In plain English: how we make money, what that does (and doesn't) influence, and what your rights are as a reader.
Screen-Protectors.com participates in the Amazon Associates Program (United States) and equivalent regional programs operated by Amazon in the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Poland and Sweden. When you click an Amazon link on this site and subsequently buy something — even a different product — Amazon pays us a small percentage of the order as commission. You pay nothing extra. The price you see on Amazon is the price you'd see if you went to Amazon directly without us.
All Amazon links on Screen-Protectors.com carry our affiliate tracking tag. Amazon's OneLink service automatically routes US-store links to the appropriate regional Amazon storefront based on the visitor's country — so a reader in Berlin clicking a link on our US edition is redirected to Amazon.de in their local language, with prices in euros, and we receive the correct regional Amazon Associates commission. A reader in Toronto is redirected to Amazon.ca. A reader in Madrid lands on Amazon.es. This is how reputable international publishers handle Amazon affiliate links across borders, and it's why our links can work for visitors regardless of where they live.
The fact that we earn commissions when you buy through our links has zero influence over our rankings. We have been refusing paid placements since 2003, and we continue to refuse them. The four-criteria methodology described in our About page — clarity, durability, installation, value — is applied before any commercial consideration. A product earns its Top 10 position. It cannot be bought.
The only thing affiliate links do is keep the lights on. Without them, this site doesn't exist. With them, you get independent reviews and we get to keep writing them — and you pay nothing extra in the process. We think that's a fair exchange, and we want you to understand the model fully so you can decide whether you trust us.
Every Amazon link on this site is marked with the standard rel="sponsored nofollow" attribute, in line with Google's guidance for affiliate disclosure at the HTML level. They open in a new tab so you can return to the original review easily. You'll see Amazon's familiar branding, pricing in your local currency, and Amazon's normal Prime / shipping / returns policies — we are not a retailer and never see your payment information.
This site complies with the United States Federal Trade Commission's "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising" (16 CFR Part 255). We clearly and conspicuously disclose our material connection with Amazon at the point of every review (a "Affiliate disclosure" block near the top of the homepage), in our footer, and on this dedicated disclosure page. Specific Amazon language required by the Associates Operating Agreement:
Screen-Protectors.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc., or its affiliates. As an Amazon Associate, Screen-Protectors.com earns from qualifying purchases.
For readers in the European Union, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, our regional editions comply with the EU Unfair Commercial Practices Directive, the UK Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008, and applicable national consumer law. Our German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Polish and Swedish editions carry equivalent disclosures in the local language.
If anything on this page is unclear, or if you'd like more detail on how we earn money, please contact us. Transparency is genuinely important to us — we would much rather over-explain than leave room for doubt.
