However, please note that if you leave the Site and purchase a product or service we promote, the company you purchase from will notify us of the purchase and may well include certain identifying information for you. We do not share this information with others.

For example, we use Amazon Affiliate links within many of the reviews on this website. This helps us to fund the free content and advice we provide. Amazon will show us details of purchases, but they will not tell us any personal details about who bought them.

Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.

What are affiliate links?

Affiliate links are a way for us to earn an income based on the honest posts and reviews we provide on the website. An affiliate link directs you to a sales page on an external affiliate company website.  When a reader clicks on an affiliate link located on BlackBrillianceOnTheBSide.com to purchase an item, the reader buys the item from the seller directly (not from BLVCK$FUND LLC.).   Amazon and/or other companies pay BLVCK$FUND LLC a small commission or other compensation for promoting their website or products through their affiliate program.

Prices are exactly the same for you if your purchase is through an affiliate link or a non-affiliate link. You will not pay more by clicking through to the link.
