Affiliate Disclosure - ILoveImg.online

Introduction: Our Commitment to Transparency

At ILoveImg.online, we believe in complete transparency regarding how we sustain our platform while providing powerful image editing tools to our users. This comprehensive Affiliate Disclosure outlines our participation in various affiliate marketing programs, how we earn commissions, and how these relationships influence our content and recommendations.

We've created this detailed disclosure to ensure you understand when and how we may receive compensation through your interactions with our platform. This transparency is not only a legal requirement in many jurisdictions but also aligns with our core values of honesty and user trust as outlined in our company values.

This Affiliate Disclosure should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which together provide a complete picture of how we operate our online image editing platform.

What is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a common online business model where websites earn commissions by promoting products or services offered by other companies. When you click on certain links on our website and subsequently make a purchase or take another qualifying action, we may receive a small commission from the merchant or service provider at no additional cost to you.

According to the Performance Marketing Association, affiliate marketing is a $12 billion industry that allows content creators and service providers to monetize their platforms while connecting users with relevant products and services.

This arrangement helps us:

  • Maintain and enhance our free image editing tools

  • Develop new features and capabilities

  • Create educational content about image editing

  • Support our technical infrastructure

  • Provide responsive customer service

The commissions we earn never increase the price you pay for any product or service.
