Last Updated: October 22, 2025
Effective Date: October 22, 2025
Our Commitment to Transparency
We are committed to honest, transparent communication with our users:
- • All commercial relationships are disclosed clearly and prominently
- • Sponsored content is explicitly labeled as such
- • Editorial integrity is maintained regardless of business relationships
- • Course recommendations are based on quality and relevance, not compensation alone
- • We comply with all applicable advertising disclosure regulations
Affiliate Relationships and Partnerships
What Are Affiliate Programs?
TechVault participates in affiliate marketing programs. When you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase or enrollment, we may receive a commission from the vendor or service provider. This comes at no additional cost to you.
Affiliate relationships exist with technology platforms, cloud service providers, certification bodies, and educational tool vendors whose products and services complement our training programs.
How Affiliate Commissions Work
When we reference external tools, platforms, or resources:
- → Commission-Based Links: Some hyperlinks contain tracking codes that identify traffic from our website
- → Revenue Sharing: We receive a percentage of sales or enrollments made through these links
- → No Additional Cost: Affiliate commissions do not increase the price you pay
- → Cookie Tracking: Affiliate programs may use cookies to track conversions over specified time periods
Product Recommendation Policies
Our recommendations are based on thorough evaluation of tools, platforms, and services that genuinely benefit our students. While affiliate relationships may exist, we only recommend products we believe offer real value. The presence of an affiliate relationship does not guarantee a recommendation, and we regularly recommend non-affiliate products when they best serve our users' needs.
Financial Relationship Transparency
We maintain transparent relationships with our partners:
- • Affiliate relationships with cloud platform providers (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud)
- • Partnerships with certification bodies and professional organizations
- • Referral arrangements with technology tool and software vendors
- • Educational content partnerships with industry publications
Sponsored Content and Paid Promotions

We occasionally publish sponsored content or paid promotions. All sponsored materials are clearly labeled with one of the following disclosures:
- • "Sponsored Content"
- • "Paid Partnership"

Sponsored Post Labeling Policies
When we publish sponsored content:
- • Disclosures appear prominently at the beginning of the content
- • Visual indicators clearly differentiate sponsored content from editorial content
- • The sponsoring company or brand is identified
- • Disclosures cannot be hidden or obscured through design choices
Brand Partnership Disclosures
We maintain partnerships with technology brands and educational platforms. These partnerships may involve financial compensation, free access to tools or services, or other considerations. Such relationships are disclosed when relevant to the content being presented. Our editorial team maintains independence in evaluating and presenting information, even within sponsored contexts.
Content Authenticity Guarantees
Even when content is sponsored, we maintain quality standards:
- • All claims are verified and factually accurate
- • Content must provide genuine value to our audience
- • Sponsored content aligns with our educational mission
