Affiliate Disclosure
Last Updated: January 2026
Why This Disclosure Matters
At AsianConnect (northside-electric.us), we believe in complete transparency with our readers. This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, which require websites using affiliate links to clearly inform visitors about potential financial relationships with recommended products and services.
Since 2009, the FTC has mandated that endorsements and product recommendations must disclose any potential financial gain to the website making the recommendation. We take this responsibility seriously because your trust matters to us. When you read our reviews and recommendations, you deserve to know how our site operates financially.
This disclosure helps you make informed decisions by understanding that while we strive to provide honest, helpful information about Asian dating platforms, we may receive compensation when you sign up through our links.
How Our Affiliate Links Work
When you click on links to dating platforms on our website, these are affiliate links that contain tracking parameters (such as utm_netw=northside-electric.us). These parameters allow our partner platforms to identify that you came from our site.
How the Process Works:
- You read our reviews and click a link to visit a dating platform
- The tracking parameter identifies your visit as coming from our site
- If you create an account or make a purchase, we may receive a commission
- This commission comes from the platform, not from you-you pay the same price regardless
All "Visit Site" buttons, profile card links, and call-to-action buttons on our site direct to partner platforms including SakuraDate, NaomiDate, MagnoliaDate, AsiaFlame, and ShantiDate. We receive commissions when users sign up through these tracked referral links.
Important: Using our affiliate links does not cost you anything extra. The commission we receive is paid by the dating platform as part of their marketing budget.
We Do Not Operate Partner Dating Platforms
Critical Distinction
- AsianConnect (northside-electric.us) is an independent review and informational website
- We do not own, operate, control, or manage any of the dating platforms we review
- We have no control over user profiles, membership policies, or platform operations
- We cannot access your account or personal information on partner sites
- Customer service inquiries must be directed to the individual platforms
Our role is limited to providing information, reviews, and recommendations. Once you click through to a partner platform, your experience is governed entirely by that platform's terms of service, privacy policy, and customer support team.
Any issues with billing, account access, member profiles, or platform functionality must be addressed directly with the respective dating platform's customer support.
No Guarantees of Results
AsianConnect is an informational website, not a marriage agency.
We do not guarantee:
- Introductions to specific individuals
- Matches with compatible partners
- Relationships of any kind
- Marriage or engagement outcomes
- Response rates from platform members
- The authenticity of individual profiles on partner platforms
Online dating success depends on many factors outside our control, including your profile quality, communication skills, effort invested, geographic location, and personal compatibility with potential matches. Results vary significantly between users.
We recommend paid dating platforms over free alternatives because legitimate paid sites typically offer better protection measures, verified profiles, and quality features. However, paying for a premium membership does not guarantee romantic success-it simply provides access to tools that may improve your chances.
Please approach online dating with realistic expectations. Building genuine connections takes time, patience, and effort regardless of which platform you choose.
Our Editorial Independence & Review Process
Despite our financial relationships with dating platforms, we maintain editorial independence in our reviews and recommendations. Our goal is to provide genuinely helpful information that serves your interests, not simply to maximize our commissions.
Our Evaluation Criteria
We assess dating platforms based on seven key factors:
- Reputation: User reviews, industry standing, and operational history
- Safety & Privacy: Protection of personal and financial information
- Member Demographics: Profile verification and authenticity measures
- User Experience: Interface design, navigation, and ease of use
- Pricing Structure: Balance of free and paid features, value for money
- Customer Support: Availability, responsiveness, and helpfulness
- Trustworthiness: Overall legitimacy versus scam indicators
Our reviews reflect our honest assessments. If we identify significant problems with a platform, we report them-even if that platform is an affiliate partner. Our long-term success depends on your trust, which we can only maintain by providing accurate, unbiased information.
Your Responsibility & Due Diligence
While we strive to provide accurate and helpful information, you are ultimately responsible for your own decisions when using online dating platforms. We encourage you to:
- Read the terms of service and privacy policy of any platform before signing up
- Research platforms independently using multiple sources
- Start with free features when available before committing to paid memberships
- Protect your personal and financial information
- Report suspicious profiles or behavior to platform administrators
- Take time getting to know potential matches before sharing sensitive information
- Consider video calls before making travel plans to meet someone in person
Online dating can be a wonderful way to meet people, but it requires caution and good judgment. We provide information to help you make informed choices, but those choices-and their consequences-are yours.
