Affiliate Relationships
HRV Zone participates in affiliate marketing programs, including:
- Amazon Associates Program: We earn commissions from qualifying purchases made through our Amazon links
- Direct partnerships: Some device and app companies provide affiliate links
When you click a product link and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. These commissions help fund our research, testing, and content creation.
How This Affects Our Reviews
It doesn't. Our editorial process is completely independent from our affiliate relationships.
Here's our commitment to you:
- We test and research products whether or not they have affiliate programs
- Negative reviews are published when warranted, even for affiliate partners
- Products are ranked by merit, not commission rates
- We disclose when we haven't personally tested a product
Many products we recommend (like free apps) don't earn us anything. We include them because they're genuinely useful.
How to Identify Affiliate Links
Links to Amazon and other retailers on our device and comparison pages are typically affiliate links. You can usually identify them by:
- URLs containing "amazon.com" with tracking parameters
- "Buy on Amazon" or similar purchase buttons
- Links from product review pages
Internal links to our own guides and pages are never affiliate links.
