Who owns ScopePress.uk?
Rock Bay Media Ltd., a private company limited by shares registered in Gibraltar (company number 128512), wholly owns ScopePress.uk. The registered office is Suite 21, Portland House, Glacis Road, Gibraltar GX11 1AA. No external editorial shareholders or outside investors hold any control over editorial content.
The company is privately held and does not receive funding from venture capital, private equity, or any external investment that could compromise editorial independence. All ownership and control remain within Rock Bay Media Ltd., ensuring that editorial decisions are made solely by the editorial team led by the Editor-in-Chief. There are no parent companies, holding groups or third-party stakeholders with editorial oversight. This structure guarantees that coverage of UK consumer tech, gadgets, AI, cybersecurity and digital culture remains free from commercial or political interference.
How is ScopePress.uk funded?
ScopePress.uk is funded through display advertising, affiliate links (including tech retailer and software affiliate links), commercial partnerships, sponsored content, newsletter sponsorships and content licensing. All commercial material is clearly labelled so readers can distinguish it from independent editorial content.
Display advertising appears across the site and is managed directly by the commercial team. Affiliate links are used within product reviews, buying guides and some news articles; when a reader clicks an affiliate link and makes a purchase, ScopePress.uk may earn a commission at no extra cost to the reader. All affiliate relationships are disclosed in accordance with our advertising and affiliate disclosure policy. Sponsored content and commercial partnerships are clearly marked with labels such as “Sponsored,” “Partner Content” or “Promoted” and are governed by our sponsored content policy. Newsletter sponsorships and content licensing provide additional revenue streams, all subject to the same transparency requirements. No funding source — whether advertising, affiliate, sponsorship or licensing — ever determines editorial conclusions or coverage priorities.
Does commercial funding affect editorial coverage?
No. Advertisers, sponsors and commercial partners never control editorial coverage at ScopePress.uk. Editorial independence is guaranteed by the publication’s governance structure and is enforced by the Editor-in-Chief.
Our editorial policy explicitly states that commercial relationships have no bearing on editorial decisions, product review scores, story selection or the tone of reporting. All journalists, reviewers and contributors operate under strict guidelines that prohibit commercial influence. Sponsored content is clearly separated from editorial content, and affiliate links are used only where they add genuine value for readers. The editorial team is never required to seek approval from commercial partners for any story, review or analysis piece. Any breach of this principle is treated as a serious matter and is addressed through our internal governance procedures.
