Advertising policy
We occasionally carry advertising content in our editorial stream. To make this clear, such content is labelled as ‘sponsored by’, or ‘in partnership with’, has author name ‘sponsor’, and any associated tweets carry the word ‘(sponsor’). After an initial trial period, in which we tried various approaches, we now avoid blatant SEO-style advertising and material from ‘content farms’ and work with advertisers to make sponsored content of genuine interest to a London audience.
Competitions policy
Competitions on Londonist are nearly always commercially arranged and marked ‘sponsored’ as highlighted above. Normally, we need to take an email address in order to notify winners. We will never share contact details with third parties (such as the company behind the competition) without opt-in permission. Nor will we store or use your details ourselves, other than to notify winners.
