Disclosure Policy
We believe transparency is the foundation of trust. Here is exactly how we make money, what that means for our editorial process, and what it doesn't mean.
Affiliate Marketing
ExpertPicked.com participates in affiliate marketing programs. When you click a link to a product or service on our site and subsequently make a purchase, we may earn a commission from the retailer or brand. This commission comes at no additional cost to you — you pay the same price whether you arrive via our link or navigate directly to the retailer.
We participate in affiliate programs operated by retailers and networks including, but not limited to, Amazon Associates, Commission Junction, ShareASale, Impact, and direct brand programs. Links that generate commissions are standard hyperlinks; we do not use deceptive markup to obscure their commercial nature.
What Affiliate Relationships Do NOT Affect
Which products we choose to review or include in a roundup
How we rank products within a review — rankings are determined by our scoring criteria alone
The content of our assessments, including criticisms and negative findings
Whether a product earns an "ExpertPicked" recommendation badge
Our testing methodology or evaluation criteria
We review products we believe are genuinely relevant to our readers. If a highly-ranked product does not have an affiliate program, it is still included and ranked on its merits. We do not accept payment to include a product in a review or to improve its ranking.
Sponsored Content
ExpertPicked.com does not publish sponsored articles, native advertising, or paid placements disguised as editorial content. If this policy changes, any sponsored content will be clearly labeled as such at the top of the article and excluded from our standard review rankings.
Free Products & Review Samples
Some products reviewed on ExpertPicked.com may have been provided by manufacturers or brands free of charge for review purposes. Receipt of a free sample does not guarantee coverage, a positive review, or any particular ranking. We disclose when a product was provided as a review sample at the bottom of the relevant article.
FTC Compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), we disclose material connections between ExpertPicked and any brands or products we review. The affiliate commission disclosure at the bottom of each page constitutes our general disclosure. Article-specific disclosures appear where additional clarity is warranted.
