Affiliate & Advertising Disclosure

We believe in complete transparency about how tahoo.tech operates and earns revenue. Here is our full disclosure regarding affiliate tracking, referral relationships, and sponsored placements.

In Brief: What You Need to Know

$0 Cost to You

Using our links never increases your purchase price. You get the exact same deal, or a better rate with our codes.

Editorial First

Deals are selected based on real utility and value, not on whether a software vendor offers an affiliate program.

Explicit Labels

Any paid promotional slots are clearly labeled with a visible "Sponsored Offer" badge.

How tahoo.tech Earns Revenue

tahoo.tech is a completely free directory. We never charge readers a subscription fee, gate access to promo codes behind paywalls, or sell user data.

To support our hosting infrastructure, testing software, and dedicated editorial team, we partner with software companies through affiliate marketing networks and direct referral agreements. Some of the links on this website are affiliate links formatted with tracking parameters (such as ?utm_source=tahoo.tech) and coded with rel="sponsored nofollow noopener".

If you click through an affiliate link on tahoo.tech and subsequently sign up for a trial, activate a credit package, or purchase a subscription, the software provider may pay us a referral commission. This commission comes directly from the vendor's marketing budget, not from your wallet.

Our Strict Separation Between Commerce & Editorial

Our readers rely on us for accurate, working deals. To protect that trust:

  • Affiliate programs do not dictate listings: Many of our most popular listings (such as the GitHub Student Developer Pack or Canva for Education) are free community initiatives with zero affiliate compensation.
  • Verification cannot be bought: Software companies cannot pay to receive a "Verified" badge for a deal that fails our checkout testing or has hidden restrictions.
  • Expired deals are retired immediately: If an affiliate partner's coupon expires or changes terms, it is marked as Expired without hesitation. We never keep dead links active just to generate clicks.
Sponsored Placements & Advertising

From time to time, companies may pay for featured placement on our homepage or at the top of category lists. Any paid or sponsored placement is conspicuously marked with a "Sponsored Offer" badge in compliance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.
