Affiliate + sponsorship disclosure

Last updated: 2026-04-23

Independence

cloudpicker is operator-funded and editorially independent. No vendor in our index pays to be listed, ranked, recommended, or featured. Our rankings are determined by our published methodology alone.

Affiliate links

We may include affiliate links to vendor signup pages where doing so reduces friction for readers. When an affiliate link is present, the page is marked with an "Affiliate link present" notice next to the link. Affiliate revenue does not influence rankings or recommendations.

Partnerships

cloudpicker has no paid partnerships with any vendor in our index at this time. If a future partnership is established, the relationship will be disclosed both on this page and on every page where it is relevant.

Editorial review of money-site recommendations

Where we recommend related products run by our own operator, the recommendation is clearly labeled as such and the editorial argument is stated openly. Read our methodology for how we handle these.

FTC compliance

Per US FTC guidance, all material commercial relationships affecting content are disclosed. For EU readers, we comply with the Digital Services Act transparency requirements.
