Our Commitment to Transparency
Pathfinder Digital Hub is built on honesty. That extends to how we talk about the tools, programmes, and resources we recommend. This page explains clearly how affiliate relationships work on this site and what that means for you.
What Is an Affiliate Link?
An affiliate link is a tracked link. When you click one and go on to make a purchase, we earn a small commission from the company you bought from. That commission comes at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to the company.
Where You Will Find Affiliate Links
Affiliate links may appear in:
- Blog posts on The Digital Compass
- Our digital products and guides
- Emails we send to our subscriber list
- Resource pages and recommendation lists on this website
Where a post or page contains affiliate links, you will see a clear disclosure notice at the top. We do not hide these relationships and we never will.
Which Programmes We Work With
We participate in affiliate programmes from companies we have genuinely evaluated and believe are useful for our audience. These currently include, but are not limited to:
- Awin affiliate network
- Captivation Hub
- Systeme.io
As Pathfinder Digital Hub grows, we may add further affiliate partnerships. This page will be updated to reflect any additions. We will never promote a product or service solely for the commission it pays.
Our Standard for Recommendations
Every product or service we recommend has been chosen because we believe it genuinely serves our audience. We do not recommend things we would not use ourselves or that we would not feel comfortable suggesting to someone who trusted us. Commission potential does not drive our recommendations. Usefulness does.
Cookies and Tracking
When you click an affiliate link, the third-party company may set a tracking cookie on your device. This cookie allows them to identify that the referral came from Pathfinder Digital Hub if you make a purchase. We do not control these cookies. Please review the privacy policy of the relevant company for details on how they use your data.

This disclosure is provided in compliance with:
- The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (United States)
- The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) rules on affiliate marketing (United Kingdom)
- The Competition Bureau guidelines on influencer marketing and sponsored content (Canada)
