Affiliate Disclosure | Salt & Prepper

FTC Disclosure

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR Part 255, "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising," Salt & Prepper discloses the following material connections. Some of the links on this website are affiliate links, meaning at no additional cost to you, we may earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase. This helps us keep the Service running and continue providing free tools and resources.

Amazon Associates Program

Salt & Prepper 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.

Our Amazon affiliate tag is tyler09e4-20. When you click on a product link that directs you to Amazon.com and subsequently make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from Amazon. This commission comes from Amazon's advertising budget and does not increase the price you pay for any products.

How Affiliate Links Work

When you see product recommendations on Salt & Prepper, some of these may contain affiliate links. Here is how they work:

You see a product recommendation on our website (e.g., recommended food storage containers, emergency supplies, or preparedness gear).
You click on the product link, which directs you to the retailer's website (such as Amazon.com).
A small tracking cookie is placed on your device by the retailer to identify that you came from our website.
If you purchase the product (or sometimes any product) during that session or within a specified window, we receive a small commission.
The price you pay is exactly the same as if you had visited the retailer directly. There is no additional cost to you.

How We Make Recommendations

We take our product recommendations seriously and want you to understand how they are determined:

Relevance First: Product recommendations are primarily based on relevance to your inventory, preparedness goals, and the category of items you are viewing. We recommend products that we believe are genuinely useful for emergency preparedness.
Smart Suggestions: Some recommendations are generated based on your inventory gaps, expiration patterns, and stated preparedness goals. Our system prioritizes usefulness over commission potential.
Quality and Reviews: We favor products with strong customer reviews, reliable brands, and proven quality in the preparedness community.
Commission Does Not Influence Rankings: While we may earn different commission rates on different products, commission rates do not determine which products are recommended or how they are ranked. Our goal is to help you build a well-rounded preparedness supply, not to maximize commissions.
Honest Assessments: We strive to provide honest, balanced product information. We do not guarantee the quality, safety, or suitability of any third-party products.

No Additional Cost to You

We want to emphasize: using our affiliate links never costs you anything extra. The prices you see and pay are the same as if you navigated to the retailer directly. The commission we receive is paid by the retailer from their advertising budget, not charged to you.

In fact, by using our affiliate links, you help support Salt & Prepper at zero additional cost. This revenue helps us maintain the Service, develop new features, and keep the Free plan available for everyone.

Other Affiliate Relationships

In addition to the Amazon Associates Program, we may participate in other affiliate programs in the future. Any such relationships will be disclosed here. Currently, our affiliate partnerships include:

Amazon Associates: Product links to Amazon.com (active).

We will update this disclosure whenever we add or remove affiliate partnerships.

Editorial Independence

Our editorial content, including articles in our Learning Center, recommendations, and product comparisons, is created independently. No affiliate partner has editorial control over our content or the ability to influence our recommendations.

If we ever receive free products or compensation for a review, we will clearly disclose that relationship within the relevant content.
