Affiliate & Partner Disclosure
Some pages on this website link to products, software, training programs, and services offered by third parties. When those links include an affiliate or partner-referral relationship, we disclose it openly — both because the Federal Trade Commission requires us to and because we believe technical authority requires honesty about how we make money.
What this means in plain language
If you click a link on this site marked as an affiliate or partner link, and you then buy a product, sign up for a service, or register for a course, DRR may receive a small commission. The price you pay is exactly the same as if you had gone to the merchant directly — the commission comes out of the merchant’s margin, not added on top of your cost.
What we recommend, and why
DRR has a single rule for what shows up on our resource pages: we only recommend products and services our own field crews, project managers, and estimators use, train on, or have evaluated against the alternatives. We do not accept paid placements. We do not run sponsored content. We will not link to a product simply because it pays a higher commission than its competitors. Where two products compete, we link to whichever one we actually deploy on jobs — even when that product pays nothing.
Where a product is appropriate for homeowners or property managers but is not what we use on a $50,000 commercial loss, we will say so explicitly so you can match the tool to your situation.
What we will not do
- No public-adjuster or claim-mill referrals. Arizona Revised Statutes § 20-469 restricts conflicts of interest in insurance work for licensed contractors. We will not collect commissions for steering you to claim-handling services, period.
- No affiliate links on our core service pages. Pages under /services/* and our /contact, /about, and /reviews pages stay 100% professional. Affiliate links live only on /resources/*, /authority/*, /industries/*, and our blog — the educational and informational sections of the site.
- No deceptive disclosures. Every affiliate link on this site is rendered with
rel="sponsored nofollow"per Google’s and the FTC’s transparency guidelines. The page they appear on always carries a clear disclosure block above the recommendations. - No sensitive-data collection through affiliate links. Clicking an affiliate link sends you straight to the merchant. DRR does not receive your name, email, payment information, or any other personal data from your purchase or signup — only the merchant’s aggregate report that an order originated from our referral.
How to recognize an affiliate link on this site
Affiliate links appear as either a styled product card or an underlined gold inline link. Each card displays the merchant name and the network type (e.g., “Amazon” · “Affiliate” or “Matterport” · “Partner referral”) at the top of the card. Pages that include any affiliate links also display a yellow disclosure banner near the top of the page.
FTC and Arizona compliance summary
This disclosure exists to comply with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s Endorsement Guides at 16 CFR Part 255 (updated 2023), which require “clear and conspicuous” disclosure of any material connection between an endorser and a seller. It also accounts for the Arizona Registrar of Contractors’ conflict-of-interest standards under A.R.S. § 32-1154 and the state’s anti-rebate provisions in insurance contexts at A.R.S. § 20-450.
Questions or concerns
If you ever feel a recommendation on this site is misplaced or you want more context on why we chose a particular product, email contact@godrr.com. Reader trust is the only thing this site is actually trying to earn — the affiliate revenue is incidental.
