Right JCB, if that is all there is to it.

Wrong JCB, if one is writing publicly about a company's products and others
are assuming and relying on the objectivity of one's writing. THEN, sunshine
is the required anodyne. Get the connection out there where readers can see
it and then determine for themselves the extent to which the writer's
writings are truly independent, objective and worthy of reliance.

It's what an infamous ;-)  friend and colleague of ours on this list has
been saying for a while.
