What Are Affiliate Programs?

Affiliate programs allow businesses to earn commissions by recommending products or services to their audience. When someone makes a purchase through an affiliate link, the business that provided the link receives a percentage of the sale or a flat fee.

Our Participation in Affiliate Programs

Techne Logic may participate in affiliate programs for certain software tools, platforms, or services that we recommend to clients. This means that if you choose to purchase products or services through links we provide, we may receive compensation from the vendor.

Types of affiliate relationships we may maintain include:

• • Cloud computing and infrastructure services
• • AI and machine learning platforms
• • Business software and productivity tools
• • Data analytics and visualization software
• • Professional development and training resources

How Affiliate Relationships Affect Our Recommendations

While we may earn commissions through affiliate relationships, this does not influence our professional judgment or recommendations. Our primary obligation is to provide services and advice that serve our clients' best interests.

We commit to:

• • Only recommending products and services we believe offer genuine value
• • Providing honest assessments of both benefits and limitations
• • Disclosing affiliate relationships when making recommendations
• • Considering all available options, including non-affiliate alternatives
• • Prioritizing client needs over potential commission earnings

Commission Structure

When we earn affiliate commissions, the amount varies depending on the specific program and product. Commission rates typically range from a small percentage of the sale price to a fixed amount per referral. These commissions do not increase the price you pay for products or services.

Sponsored Content Policy

Occasionally, we may create content sponsored by third-party companies. Sponsored content refers to articles, case studies, or other materials created in partnership with a company that compensates us for featuring their products or services.

Identification of Sponsored Content

We clearly label all sponsored content to ensure transparency. Sponsored materials will include prominent disclosures such as:

• • "Sponsored Content" or "Sponsored by [Company Name]" labels
• • "In Partnership With" designations
• • Clear statements about financial relationships with featured companies

Editorial Independence

Even when content is sponsored, we maintain editorial control and independence. We do not allow sponsors to dictate our opinions or require us to make claims we don't believe are accurate. Sponsored content reflects our honest assessment within the context of a paid partnership.

Brand Partnerships

We may enter into partnerships with technology vendors, software companies, or other businesses in the AI and technology sectors. These partnerships may involve financial compensation, free or discounted access to products, or other benefits. We disclose such relationships when discussing or recommending partner products.

Display Advertising Networks

Our website may display advertisements served through third-party advertising networks. These networks use various technologies to deliver relevant ads based on your browsing behavior and interests.

How Third-Party Advertising Works

Third-party advertising networks may:

• • Use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your browsing activity
• • Track which pages you visit and what content you view
• • Deliver targeted advertisements based on your interests and demographics
• • Measure advertisement performance and effectiveness
• • Share data with other advertisers and platforms

Advertising Networks We Use

We may work with established advertising networks such as Google AdSense, media buying platforms, or industry-specific advertising services. Each network has its own privacy policy and data collection practices, which are independent of our policies.

Behavioral Targeting and Personalization

Advertising networks may use behavioral targeting to show you ads based on your browsing history and online behavior. This personalization aims to display more relevant advertisements but involves data collection and tracking across websites.

Managing Advertisement Preferences

You have several options for controlling the advertisements you see and the data collected for advertising purposes:

• • Browser Settings: Configure your browser to block third-party cookies or clear cookies regularly
• • Ad Preference Tools: Use tools provided by advertising networks to opt out of personalized advertising
• • Cookie Management: Visit our Cookie Policy page to manage your cookie preferences
• • Privacy Extensions: Install browser extensions that block tracking and advertising technologies

Opt-Out Procedures

To opt out of interest-based advertising:

• • Visit the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page or similar industry opt-out platforms
• • Use Google Ads Settings to control personalized advertising from Google
• • Adjust privacy settings in your mobile device for app-based advertising
• • Contact us directly to request information about advertising practices

Note that opting out of personalized advertising does not mean you'll see fewer ads; it means the ads you see may be less relevant to your interests.

Data Collection for Advertising

Information collected for advertising purposes may include your IP address, device identifiers, browsing history, location data, and demographic information. For more details about data collection practices, please review our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

Rights Under Privacy Regulations

Depending on your location, you may have specific rights regarding advertising data collection under privacy regulations such as GDPR or similar laws. These rights may include access to your data, correction of inaccurate information, deletion of your data, and objection to certain processing activities.

Honest Assessment Policy

When we review or recommend products, services, or tools, we provide honest assessments based on our professional expertise and experience. Our goal is to help clients make informed decisions, not to maximize affiliate earnings or promotional revenue.

Testing and Evaluation

Where possible, we test and evaluate products before recommending them to clients. Our recommendations are based on factors such as functionality, reliability, cost-effectiveness, ease of use, and suitability for specific business needs.

Balanced Perspective

We strive to present balanced perspectives on products and services, including both advantages and potential limitations. We do not hide negative aspects or exaggerate benefits, even when financial relationships exist.

Alternative Options

When discussing products or services, we aim to mention alternative options where relevant, including those with which we have no financial relationship. This helps ensure clients can make fully informed decisions based on their specific needs and circumstances.

FTC Compliance

We comply with applicable advertising regulations and guidelines, including those established by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regarding endorsements and testimonials. We disclose material connections with brands and products when making recommendations.

European Union Requirements

As a Cyprus-based company, we comply with EU advertising and consumer protection regulations. This includes transparent disclosure of commercial relationships and clear identification of advertising content.

Professional Ethics

Beyond legal requirements, we adhere to professional ethics standards in our industry. This includes putting client interests first, maintaining objectivity in our assessments, and avoiding conflicts of interest that could compromise our professional judgment.
