Affiliate Disclosure
BuffaloAlarm.com is a participant in several affiliate marketing programs. We believe in complete transparency with our readers and customers. This disclosure explains how affiliate relationships work on our site and why we maintain them.
Our Commitment to Honesty
BuffaloAlarm.com is owned and operated by Innovatio Industries LLC, a Minnesota-based company. We earn commissions when you purchase products through certain links on our website. These commissions come at no additional cost to you. Importantly, affiliate income does not — and never will — influence our editorial independence, product reviews, or recommendations.
We personally test every major product we recommend. If a product is not good enough, we say so. If a better alternative exists, we recommend it — regardless of affiliate relationships. Our reputation as a trusted local and national security resource is worth far more than any single commission.
How Affiliate Links Work
When you click an affiliate link on BuffaloAlarm.com, a tracking cookie is placed in your browser. If you make a purchase from the retailer within a specified time period (typically 24 hours to 30 days, depending on the program), we earn a small percentage of the sale. This does not affect the price you pay, your warranty, or your return rights with the retailer.
Affiliate Programs We Participate In
We currently participate in affiliate programs with Amazon Associates, Ring, Arlo, SimpliSafe, Reolink, Eufy, Google Nest, Yale, Schlage, August Home, and select other smart security brands. We may add or remove partners as we evaluate new products and services. We only partner with brands we have personally tested or thoroughly researched.
Editorial Independence
Our product rankings, comparison articles, buying guides, and AI Security Assistant recommendations are developed independently by our team. No brand pays for placement in our editorial content. We do not publish sponsored reviews disguised as editorial content. When content is sponsored, it is clearly labeled as such.
How We Use Affiliate Revenue
Affiliate commissions help fund our independent testing lab, website development, content creation, local installation services, and Minnesota community security education initiatives. They allow us to provide free DIY guides, product comparisons, and security advice without paywalls or intrusive advertising.
Identifying Affiliate Links
Affiliate links on BuffaloAlarm.com are typically indicated with a small icon or clear language such as 'Buy on Amazon' or 'Check Price at SimpliSafe.' We also include this general disclosure in our footer and on pages containing affiliate links. If you are ever unsure whether a link is an affiliate link, you can assume it may be.
Your Choices
You are never obligated to use our affiliate links. If you prefer, you can visit retailer websites directly. However, using our links helps support the independent testing and local content creation that makes BuffaloAlarm.com a trusted resource for Minnesota homeowners and businesses. We appreciate your support.
Questions About Our Affiliates?
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships, how they affect our recommendations, or concerns about a specific product link, please reach out. We are happy to explain our testing process, why we recommend certain products, or suggest alternative options that may better fit your needs and budget.
