Affiliate Disclosure

SecurityChecklist may earn compensation when you purchase through tracked links. That compensation does not change testing criteria or product scores. Every affiliate click routes through first-party tracking.

Read free remedies and who-should-not-buy language before any Visit or View Deal click. Prefer /security-checkup/ while Treat missing CTAs as an integrity hold, not a broken layout.

This disclosure is not a coupon list, savings guarantee, or ranking of Aura, NordPass, Bitdefender, or any other product. No automatic redirects. No fabricated scarcity.

This disclosure explains how commercial relationships work so you can evaluate recommendations with full context. It applies wherever Visit, View Deal, or similar tracked CTAs appear.

Launch products under consideration include Aura, Incogni, NordPass, 1Password, Bitdefender, Malwarebytes, and selected Surfshark security products, each only after program approval and destination verification.

Readers who need a decision today should still start with free remedies and /security-checkup/. Paid CTAs are optional after that framing.

Base wording used near commercial recommendations: "SecurityChecklist may earn compensation when you purchase through links on this page. This does not change our testing criteria or product scores."

We do not use cloaking, fake countdowns, fake scarcity, false discounts, or fabricated coupon codes. We do not auto-redirect you to an affiliate destination without an intentional click.

Disclosure must remain visible near the recommendation on mobile without opening an accordion. Footer-only disclosure is not enough for tracked CTAs.

A higher commission cannot move a product above another in a best-of list. Missing deal links on comparison-only products (for example DeleteMe or LifeLock) are integrity controls, not UI bugs.

Starting prices publish only from verified source captures with access dates; otherwise commercial terms stay pending verification. Affiliate eligibility alone is never enough to publish a score, invent testing hours, or invent a coupon.

Finders and checkups may show optional paid product notes after free remedies. Those links still use first-party tracking with page and placement attribution when affiliate destinations are live.

A tool fit estimate is not a score purchased by commission. If affiliate destinations are not verified, CTAs stay inactive rather than inventing merchant URLs.

Affiliate clicks pass through our own first-party deal links, limited to an approved merchant list. Arbitrary open redirects are not allowed.

Geo-aware routing is used only where product availability has been verified for the user's country. Commission amounts are not shown as editorial scores.

Safe attribution fields include merchant record, page id, placement, and derived subid. Destinations resolve from configured affiliate settings; missing destinations stay inactive.

Do not treat this page as a product ranking, coupon list, or guarantee of savings. Anyone mid-compromise needs vendor or institutional help, not an affiliate click.

If a tracked CTA is missing, that is often an integrity hold, not a broken layout. Use free remedies while destinations stay inactive.

If a program becomes unavailable or a destination fails verification, CTAs are removed or swapped to a non-affiliate path. Editorial scores are not adjusted to chase higher payouts.

Questions about a specific link or disclosure placement can be raised via Contact.

For disclosure questions, use /contact/ or intel@securitycheckli.st. Do not send account passwords or payment credentials. Security issues belong on /security/.
