FTC & Affiliate Disclosure Policy

Edited by Gil Sapir

1. Why We Publish This Disclosure

In compliance with the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) guidelines regarding endorsements and testimonials in advertising (16 CFR Part 255), WearableTier provides full transparency regarding how our website, specification database, and comparison guides are funded.

Maintaining our smart ring specification database, Total Cost of Ownership calculators, and web infrastructure requires ongoing time and hosting resources. Rather than locking our comparison matrices behind a paid paywall, WearableTier participates in affiliate marketing programs.

2. Mandatory Amazon Associates Program Disclosure

WearableTier is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated international marketplaces. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

3. How Outbound Affiliate Links Function

When you click an outbound call-to-action button on WearableTier (such as "Check Price on Amazon", "View Buy Options", or "Order Official Sizing Kit First"), your browser is routed to the destination merchant with a tracking parameter appended to the URL (for example, tag=wearabletier-20).

If you complete a qualifying purchase on the merchant's site within a designated timeframe (typically 24 hours for Amazon), WearableTier receives a small referral commission.

Zero Extra Cost to You: You never pay more for a product by clicking an affiliate link on WearableTier. Retail marketplace prices are identical whether you use our link or navigate directly to the vendor.

No Buyer Personal Data Shared: Affiliate tags track aggregate referral counts only. WearableTier never receives your name, credit card details, billing address, or purchase history.

4. Editorial Independence

Our commitment to our readers is straightforward: commercial affiliate relationships do not alter our specification tables or TCO calculations.

Published Specifications

All device specifications, dimensions, battery ratings, and subscription costs are compiled from manufacturer documentation and public sources.

Objective Category Badges

Comparison badges (such as lowest 3-year cost, longest rated battery life, and lightest weight) are derived directly from published specification data.

5. Transparent Reporting of Subscription Fees

When a smart ring requires a recurring monthly or annual subscription fee to access core app insights, we state it clearly in our 3-year Total Cost of Ownership tables regardless of affiliate commission rates.
