How We‘re Transparent
No hidden agendas. No fine print surprises. Here’s exactly how we operate—from how we make money to how we protect your data.
We Believe You Deserve to Know
Trust isn’t automatic—it’s built. That’s why we lay everything out in the open. If you ever have a question about how we operate, you can start here. And if you don’t find what you’re looking for, just ask. We’ll answer honestly.
How We Make Money
You’ve heard us talk about “The Campfire.” Here’s what that means in practice:
When you click a product link in one of our guides and make a purchase, we may earn a commission. You don’t pay more. We just get a small percentage from the retailer.
- We only recommend products we’ve tested or extensively vetted.
- Commissions never influence our rankings.
- We clearly label all affiliate links.
“The fire is free for everyone. The wood comes from recommendations we believe in.”
— Alexander Sterling, Founder
Editorial Independence
No one can buy a spot in our guides. We don’t accept payment for coverage. Every review and recommendation is the honest opinion of our experts. If a brand wants to partner with us, we handle that separately—and always disclose it.
You can read more about our editorial process in our Editorial Standards.
Your Privacy, Simplified
We collect only what’s necessary to improve your experience and communicate with you. We never sell your personal information to anyone. Period.
Here’s what that means in plain English:
- Email addresses are used only for newsletters or replies—never shared.
- Cookies help us understand which content is most useful.
- All data is stored securely, and you can request deletion anytime.
(For all the legal details, we’ve got you covered.)
