Legal & privacy

Four documents in one place: how we handle your data, which cookies we set, the terms you agree to by using Affilobase, and what our program data is — and is not — a promise of.

Disclaimer

What our data is worth, how we earn, and where your own judgement has to take over.

1. Accuracy of program data

Commission rates, cookie windows, payout thresholds and country eligibility are checked by hand against the advertiser's own terms at the time of publication, and re-checked on a rolling basis. They still change without notice, and sometimes without the advertiser announcing it. Always confirm the current terms in the program's own dashboard before you build content around it. Our changelog shows what we caught and when.

2. How we earn

Affilobase is free for affiliates because some outbound links are affiliate links: if you join a program through one, we may receive a commission at no cost to you. Some advertisers also pay for a verified listing.

Neither buys a better score or a higher position. The Affilobase Score is calculated from the same eight documented factors for every program in the directory, paid or not, and paid placements are labelled as such. If that ever stops being true, this page stops being true, and we would rather change the business model than the page.

3. What the Affilobase Score is

A comparison aid, computed from published program characteristics — commission level and model, cookie duration, network reliability, payout terms, transparency and channel fit. It is not a rating of the advertiser's product, financial health, or how pleasant they are to work with. Two programs one point apart are, in practice, the same program.

4. No earnings promise

Earnings calculators and EPC figures on this site are illustrative models based on the inputs you provide. They are not a forecast, a target, or a representation of typical results. What you actually earn depends on your traffic, your niche, your content, the advertiser's conversion rate and approval policy, and factors none of us control. Most affiliates earn less than the examples shown. Treat every number here as a starting point for your own calculation.

5. Not professional advice

Nothing on Affilobase is legal, tax, accounting or financial advice. Affiliate income is taxable and the rules differ per country and per status — talk to an accountant about your own situation before you plan around it. Content about financial, crypto or investment programs is informational only and is never a recommendation to invest.

6. External sites

We link to advertisers, networks and reference material. We have no control over those sites and accept no responsibility for their content, their availability, their terms or their treatment of your data. A link is not an endorsement of everything the destination does.

7. Found a mistake?

Tell us at info@affiliatemarketingprograms.net. Corrections to program data are the fastest thing we do — an out-of-date directory is worth nothing, and a reader who reports an error is doing the whole thing a favour.
