Disclosure, Affiliate & Sponsored Content Policy (Shared Passports)

Last updated: January 23, 2026

At Shared Passports, we believe in being transparent with our readers. This Disclosure explains how we make money from this website and how partnerships may appear in our content.

1) Who we are

Shared Passports is a travel website created by a sibling travel duo based in Canada and the UK. We share travel guides, itineraries, hotel recommendations, and travel tips to help you plan better trips.

2) Affiliate links (how we may earn commission)

Some links on SharedPassports.com may be affiliate links. This means that if you click a link and make a purchase or booking, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

Affiliate commissions help us keep the site running (hosting, tools, writing, photography, and updates) and allow us to keep publishing free content.

Important:

  • You will always pay the same price (or sometimes less, if a partner has a promotion).
  • We only recommend products, services, and experiences that we genuinely believe are useful for travelers.

Examples of affiliate partners may include (but are not limited to): hotel booking platforms, travel insurance providers, tours/activities platforms, transportation tools, and travel products.

3) Sponsored content & paid partnerships

From time to time, we may publish sponsored content, meaning we may be paid by a brand, tourism board, hotel, airline, or other partner to create content.

When something is sponsored, we will clearly label it with wording such as:
“Sponsored,” “Paid partnership,” “In collaboration with,” or similar.

Our editorial integrity

Even when content is sponsored:

  • Our opinions are our own.
  • We aim to share honest, helpful information.
  • We do not accept sponsorships that require us to say things we do not believe.
  • If something wasn’t a great fit, we will either say so or choose not to publish it.

4) Complimentary stays, gifted experiences, and press trips

Sometimes we may receive complimentary products, tickets, hotel stays, or travel experiences (for example: media rates, hosted stays, tourism board invitations, or press trips).

If we receive something for free or at a discounted rate and it influences the content, we will disclose it clearly in the post (or at the beginning of the video/article).

5) Advertising (including Google AdSense)

This website may display ads served by advertising partners, including Google AdSense and other ad networks.

These ads may use cookies or similar technologies to show:

  • non-personalized ads, or
  • personalized ads based on your activity or interests (depending on your location and consent settings).

For more details on how data is handled, please see our Privacy Policy and (if applicable on your site) Cookie Policy.

6) Reviews, recommendations, and accuracy

We do our best to keep information accurate and up to date, but travel details can change quickly (prices, hours, routes, visa rules, availability, etc.).

You are responsible for confirming important details directly with the official provider before booking or traveling.

Reviews & recommendations

If we review a hotel, product, tour, or service:

  • we may have paid for it ourselves or received it through a partnership, and we will disclose that clearly.
  • our goal is to give practical, real-world feedback to help you decide.

7) External links

SharedPassports.com may link to other websites. We are not responsible for the content, policies, or services of third-party websites. Always review their terms and privacy policies before purchasing or booking.

8) Questions or concerns
