Monetization Notice: How We Support Uncrowned Armory

At Uncrowned Armory, we believe in maintaining transparency with our community regarding how we sustain and grow our platform. Our monetization model is designed to support the ongoing development of Uncrowned Armory while respecting our users' experience and privacy. Here's an overview of how we generate revenue:

Advertisements

• Ads for Guests: We display generic advertisements through networks like Adsense for guests visiting our site. These ads are not shown to users who register for a free account, offering an ad-free experience for our members.

Sponsors

• Personalized Advertising: We collaborate with a limited number of sponsors who share our values. These sponsors display their banners in our site's sidebar, visible to all users.

Affiliate Links

• Sovrn Commerce: We use Sovrn Commerce to convert links posted on our site into affiliate links. If users post non-affiliate links on our site, we may earn a commission. Sovrn Commerce adds an affiliate tag to links automatically, allowing us to benefit from links posted via sites like Amazon.
• Geniuslink Integration: We use Geniuslink to convert links posted on our site into affiliate links. If you purchase through these links, we may earn a commission. Geniuslink adds an affiliate tag without tracking your purchases, ensuring your privacy and allowing networks like Amazon to handle transactions directly.  We no longer use the Geniuslink service. However, links created before 2025 may still be hard-coded through Geniuslink.

Supporter Memberships

• Voluntary Contributions: We offer paid memberships for those who wish to support our platform. These memberships provide minimal benefits, emphasizing that they are a way to support our vision rather than a paywall for content.

Social Media Income

• Platform Monetization: We leverage monetization features available on social media platforms, such as Adsense on YouTube, to generate income whenever possible. We do not use any third-party tools for monetization on our social media; only officially built-in tools are utilized.

Common Questions

Can I use an adblocker?

Absolutely. We understand and respect the use of ad blockers. Alternatively, you can enjoy an ad-free experience by simply creating a free account with us.

Can I post my own affiliate links?

Yes, you're welcome to post your own affiliate links when sharing content on our platform. Our affiliate services won't override existing affiliate links, so feel free to include them. Just be aware of the terms of your affiliate network regarding posting links on sites you don't own.

Do you sell my data?

No. Your privacy is paramount to us. We do not sell your data and have no plans to do so in the future. However, if you access links, ads, or affiliates, we have no control over what happens once you leave our site.

At Uncrowned Armory, we're committed to an open and transparent business model. Our monetization strategies are chosen to align with our core values of user privacy and experience. We thank our community for their continued support, which enables us to maintain and grow this platform.
