100% FTC Compliance Commitment (16 CFR § 255.5)
GB.ITech Picks believes that high-authority technology journalism requires complete commercial transparency. This disclosure explains how our publication sustains its operations, how our affiliate relationships work, and why reader trust remains our single highest priority.
How We Earn Revenue
GB.ITech Picks is a reader-supported publication. When you click on links to merchants, software providers, or retail platforms found on our site—or when you reveal and redeem a promotional coupon code—we may earn an affiliate commission from that merchant.
Importantly: This commission comes at absolutely zero additional cost to you. In fact, our verified coupon partnerships frequently provide readers with exclusive discounts and lower prices than standard retail checkout rates.
Editorial Independence Is Non-Negotiable
Our editorial ratings, benchmark scores, and “Top Pick” designations are driven strictly by objective test results produced in our Denver laboratory. Our commercial and affiliate partnerships do not dictate our editorial agenda:
- We frequently recommend products from companies with whom we have zero affiliate relationship when our benchmark data proves that product is best.
- If an affiliate partner produces a flawed or low-value product, we assign it a poor rating and warn our readers, regardless of commercial consequences.
- No retailer or brand is ever permitted to pay for positive reviews, altered pros/cons, or guaranteed placement on our best-of guides.
Affiliate Networks & Merchant Partners
GB.ITech Picks participates in various reputable affiliate marketing programs, including but not limited to:
- Amazon Services LLC Associates Program: As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
- Impact.com, CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction), and ShareASale: Direct performance networks connecting our laboratory with enterprise SaaS and hardware manufacturers.
- Direct Merchant Partnerships: Direct tracking agreements with top developer tooling, cybersecurity, and cloud infrastructure vendors.
