Affiliate Disclosure – Sugar Daddy California

💡

Summary (Plain English)

Some links on this site earn us a commission when you click them and sign up. This never changes what we recommend — we only recommend platforms we've personally evaluated. You never pay more because of our affiliate links.

What Is an Affiliate Link?

An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that tells a company you arrived at their website from ours. If you then create an account or make a purchase, we may receive a small commission — at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is identical whether you use our link or go directly to the platform.

Affiliate marketing is a standard and widely used form of monetization for editorial websites. You'll find it used by major publications including Forbes, The New York Times, and thousands of independent blogs.

How We Use Affiliate Links

Sugar Daddy California participates in affiliate programs with dating platforms we review and recommend. When links on this site lead to a third-party platform and result in a sign-up, we may earn a commission.

Affiliate links are used in articles, reviews, and platform recommendation sections.
Buttons labeled "Join Free," "Sign Up," or "Create Profile" typically contain affiliate tracking.
Not all outbound links are affiliate links — we also link to news sources, research, and reference material with no commercial relationship.

Important: We do not accept payment to write positive reviews or to feature platforms we haven't personally tested. Our editorial opinions are formed independently of any commercial relationship.

How Affiliate Relationships Affect Our Content

They don't — or at least, we work hard to ensure they don't. Here's how we maintain editorial independence:

We evaluate platforms before entering any affiliate partnership, not after.
Platforms that perform poorly in our testing are not featured, regardless of commission rates offered.
Our editorial team operates independently from our commercial team.
Negative findings are included in reviews even when we have an affiliate relationship with the platform being reviewed.
We update our reviews regularly to ensure they reflect current platform quality, not just initial impressions.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is made in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255). The FTC requires that websites disclose any material connection — including financial compensation — between the site and companies whose products or services are recommended. Sugar Daddy California complies fully with these requirements. If you have questions about our compliance, please contact us.

Third-Party Links & Responsibility

Our affiliate links direct you to third-party websites that are not operated by Sugar Daddy California. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of service of any third-party site. We encourage you to review the privacy policy and terms of service of any platform you sign up for.
