OudGuide Operating & Editorial Policies
Operational principles governing editorial neutrality, buyer privacy protection, and transparent commercial affiliations.
1. Neutral Wholesale Matching
OudGuide acts as a neutral wholesale introduction service. All initial inquiry matching is brand-neutral. Eligible suppliers receive redacted technical briefs with zero buyer contact information until explicit buyer approval.
2. Commercial Affiliation & Referral Disclosure
Certain educational guides include clearly identified retail referral modules to our authorized merchant partner, Al Mutalib Perfumes in Dubai (ae.almutalib.com), for personal retail sampling. All referral links carry standard rel="sponsored" attributes.
3. Public Contact Protection Standard
Direct contact numbers, emails, and street addresses remain completely hidden on all basic research profiles. Contact information is only unlocked for businesses that have verified ownership and activated Annual Business Visibility.
