FTC disclosures

The following outlines how we run byrnaexpert.com. It details the policies we use when reviewing or discussing products, outlines our editorial policies and is our attempt at disclosure of anything that our audience might want to know about our business relationships.

We are not journalists or reporters. We are educators, pundits and subjective opinion columnists, reviewers of self-defense products and commentators on self-defense-related issues. We do try to uphold journalistic standards when we report something on the site as “news” but ultimately, here we are teachers and commentators and our bias, opinions, and experience guide what we publish. Our only allegiance is to what works best. We reserve the right to change recommendations as products improve, change, or grow.

When we do present what we consider to be factual information, we do the best we can to make sure the facts we provide are accurate and fairly presented. This site publishes very little “straight news.” BrynaExpert.com mostly offers education, punditry and analysis. When we present analyses, we try to represent our best independent judgments rather than our preferences, or those of our sources, advertisers or information providers.

ByrnaExpert.com may sell advertising and when we do, we receive compensation for the ads we provide both in any blog, podcast or website connected to ByrnaExpert.com.

We do not sell editorial space – ever. The advertising on the site is not connected with the editorial content in any way. We do not accept money to run reviews. We do not own stock in any company we cover on ByrnaExpert.com unless otherwise noted.

ByrnaExpert.com participates in affiliate advertising programs. These allow us to earn a commission when you click on an affiliate link. 

Affiliate Links are often prominently displayed under the heading “BUY FROM…”. For example, as an Amazon Associate, ByrnaExpert.com earns from qualifying purchases if you buy by clicking-through from that link. You don't pay any extra when using our links. In fact, we sometimes link to special pricing available to our audience on an exclusive or semi-exclusive basis.

We only list affiliate links that we believe lead to fair prices and products.

Clicking our affiliate links is the best way you can say “thank you” to ByrnaExpert.com, enabling this site to be free to read. For questions, contact us at byrnaexpert@gmail.com.
