How We Make Money

Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: August 2026

ProtectionSeek is an independent website operated by FTM Financial Services LLC. We provide information, comparisons, reviews, ratings and educational content about identity protection, antivirus and device security, VPNs, password managers and other digital protection services.

Some of the links on ProtectionSeek may be affiliate links. This means that if you click an affiliate link and subsequently purchase a product or service from the provider, ProtectionSeek may receive a commission or other compensation from that provider. The price you pay is generally not increased because of our affiliate relationship.

How Affiliate Links Work

When you see a link such as “Visit Website,” “View Offer,” “Learn More” or a similar call-to-action on ProtectionSeek, the link may direct you to a third-party provider’s website.

If that provider has an affiliate relationship with ProtectionSeek and you make a qualifying purchase or take another qualifying action, we may receive compensation.

Not every link on our website is necessarily an affiliate link, and the availability of affiliate relationships may vary by product, provider, location and time.

Our Reviews and Ratings

Our affiliate relationships do not automatically determine our ratings, comparisons or editorial conclusions.

ProtectionSeek may evaluate products based on factors such as:

Services & Features
Protection & Coverage
Plan Flexibility
Value
Transparency
User Experience

Our ProtectionSeek Ratings are our own editorial assessments and are intended to help visitors compare different products and services.

A provider’s participation in an affiliate program does not guarantee that its product will receive a favorable rating or be ranked higher than another product.

Likewise, a product may be included on ProtectionSeek even when we do not have an affiliate relationship with that provider.

Compensation Does Not Mean Endorsement

Receiving compensation from a provider does not mean that ProtectionSeek guarantees or endorses every feature, claim, price or result associated with that provider.

Products and services can have limitations, exclusions, eligibility requirements and different plan levels. We encourage visitors to review the provider’s current terms, pricing, features and policies before making a purchase or subscribing to a service.

Why We Use Affiliate Links

Affiliate relationships help support the operation of ProtectionSeek, including the research, development, maintenance and creation of content on the website.

This allows us to provide our comparison resources and educational content to visitors without charging readers for access to the website.

Prices and Offers May Change

Information about pricing, plans, features, promotions and availability can change over time.

Any price or offer displayed on ProtectionSeek should be considered informational unless otherwise stated. The provider’s website and checkout page are the final source for current pricing, terms, availability and promotional offers.

Third-Party Websites

When you click an affiliate or other external link, you may leave ProtectionSeek and visit a third-party website.

Those websites are operated independently from ProtectionSeek and may have their own:

Privacy policies
Terms and conditions
Pricing
Refund policies
Subscription terms
Data-collection practices

We recommend reviewing the applicable policies of the third-party provider before providing personal information or purchasing a product or service.

Our Commitment to Transparency

ProtectionSeek aims to clearly distinguish between editorial information and commercial relationships.

Our goal is to provide useful, balanced and transparent information so visitors can make their own decisions. Affiliate compensation does not mean that we will knowingly present inaccurate information or intentionally misrepresent a product’s features or limitations.

If you believe that information on one of our pages is inaccurate, outdated or misleading, you can contact us through our Contact Us page.
