Affiliate Disclosure
In compliance with the FTC's endorsement guidelines, here is exactly how Data Rescue Guide earns money.
Affiliate links
Some outbound links on this site — primarily links to data-recovery and system-repair software — are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we receive a commission from the vendor. You pay nothing extra; the price is identical to visiting the vendor directly.
What this does and doesn't influence
- It does not change our recommendation order: free, built-in methods are always presented first in every guide.
- It does not make us promise results: we tell you plainly when software cannot help and when not to buy.
- It does determine which paid tools we link to among comparable options — we prefer vendors with free preview trials and honest refund policies, and yes, ones that pay commissions.
Our relationship with vendors
We participate in affiliate programs operated by software vendors including iMyFone (via the Impact network). We are independent publishers: vendors do not review, approve, or edit our content, and we are not the "official" site of any product we cover.
