Affiliate Disclosure

1. FTC disclosure

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255), we want to be clear about how we make money. Home Security Guide is a reader-supported publication, and some of the links on this site are affiliate links.

When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission paid by the merchant. This never adds any cost to you — the price you pay is exactly the same as if you had gone directly to the merchant's site.

2. Our affiliate programs

Home Security Guide participates in several affiliate programs, including:

• Amazon Associates: as an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.
• Other programs: we may also be affiliated with other platforms and merchants that specialize in home security.

3. Identifying affiliate links

Affiliate links can be identified in several ways on our site:

• Buttons such as "Check price," "View on Amazon," "Buy now," and similar;
• Links embedded in our articles, guides, and comparisons;
• Explicit labels such as "affiliate link" or "sponsored link."

As a general rule, any link pointing to a merchant site may be an affiliate link.

4. Editorial independence

Our affiliate partnerships do not influence our recommendations. Our comparisons, tests, and reviews are made independently, based on objective criteria:

• Product quality and reliability;
• Value for the money;
• User reviews;
• Real-world, hands-on testing.

A product may be recommended even when no affiliate link is available, and a product with an affiliate link may receive a low rating if it does not perform well. Our priority is to give you reliable, honest information.

5. Why affiliate links?

Affiliate commissions allow us to fund the site and keep offering, free of charge:

• Detailed, regularly updated guides;
• Comparisons based on real-world testing;
• Expert home-security advice;
• Support to answer your questions.

By using our affiliate links for your purchases, you help us maintain and improve our service at no extra cost to you. Thank you for your support!

6. Affiliate data and tracking

Affiliate tracking relies on cookies and tracking pixels set by our merchant partners. These cookies identify that your purchase came from our site so the commission can be credited to us.

To learn more about how your data is handled in this context, see our Privacy Policy.
