Affiliate Disclaimer

Full transparency on how this site generates revenue

How we make money

PrivaGuide is funded entirely through affiliate commissions. When you click on certain links on our site and make a purchase, we may receive a commission from the product vendor. This comes at no additional cost to you.

Does this affect our reviews?

No. Our reviews are based on extensive testing following a transparent, published methodology. We assign scores based on objective criteria, not on commission rates.

As proof of our independence, we regularly recommend products that have no affiliate program at all, such as Mullvad VPN, Signal, and IVPN. If a product is great, we recommend it regardless of whether we earn anything from it.

How affiliate links work

Affiliate links on this site contain a tracking parameter that identifies PrivaGuide as the referral source. When you purchase through these links, the vendor knows we sent you and pays us a commission. All affiliate links are marked with the rel="nofollow sponsored" attribute as required by search engine guidelines.
