reading Now are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you make a purchase or sign up for services through these links.
• You will never pay more for using our affiliate links - the price remains the same whether you use our link or visit the site directly.
• Our editorial content and reviews are independent - affiliate relationships do not influence how we present or rate advisors and services.
• We only feature services and advisors that we believe may be valuable to our visitors.
• Affiliate partnerships help us maintain and improve this free resource for the spiritual community.

Advisor listings

All advisor and website listings on Love Reading Now are currently free. We do not charge advisors to be listed in our directory.

If we introduce paid listings in the future, they will be clearly labeled to maintain transparency.

We do not sell your data

Your personal data is never sold, rented, or traded to third parties. Your privacy is not a product.

Spiritual content privacy

We understand that exploring spiritual and esoteric topics is personal. Your browsing history, searches, and the advisors you view are private. We do not share this information with advisors, other users, or third parties.

Automated decision-making and profiling

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you. In the future, we may use algorithms to recommend content or advisors based on your interests, but you will always have control over these features.
