The content on Trusty Guide (http://trustyguide.in/) is provided for informational and educational purposes. We believe in transparency and want to be upfront with our readers about how this website is funded.
1. Our Affiliate Model (How We Earn)
Trusty Guide participates in various affiliate marketing programs. This means that when you click on links to various merchant sites that you find on our website and make a purchase, this can result in a commission that is credited to this site.
We utilize an affiliate aggregation platform called Cuelinks (and potentially others) to automate this process. This technology functions by automatically converting product links on our website into affiliate links.
Because we use Cuelinks, we may earn a commission from a wide range of online retailers, banks, and service providers, including but not limited to:
- E-Commerce: Amazon India, Flipkart, Myntra, Ajio, Tata Cliq, ShopClues.
- Electronics & Hosting: Samsung, Croma, Hostinger, GoDaddy, Dell, HP.
- Travel: MakeMyTrip, Cleartrip, Agoda, Booking.com, Yatra.
- Finance: HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, IDFC First Bank, and other financial institutions.
- Lifestyle & Beauty: Nykaa, Mamaearth, Adidas, and others.
2. What This Means For You
- No Extra Cost: Buying a product through our affiliate links does not increase the price you pay. In many cases, our links may actually unlock specific discounts or offers.
- Tracking Cookies: When you click a link, a cookie may be placed in your browser to track the referral. This allows the merchant to know that you came from Trusty Guide so they can pay us a small commission.
3. Amazon Associates Disclosure
Note: Even if we use Cuelinks, if Amazon links appear on our site, we are required by Amazon’s strict operating agreement to display the following statement:
Trusty Guide is a participant in the Amazon Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.in and Amazon.com.
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
4. Editorial Integrity
Our reviews, comparisons, and recommendations are based on our own research, analysis, and personal experience.
- We are not paid directly by brands to write positive reviews.
- Our affiliate relationships do not dictate which products we recommend. If a product is mentioned on Trusty Guide, it is because we believe it provides value to our readers.
5. Limitation of Liability
While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, Trusty Guide cannot guarantee the availability, price, or quality of the products recommended. Any product claim, statistic, quote, or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer or provider.
