Participation in Affiliate Programs

Data Insight participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn commissions when you click on certain links or purchase products and services through our website. These affiliate relationships help support our operations and allow us to continue providing valuable analytics insights to the arcade game industry.

Our affiliate partnerships may include analytics software providers, data visualization tools, marketing platforms, and other services relevant to arcade game developers and operators. When we include affiliate links in our content, we will make reasonable efforts to clearly identify them as such.

How Affiliate Commissions Work

When you click an affiliate link on our website and make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may receive a commission from the vendor. This commission comes at no additional cost to you – the price you pay is the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the vendor's website.

Product Recommendation Policies

Our product and service recommendations follow these principles:

• ✓ We prioritize relevance and quality over commission rates
• ✓ We conduct thorough research before recommending any product or service
• ✓ We clearly identify when content contains affiliate relationships
• ✓ We update our recommendations when better alternatives become available
• ✓ We provide honest assessments of both strengths and limitations

Financial Relationship Transparency

We maintain full transparency about our financial relationships. If we have a material connection to a company whose products or services we discuss, we will disclose that relationship. This includes not only affiliate commissions but also sponsorships, partnerships, free products received for review, or any other arrangement that could potentially influence our content.

• • "In partnership with [Company Name]"

These labels will appear prominently at the beginning of any sponsored content, ensuring you can easily identify material that has been paid for by third parties.

Sponsored Post Labeling Policies

We adhere to strict labeling standards for sponsored content:
