ADVERTISING
DISCLOSURE
Last Updated: October 28, 2025
OUR COMMITMENT TO TRANSPARENCY
At Flash Drive, we believe in complete transparency regarding any advertising, affiliate relationships, or sponsored content on our website. This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising.
We are committed to providing honest, unbiased information about our services and any third-party products or services we may reference. This page outlines our advertising relationships and how they may affect the content on our website.
1. AFFILIATE RELATIONSHIPS
Affiliate Programs Participation
Flash Drive may participate in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn commissions on products or services purchased through links on our website. When you click on certain links and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.
How Affiliate Links Work
- ▸ When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, the merchant pays us a small commission
- ▸ The commission comes from the merchant's marketing budget, not from your purchase price
- ▸ You pay the same price whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the merchant
- ▸ Affiliate relationships do not influence our honest assessment or recommendations
Product Recommendations
We only recommend products, services, or tools that we have personally used, evaluated, or genuinely believe will provide value to our audience. The presence of an affiliate relationship does not influence the integrity of our recommendations. We maintain editorial independence and provide honest opinions about all products and services, regardless of potential compensation.
Financial Transparency
We believe in full disclosure of our financial relationships. Any content that contains affiliate links will be clearly marked or disclosed. Types of affiliate relationships may include:
- • Game development tools and software
- • Educational resources and courses
- • Professional services for game developers
- • Technology platforms and hosting services
2. SPONSORED CONTENT
Paid Promotions and Partnerships
From time to time, Flash Drive may publish sponsored content, paid promotions, or work with brand partners. All sponsored content will be clearly identified and distinguished from our regular content.
Identification of Sponsored Content
Any sponsored posts, paid reviews, or brand partnerships will be clearly labeled with disclosures such as "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," "Ad," or similar language. We ensure that readers can easily identify content that has been compensated by third parties.
Editorial Integrity
Sponsored content does not compromise our editorial integrity. We maintain full editorial control over all content, including sponsored posts. We reserve the right to decline sponsored content opportunities that do not align with our values or the interests of our audience.
Honest Reviews
If we receive compensation to review a product or service, we will disclose this relationship clearly. Our reviews remain honest and objective, highlighting both strengths and weaknesses. We will never recommend a product solely because of financial compensation.
