How We Work

We take pride in independently researching and recommending digital  tools and services that we know  will  help you stay safe – both online and in your day-to-day life.

Some of the links on our site are affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission if you make a purchase through them, at no extra cost to you.

In addition to affiliate products, we also offer a small range of accessories in our shop, but they are completely separate from the products we review.

Our recommendations are based solely on hands-on testing and research, and are never influenced by what we sell.

Proceeds from both affiliate links and our product sales help us keep our content free and unbiased, allowing us to continue providing valuable resources to our readers.
