FTC Disclosure (not alien disclosure)
FTC disclosure rules enacted on December 1, 2009, required bloggers to disclose their relationships to companies, products, and services, in an aim to reveal a blogger's potential biases and hidden interests.
This means that I must include a 'disclosure' when discussing certain kind of relationships, or products, such as when writing a product review about a gadget, company or service.
If I receive a product or service from a company to write a my personal opinions in a product review, I will need to also disclose this information. Although I intend to disclose my relevant relationships when blogging/vlogging and writing reviews, there are times when I may not get a chance to do so.
For example, I might get company schwag like a t-shirt to wear that might be in a photo or video, and I may not get a chance to disclose this. If you see something like this, feel free to assume that I may have received that item from them.
Also, as my page evolves, there will be a number of affiliate marketing links present, where I may make a tiny profit if someone uses my referral link to make a purchase on a product or service. I'll also disclose this, but it's safe to assume that the links on this sight might be affiliate links.
