How affiliate links work on this website.

Our affiliate relationships

Some links on Digital Footprint Scan are affiliate links. This means that if you click a qualifying link and complete a purchase or other qualifying action with a third-party provider, we may receive a commission.

Any commission is generally paid by the third-party company or affiliate network and does not normally increase the price paid by the visitor.

Our current partners

As of October 16, 2026, we have affiliate relationships with NordVPN and NordPass. Links to them are marked as affiliate links where they appear.

Scan My Shadow is our sister service. It is run by the same team as Digital Footprint Scan, so we benefit directly when you buy it.

We currently have no affiliate relationship with Incogni, DeleteMe, Optery, Aura or EasyOptOuts. Where we mention them, we use plain links and we are not paid for those mentions. If that changes, we will update this page.

Why we use affiliate links

Affiliate commissions can help support the operation of Digital Footprint Scan, including research, website maintenance and the creation of privacy-related educational content.

Our approach to recommendations

We aim to provide useful and transparent information about privacy products and services. A service may be discussed because it is relevant to a particular privacy need, not simply because an affiliate relationship exists.

Readers should consider each provider's current features, pricing, availability and limitations before making a purchase.

Third-party services

Affiliate links may lead to third-party websites. Those websites operate independently and have their own terms, privacy policies and purchasing conditions.

Digital Footprint Scan does not control the policies or practices of third-party providers.
