Affiliate disclosure
Required by the FTC (US), the CMA (UK), and EU consumer-protection law. We're telling you how the lights stay on so you can decide whether to trust the rankings.
How we earn money
Delta-Z is an independent directory. When you click a link to a prop firm from our site and complete a purchase, the firm pays us a commission. Typical commissions are $50 to $500 per qualified sign-up, depending on the firm and the account tier.
The button that takes you to a firm is wired through /r/<firm-slug> — that redirector tags the click with an affiliate identifier and records it so we get paid if you buy. It records device class, the country code from your CDN headers, a SHA-256-hashed IP, and the UTM parameters. We do not record your raw IP, your name, or anything that identifies you personally.
What this means for rankings
Affiliate revenue does not influence the trust score, the comparison results, the category rankings, or the placement on country pages. All of those are derived from the public rule schema and verified reviews via the formulas documented in our methodology.
We have not negotiated higher commission rates in exchange for ranking position with any firm we track. If we ever do (sponsored listings, exclusive deals), those placements will be visually distinguished with a clear "sponsored" or "featured" badge.
Firms with no affiliate program
Some firms we track don't run affiliate programs. We still list them and rank them on merit; we just don't earn anything when you click. We don't penalize them for that.
Your right to read this and bail
Every firm profile shows two links: an affiliate link (which earns us a commission) and a direct "no-affiliate" link to the firm's unmodified URL. Use the direct link if you don't want us to be paid for your click. The ranking and rules we publish don't change either way.
