Our Purpose

• CyberGizmo was created with the goal of giving back to the community by sharing the knowledge and insights we’ve gained throughout our careers. Our mission is to educate, inform, and empower viewers with practical, real-world information about technology, cybersecurity, and digital tools.

• While we are not primarily a gear review platform, we occasionally review equipment that we personally use and find valuable. These reviews are based on our genuine experiences and are aimed at helping our audience make informed decisions.

Our Approach to Sponsored Content

• We prioritize authenticity and honesty in our sponsored content. While we may receive sponsorships, our reviews remain unbiased, and opinions are not influenced by partnerships.

• Our reviews are subjective and based on personal experiences, not scripted sales pitches. No previews or revised content will be submitted for approval before publication.

• We maintain full editorial independence, ensuring that all reviews, analyses, and opinions reflect our honest assessment of products and services.

Working with Brands

• We work directly with brands that sponsor our content to ensure clear communication and maintain the integrity of our reviews. We do not work with brand intermediaries, as direct partnerships allow us to deliver the most authentic and transparent content possible.

Handling Competing Brands

• We collaborate with a range of brands, including competitors, but we retain complete editorial independence. Sponsorship does not affect our opinions, and we aim to provide honest, unbiased content.

• We do not enter into exclusive agreements that prevent us from working with competing brands. If exclusivity is requested, this will be clearly disclosed, and such agreements will be rare exceptions.

• If a video is sponsored, but we plan to mention a competing product, we will address this directly in the video to ensure transparency with our viewers.

Comment Moderation Policy

• We value open dialogue and respect all comments, including constructive criticism. Comments that contribute to factual accuracy without disrespect will not be moderated or censored.

• Comments containing offensive language, spam, or harmful misinformation may be removed to maintain a respectful and informative community.

Disclosures and Compliance

• We comply with all applicable laws and YouTube’s guidelines regarding sponsored content. Sponsorships and product review samples will be clearly disclosed at the beginning of our videos to ensure transparency.

• We ensure all paid promotion options, including the “includes paid promotion” checkbox, are marked as required by YouTube guidelines.

Content Promotion

• While we can’t control viewership numbers, we focus on delivering high-quality production and informative content that is honest and unbiased.

• We use our best judgment to promote our videos effectively across various platforms to reach our target audience, providing value-driven content.

Video Sharing and Distribution

• We encourage others to share our videos by embedding or linking directly to the original video on our YouTube channel.

• Re-uploading or redistributing our videos without explicit permission is strictly prohibited. If you’d like to feature our content in a more significant way, please contact us for authorization.

Product Samples and Shipping

• If you’re planning to send us product samples, we request that you include multiple units per variant, especially if fragile, to account for potential damage during transit.

• Please note that we do not accept packages or parcels requiring payment of import fees or cash on delivery (COD).

Privacy and Data Protection

• We value the privacy of our audience and adhere to strict data protection protocols. Any personal information collected (e.g., through giveaways or subscriptions) will be handled responsibly and never shared with third parties without explicit consent.

Transparency in Affiliate Links

• We may use affiliate links in our content. If you make a purchase through these links, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. We will always disclose the use of affiliate links to maintain transparency with our audience.
