Affiliate Disclosure
Transparency is one of our core values. Here's how we make money.
How We Earn Revenue
CyberShield Reviews is an independently-owned website that may receive compensation from the companies whose products we review. This compensation comes in the form of affiliate commissions.
When you click on certain links on our site and make a purchase, we may receive a commission from the VPN provider. This is at no additional cost to you - in fact, many of our affiliate links offer exclusive discounts that aren't available elsewhere.
Editorial Independence
Our reviews are never influenced by compensation. We maintain strict editorial independence - the amount of commission a VPN offers has absolutely no bearing on our ratings or recommendations.
Our review methodology is consistent across all products, and we often recommend VPNs that offer lower commissions when they provide better value for users. We've also given negative reviews to VPNs that are among our highest-paying partners.
All product rankings are based on our proprietary scoring system that evaluates security, speed, features, usability, and value - never on affiliate rates.
Our Commitment to You
We believe that being transparent about how we make money actually builds trust with our readers. Here's what we promise:
- We will always disclose when links are affiliate links
- We will never let commission rates influence our ratings
- We will recommend the best product for each use case, regardless of payout
- We will maintain the same review standards for all products
- We will update reviews when products change
