Affiliate Marketing Disclosure

1. What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are special tracking links that allow us to earn a small commission when you purchase products through them. When you click on an affiliate link in our app and make a purchase, the merchant pays us a percentage of the sale at no additional cost to you.

2. FTC Compliance Statement

This disclosure is made in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255: "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising." We are committed to providing honest, transparent recommendations to our users.
