Earnings Disclosure

Last updated:

1. Who We Are

SecurityReview.org is an independent research publication dedicated to helping consumers discover the very best personal and home‑security products on the market. Our editorial team aggregates detailed lab tests, expert opinions, and hands‑on user feedback to create a single Metascore™ that reflects the broad market consensus for each product.

2. How We Make Money

To keep our content free and ad‑light, we participate in several affiliate marketing programs. When you click an outbound link to a retailer or service provider and complete a purchase, we may receive a small commission—at no extra cost to you. These commissions cover hosting, testing equipment, and expert honoraria so we can continue publishing unbiased research.

3. Editorial Independence

Our ratings, rankings, and recommendations are driven solely by product performance and user value—not by affiliate partnerships. Retailers and manufacturers cannot buy a higher score, placement, or guaranteed review. When a sponsored placement does appear (for example, in a banner or call‑out box), it is always labeled “Sponsored” and kept separate from editorial content.

4. Impact on Prices

The price you pay is never increased because of our affiliate links. In fact, many links include exclusive coupon codes negotiated to lower your final checkout price. If a coupon is available, we disclose it next to the link.

5. Methodology & Conflicts of Interest

Each Metascore is calculated from a weighted blend of the following, all documented in our testing methodology page:

  1. Independent laboratory benchmarks (40 %)
  2. Expert technical reviews from vetted security professionals (35 %)
  3. Long‑term user satisfaction surveys (15 %)
  4. Warranty, support, and total cost of ownership analysis (10 %)

Team members must disclose any personal or financial relationships that could influence coverage. Reviews are reassigned if a conflict exists.

6. Updates & Accuracy

We audit prices and product specs at least once every 30 days. However, real‑time price changes or coupon expirations may occasionally slip through. If you notice a discrepancy, please let us know so we can correct it promptly.

7. Questions?

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests for additional disclosure, please reach out via our Contact Form. We answer most queries within two business days.
