Disclosures

DroneOps Guide keeps every advertising, affiliate, and AI-tool relationship visible. This page lists each one and what it means for what you read.

Affiliate links — none in v1

As of launch, DroneOps Guide has no affiliate links anywhere on the site. No Amazon Associates, no Impact, no FlexOffers, no equipment-vendor or brand partnerships. The buying-guide-shaped pages you may see in the future are not running yet; nothing on the site earns a referral commission today.

If affiliate links appear in a later version, this page will list each program by name and restate the editorial firewall: affiliate participation never changes which formula a calculator uses and never determines which recommendation gets surfaced.

Display advertising — none in v1

No display ads run on DroneOps Guide. AdSense, Mediavine, and equivalent display networks are not configured. If display advertising is added later, this page will name the provider and the relationship will be visible in the footer too.

AI tools

The on-site assistant is AI-assisted and labeled as such on every page where it appears. It matches user questions against a curated corpus of vetted seeds; when the corpus has no good answer, it deflects rather than guessing. Sourced math is human-verified — AI is never trusted to invent numbers, formulas, or citations. AI tools also assist with drafting article copy; the verification posture described in editorial policy covers what gets checked.

Analytics

The site may use aggregate analytics (Google Analytics or equivalent) to measure traffic. See privacy for what's collected and how. No first-party cookies are set; analytics providers may set their own per their respective policies.

When monetization changes — when the first affiliate program is added, when display advertising is enabled — this page is updated before the change goes live. If you find a link or ad that isn't disclosed here, email admin@droneopsguide.com and it gets fixed.
