Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: December 2024

What is an Affiliate?

FreeDEALS is an affiliate marketing platform. This means we partner with online merchants and retailers to help connect you with their products and services.

How We Make Money

We earn commission from merchants when:

You click on a deal link on our website

You complete a purchase through our affiliate link

You sign up for services through our referral link

This does NOT affect the price you pay. You will pay the same price (or less with deals) whether you shop directly from the merchant or through our affiliate link.

Our Affiliate Partners

We work with major affiliate networks including:

**vCommission**: India's leading affiliate network

Individual merchants and retailers

E-commerce platforms and services

Each partner has their own commission structure and tracking systems.

Transparency and Honesty

We are committed to:

Clearly disclosing our affiliate relationships

Never misleading you about products or services

Providing honest reviews and recommendations

Using "sponsored" links to indicate affiliate URLs

Following all FTC guidelines and Indian advertising standards

Commission Structure

Our commission varies by:

**Merchant**: Different merchants offer different rates (typically 1-10%)

**Product Category**: Electronics, fashion, and groceries offer different rates

**Campaign**: Special promotions may offer higher rates

**Affiliate Network**: Rates vary by network

We do NOT prioritize deals based on commission. Our deal selection is based on value to you, not how much we earn.

What We Share with Partners

When you click through our affiliate links, we share:

Your click timestamp (for tracking purposes)

The type of device you're using

Your approximate location (country/region)

Whether the purchase was completed

We do NOT share:

Your name or email (unless you provide it to the merchant)

Your personal financial information

Your search history or browsing data

Your password or account credentials

Third-Party Verification

Our affiliate tracking uses:

**Cookie-based tracking**: Identifies when you came from FreeDEALS

**Pixel tracking**: Tracks conversions across merchant websites

**Direct attribution**: For direct sign-ups

Merchants verify purchases and provide commission confirmation.

Cashback and Rewards

When we earn commission, we share a portion with you as:

**Direct cashback**: Deposited to your account

**Deal discounts**: Pre-applied to purchase prices

**Bonus points**: Redeemable rewards
