Disclosures.

CellDecide is an editorial and research site in Phase 1. We do not currently recommend specific clinics or hospitals publicly, and we do not currently receive clinic referral fees, sponsorships, or affiliate compensation from any regenerative-medicine provider.

CellDecide may eventually help readers compare or connect with vetted clinics or programs — including programs offered outside the United States. If that happens, the relationship and any compensation will be disclosed before or at the point of recommendation or introduction. The framework for how that disclosure works is below, written before any of it is live.

What is live now

The honest current state of every commercial surface on this site. Each line is exact: if something is not live, it says not live.

• Editorial content — live. Articles, methodology, evidence-tier guides, destination reading, clinic-quality checklists.
• Source-reviewed pages — live. Every page is checked against primary regulatory, scientific, and trial-registry sources before publication. See medical-review policy for what source review does and does not include.
• Email signup / waitlist — live. Single email field, page-source tag, no health intake. See privacy for what is and is not collected and stored.
• Display advertising — not live. No AdSense, Mediavine, or equivalent display network is configured on the site today.
• Behavioral retargeting pixels — not live. No Facebook Pixel, no Google Ads remarketing tag, no equivalent retargeting infrastructure.
• Affiliate links — not live. There are no affiliate links on the site at present.
• Clinic referrals or introductions — not live. We do not refer or introduce readers to specific clinics or hospitals, in any country.
• Paid clinic rankings — not live, and will never exist in a form that lets compensation determine an evidence rating.
• Sponsored clinic profiles — not live. If a sponsored surface is ever added, it will be labeled clearly and separated from editorial content.

When any of the above changes, this page is updated before the change goes live.

Email collection and waitlist

Email helps us learn what readers are researching and lets us tell interested readers when more detailed clinic-vetting notes, destination guides, or evaluation tools are ready. Submitting an email is a research and reading signal — not a clinical interaction.

• Readers may submit an email address to receive editorial updates, destination research, future clinic-vetting notes, and information when introduction or comparison tools become available.
• Submitting an email does not create a doctor-patient relationship with CellDecide, with any author of the site, or with any clinic.
• Submitting an email does not mean CellDecide is recommending a specific treatment, clinic, or destination.
• We collect only the email address (plus a tag for the page the signup came from). We do not collect medical records, diagnosis, symptoms, or health history through the public signup form.
• If a future intake form ever asks for any health detail, the privacy and disclosure language on this site will be updated before that form is launched.

The full inventory of what we store, how long we keep it, and the third parties that touch it lives at privacy.

Future clinic referrals and introductions

CellDecide may later add surfaces that go beyond editorial content. The realistic possibilities, named openly, are:

• Clinic and hospital reviews. Published evaluations of specific institutions using the clinic-review framework at methodology.
• Clinic-vetting notes. Per-clinic research on credentials, licensing, regulatory pathway, consent quality, and outcomes tracking.
• Reader introductions. Helping readers who have requested it connect with vetted clinics or programs relevant to the condition or treatment category they are researching.
• Referral fees, sponsorships, affiliate compensation, introduction fees, or clinic payments. Any of these is possible. None is live today.

If this changes, the rules below apply before any compensated surface ships.

• Any compensation is disclosed in plain English before or at the point of recommendation or introduction — not buried in a footer, not deferred to a separate page.
• The disclosure names what kind of compensation it is — flat fee, referral fee, sponsorship, affiliate relationship, paid placement — to the extent we can state it.
• Compensation cannot determine evidence ratings, regulatory summaries, or safety warnings.
• Compensation cannot erase a regulatory gap, an FDA enforcement record, a safety signal, or a thin evidence base.
• Compensation cannot remove the “uncertainty stays visible” principle on the page. If a treatment is investigational, the page says so even when the provider pays for placement.
• Paid clinics are evaluated under the same methodology as unpaid clinics — the same eight dimensions, the same evidence ladder, the same source review.

Affiliate links, sponsorships, and advertising

These are separable categories. Each has its own current state and its own future rules.

• Affiliate links — not live today. If added, an affiliate link means CellDecide may earn a small commission when a reader buys or signs up through the link, at no additional cost to the reader. Any affiliate link will be clearly labeled and tied to educational or research content, not to clinic-marketing offers.
• Sponsorships — not live today. Any sponsored content, if it ever exists, must be labeled above the fold on the page that carries it, in plain text, not hidden in a footer.
• Display advertising — not live today. If display ads are added later, they will not control editorial content, and the network used will be named on this page before the change goes live.
• Clinic referral fees and introduction fees — not live today. These are treated as a separate category from ordinary affiliate links because they involve healthcare decisions and, often, medical tourism. The disclosure standard in §4 above applies in full.

What compensation cannot change

This is the editorial firewall — the part of the disclosures policy that is not negotiable, in Phase 1 or in any future phase. Compensation, in any form, cannot change:

• The evidence framing we apply to a treatment on this site — whether the available evidence is early biology, an early human signal, controlled human trials, or condition-specific authorization. See how CellDecide weighs evidence.
• A treatment's FDA status or its local regulatory status in any jurisdiction.
• The site's clinical-review status or the disclosure that clinical review is not yet live.
• Safety language — adverse-event reporting, contraindication notes, complication-plan language.
• Which sources are cited or how they are cited.
• Whether a treatment is described as investigational, early, unproven, or condition-specific when that is what the evidence supports.
• Whether a clinic red flag is shown on the page when the pattern is present.
• Whether alternatives — standard care, registered trials, other paths for the same condition — are mentioned.

Medical and patient relationship limits

• CellDecide is not a clinic. We do not diagnose, treat, or administer any medical procedure.
• CellDecide does not provide medical advice. Pages are informational and source-reviewed; they are not personalized to a reader's case.
• Email signup, future newsletters, and any future clinic-introduction surface do not create a doctor-patient relationship.
• Readers should consult licensed clinicians before making medical decisions involving regenerative medicine or any related procedure.
• Medical tourism decisions involve real risk — clinical, financial, travel, legal, and follow-up — and we describe those risks on the relevant pages rather than smoothing them over.

How we handle conflicts on clinic pages

This is future-facing. No clinic page on the site today carries a financial relationship. When clinic pages do ship — paid or unpaid — the rules below apply.

• If a clinic page or recommendation involves a financial relationship, the disclosure appears near the clinic name or call-to-action — not at the bottom of the page, not on a separate disclosures-only page.
• The disclosure names the relationship type — referral fee, introduction fee, sponsorship, affiliate link, paid placement — to the extent we can state it.
• Where practical, the disclosure also indicates whether compensation is a flat fee, a per-referral fee, an ongoing sponsorship, or an affiliate commission.
• Unpaid clinics can still be reviewed. Inclusion does not require a commercial relationship, and the absence of one does not lower the bar on what is said about the clinic.
• A paid relationship does not guarantee favorable coverage. Compensated clinics are evaluated under the same framework as everyone else, and the page can say so — including, if accurate, that the treatment is investigational, that evidence is still developing, or that an alternative path may be more appropriate.

Corrections and questions

If a paid placement appears on the site without a visible disclosure, if a relationship is incorrectly described, if an email surface collects something this page says it does not, or if anything else on this disclosures page does not match what you actually see on the site — tell us. Disclosure errors are priority work.

For questions about what we collect, store, or share, see privacy. For the editorial standard behind the firewall above, see methodology.
