All of us here at Tecca adhere to a standard of ethics based on our commitment to trustworthy, honest, and transparent editorial. What you read on Tecca is purely our editorial opinion based on the experience and expertise of our staff, and -- whether it's that glowing review or that scathing slam of a new product -- you can always be assured that our take has not been influenced in any way by outside parties.

We are in full compliance with the Federal Trade Commission's policies for the media, and offer the following disclosures with respect to our relationships with the companies we cover as well as with our advertisers and affiliate programs.

INVESTORS

Best Buy Co., Inc. is an investor in Tecca. However, we operate as a completely independent entity and do not take editorial direction from our investors.

AFFILIATE LINKS

Tecca participates in affiliate programs with various retailers including Apple iTunes, Amazon.com and others. Links on our product pages and within editorial content that lead to product purchases can generate affiliate revenue for Tecca, but this in no way influences our editorial recommendations of one product over another.

SPONSORED POSTS

Tecca's advertising team may occasionally include sponsored posts within an ad campaign, which will be clearly identified as such. Articles that are denoted "sponsored by" an advertiser cover topics that serve the goals of the advertiser, *but are not dictated, reviewed, or edited* by said advertiser. The editorial content therein is developed independently and does not contain opinion or marketing content from the advertiser.

PRODUCT REVIEWS

All editorial reviews on Tecca are strictly editorially driven and are generated without payment or incentive by manufacturers, advertisers, or other external parties. We do not keep review units beyond the duration of the review and either send the unit back to the manufacturer or give it away to readers on the site. In rare cases the nature of the review unit prevents return or reuse, and any such exceptions will be clearly denoted in the review itself. 

The views expressed in Tecca editorial reviews are our own, and reflect the personal point of view of the reviewing writer. We also aggregate third-party reviews on our product pages and in our "Megareview" editorial roundups; the opinions expressed in those areas are the personal views of either the user or the third-party journalist who wrote them.
