Affiliate Disclosure
Welcome to Softhora. We value the trust you place in us, and part of maintaining that trust means being transparent about our practices, partnerships, affiliations, and the way we earn revenue.
The purpose of this Disclosure Page is to explain how Softhora operates, how we generate income, how we use affiliate links, how reviews are conducted, and what kind of relationships we may have with third parties.
In today’s digital landscape, transparency is crucial. Many websites recommend products, but not all disclose their connections to those products. At Softhora, we believe you deserve to know the truth behind every recommendation we make.
This Disclosure outlines everything you need to know about:
Our business model
Affiliate links and commissions
Sponsored content and partnerships
Product reviews and editorial integrity
Data privacy and user trust
Advertising policies
Ethical standards we uphold
Why a Disclosure Matters
As a platform dedicated to digital product reviews, lifetime deals, marketing tools, business tools, virtual assistants, VPN services, blog content, and news, we often feature tools and services that we believe can benefit our readers.
However, because Softhora occasionally earns commissions or receives benefits from some of these services, it’s important that we disclose this information upfront.
This ensures:
Transparency: You understand the financial relationships we may have.
Trustworthiness: Our content remains honest and unbiased.
Compliance: We align with guidelines from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), European Union regulations, and other global disclosure requirements.
Our Business Model
Softhora is a free-to-access online platform. You, as a reader, don’t pay to use our website or read our articles. Instead, our revenue comes from a mix of:
Affiliate Marketing
Sponsored Content
Advertising Partnerships
Direct Partnerships with Software Providers
These revenue streams allow us to:
Keep the site running
Cover operational costs
Pay our writers, editors, and researchers
Deliver free, valuable insights to you
Affiliate Links
One of the primary ways Softhora generates income is through affiliate marketing.
Here’s how it works:
When you click on certain product links on our website, you may be redirected to a third-party seller or service provider.
If you make a purchase through that link, Softhora may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
These commissions help support the continued growth of our platform.
Important Notes:
No Extra Cost to You: Using our affiliate links never increases the price you pay.
Independence: Commissions do not influence our product ratings or reviews.
Transparency: We clearly mark affiliate links whenever possible.
Examples of programs we may participate in include:
SaaS and software affiliate programs
VPN affiliate programs
Digital marketing tool partnerships
Lifetime deal platforms like AppSumo or PitchGround
Sponsored Content
At times, we may collaborate with software providers, marketing tool creators, or other businesses to produce sponsored articles, reviews, or advertisements.
Our Sponsored Content Principles:
Clear Disclosure: Sponsored content will always be marked as such.
Editorial Control: Even if content is sponsored, our editorial team ensures accuracy and fairness.
Relevance: We only accept sponsorships from products or services that align with Softhora’s niche (digital products, lifetime deals, marketing/business tools, VPNs, etc.).
Product Reviews & Editorial Integrity
One of Softhora’s core offerings is in-depth product reviews. Maintaining integrity in these reviews is critical.
Here’s our review process:
Research & Testing: We thoroughly analyze each tool, sometimes testing it directly.
Pros & Cons: We highlight both strengths and weaknesses.
Pricing Evaluation: We check whether the product is worth the cost.
Competitor Comparison: We compare with similar tools in the market.
User Feedback: We consider other real-world experiences from verified users.
Independence Policy:
We do not accept payment in exchange for favorable reviews.
Our team maintains independence from sales and marketing influences.
Even for affiliate products, our editorial opinion remains unbiased.
Advertising Partnerships
Softhora may display banner ads, video ads, or sponsored placements from third-party networks.
These ads are clearly separated from editorial content. However:
We do not endorse every product advertised.
Users should conduct their own due diligence before purchasing from advertisements.
Lifetime Deals & Promotions
Since Softhora specializes in highlighting lifetime deals, it’s important to note that:
Some deals featured may be affiliate-linked.
We verify deals before listing them to avoid scams or fake offers.
While lifetime deals can be highly valuable, we recommend readers carefully evaluate whether a tool meets their long-term needs.
VPN Services & Security Tools
As part of our niche, Softhora reviews VPNs and privacy tools.
For transparency:
We may earn commissions from VPN providers if you sign up through our links.
Our VPN reviews prioritize security, speed, usability, and trustworthiness.
We never recommend tools that compromise privacy.
Conflicts of Interest
To avoid conflicts of interest, Softhora follows strict rules:
Writers disclose if they have used a tool personally in business.
We separate editorial decisions from affiliate earnings.
Our recommendations are based on value for users, not revenue potential.
Legal Compliance
Softhora complies with:
FTC Guidelines on Endorsements & Testimonials (U.S.)
EU Unfair Commercial Practices Directive
UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) guidelines
Other relevant consumer protection laws
This ensures our disclosures are not just ethical, but also legally compliant.
User Trust & Data Privacy
Earning commissions doesn’t mean we compromise on your privacy.
Clicking an affiliate link may result in cookies being placed on your browser for tracking purposes.
These cookies only track sales and do not collect sensitive personal data.
Softhora does not sell or misuse user data.
