FAQ

Yes. ProvedHome is an independent, reader-supported publication. We are not owned by, partnered with, or paid by any retailer or product manufacturer. Our editorial independence is documented in detail on our Editorial Policy page.

ProvedHome earns money exclusively through affiliate commissions: when a reader clicks an outbound link to a retailer like Amazon and completes a purchase, the retailer pays us a small commission at no cost to the reader. We do not run display ads, sponsored content, or paid placements. Full details are on our Affiliate Disclosure page.

No. Commission rates are not a factor in our rankings. If two products are similarly good but one pays a higher commission, we still recommend the better product. If a budget alternative is the right answer, we say so even when it pays less.

No. We do not accept free product samples in exchange for coverage. We do not accept sponsored reviews. We do not accept gifts of material value from brands or PR agencies.

For every product we cover, we read at least 50 verified owner reviews (with deliberate weighting toward 3- and 4-star reviews where genuine compromises surface), long-form Reddit and forum discussions, manufacturer specifications and warranty terms, and any publicly available independent test data we can cite. The full process is on our How We Test page.

Every review is signed by a named human author whose bio, credentials, and contact information are public. We do not publish under anonymous "Editorial Team" labels. Author profiles are at /team.

We use AI-assisted research and drafting tools to help process large volumes of owner feedback and to draft preliminary outlines. Every published review is reviewed, edited, and signed off on by a named human author before it goes live. We do not publish unedited machine output.

Email [email protected] with the URL of the review and the specific claim you believe is wrong, along with a source for the correct information if you have one. Confirmed corrections are typically published within 72 hours and logged on our Corrections page.

You can suggest products by emailing [email protected]. We do not accept paid submissions and we cannot guarantee coverage of any specific product, but reader suggestions genuinely shape what we cover next.

No. ProvedHome does not collect personal information from visitors and does not sell, share, or rent any data. Our Privacy Policy has the full details, including how third-party services like our hosting provider and any embedded retailer widgets handle data on their own behalf.
