Affiliate Disclosure
ProPrivacyTime is reader-supported. Some pages contain affiliate links. This page explains exactly what that means and what it does not mean.
What an affiliate link is
Some outbound links to vendor pages carry a tracking code. If you click one and later buy from that vendor, the vendor may pay us a commission. You pay exactly the same price either way. The commission comes out of the vendor's marketing budget, not yours.
How we mark it
Every page that carries affiliate links shows a disclosure bar at the top, and the affiliate link itself is labelled. Where a page contains no affiliate relationship, it says so in the same place. We would rather a page state plainly that it is not commercial than imply otherwise.
What commission never changes
Commission does not decide whether a product is covered, and it does not decide whether the product is good. A tool with a generous affiliate program is not recommended unless its own documents support the recommendation, and a tool with no affiliate program at all is covered on the same terms as one that pays us.
Our evaluation method is described in full on the Editorial Policy page, and the reasoning behind each site's approach to reading documentation is on the About page.
How source tracking works
Our landing pages append a short source code to outbound links so we can tell which page a reader came from and whether a link worked as intended. This is a technical parameter on the URL. It does not change the destination, does not change the price, and does not affect how a product is described on the page. We do not use it to build a profile of you, and we do not sell reader data of any kind.
Advertising
At present we run no display advertising and no ad networks on this site. If that changes, this page will say so, and ad slots will be labelled as such.
