Privacy Policy & Affiliate Disclosures

FTC Disclosure (16 CFR Part 255)

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255), we disclose that we have a material connection to certain merchants and affiliate networks, including Impact, AvantLink, CJ Affiliate, Awin, ShareASale, and Amazon Associates. That connection is a financial one: we may receive compensation when a reader completes a qualifying purchase after clicking a link on this site.

• A clear disclosure appears near the top of every page containing affiliate links, before any such link.
• Affiliate links are labeled with calls to action such as "Check Availability" and carry rel="sponsored nofollow noopener".
• We do not publish fabricated reviews, undisclosed endorsements, or claims we have not verified. Opinions expressed are those of the research desk based on our testing.
• Where we receive a product sample, loan, or other free item, we state this in the relevant article.

Amazon Associates Statement

SportsTech Research Desk 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. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.

Prices cited on this site are baseline MSRP ranges and are not live. Current price and availability are shown on the Amazon product page and may change. Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.

Editorial Independence

• Commission rates never determine sensor accuracy scores, rankings, or recommendations.
• We do not accept paid placements, sponsored rankings, or manufacturer compensation for inclusion or favorable coverage.
• Unstable heart-rate tracking, poor GNSS performance, or predatory subscription models are reported plainly, regardless of the brand's affiliate status.
• Merchants cannot review or approve our findings before publication.
• We are not a coupon, voucher, or deal site.

Outbound Redirect Privacy Notice

Commercial links on this site route through an internal redirect path of the form /go/<brand> before sending you to the merchant. These redirects are excluded from search indexing (X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow) and are used to keep links accurate and to attribute referrals.

• The redirect forwards you to the merchant or affiliate network with a referral identifier (such as a tracking ID or SubID) that identifies this site and the page the click came from. It does not include your name, email address, or other personal details.
• Once you reach a merchant or network, their own privacy policies and cookies apply. Affiliate networks may set cookies to credit referrals; the cookie duration is set by the merchant.
• We do not receive your purchase details, payment information, or account information from merchants. We see only aggregated commission reports.
• You can limit tracking by blocking third-party cookies in your browser or using a privacy extension; doing so may prevent us from receiving credit for referrals but does not affect your price.

Information We Collect

We do not require accounts and do not sell personal information. Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs (IP address, user agent, requested URL, timestamp) for security and operations. If you email us, we use your message and address only to respond. This site is not directed at children under 13.
