FTC Disclosure / Affiliate & Brand Partnership Disclosure

Effective Date: April 2025

Our Commitment to Transparency

Trekker Heck Photography ("THP") is committed to being transparent about our business relationships, as required by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and consistent with our values as a creator brand.

Paid Brand Partnerships

We work with outdoor and adventure brands through paid content creation agreements and ambassadorships. This includes, but is not limited to, brands such as BioLite, KÜHL, AeroPress, Goal Zero, and others. When content is created as part of a paid relationship, it will be labeled with a disclosure such as:

• #ad

• #sponsored

• #partner

• "Paid partnership with [Brand]"

• "This post was created in partnership with [Brand] and includes sponsored content."

User-Generated Content (UGC)

Some content on this site and our social media channels is produced as user-generated content (UGC) for brands. UGC content created for compensation will be disclosed accordingly.

Affiliate Links

If we include affiliate links in our content — links through which we may earn a commission if you make a purchase — we will disclose this at the point of the link or at the top of the content. We only recommend products we genuinely use and believe in.

Editorial Independence

All opinions, photography, and written content on this site are our own. Brand partnerships and affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial perspective or the authenticity of our content.
