Affiliate disclosure.

The short version

Some links on GetPC.co.in are affiliate links. When you click through to Amazon India, MDComputers, PrimeABGB, Flipkart, or other vendors and buy something, I earn a small commission. The price you pay is exactly the same as if you went to the vendor directly - the vendor pays the commission out of their margin, not yours.

That commission funds the time it takes to research parts, write guides, keep prices verified, and run the site. Nothing more.

Where affiliate links appear

Affiliate links may appear in:

• Vendor “Buy at” buttons on individual part pages
• Build templates linking to specific parts
• Guides recommending specific parts or vendors
• Comparison tables when vendors differ

Non-affiliate links (e.g. a link to a manufacturer's spec sheet, a technical reference, or another site's article) are not affiliate links and earn nothing.

Per ASCI guidelines (2023), every affiliate link on this site is labelled in context - usually with a small “official”, “affiliate”, or similar tag. The presence of this disclosure page is the catch-all reference for the relationship.

What I take

Standard affiliate commissions from vendor referral programs:

• Amazon Associates India - 1-4% depending on product category.
• Cuelinks - aggregates MDComputers, PrimeABGB, EliteHubs, and many other Indian retailers under one program.
• Flipkart Affiliate - similar percentages, category-dependent.

These are the same programs anyone can sign up for. Nothing exclusive, no special-deal rates, no “sponsored partnership” arrangements.

What I don't take

No paid placement. No part is featured because a manufacturer or vendor paid for it to be featured. Every recommendation is based on what actually works for the use case being planned.

No sponsored content disguised as editorial. If something is sponsored, it'll be clearly labelled - with a prominent banner, not buried in a footer. So far, nothing on this site is sponsored.

No manufacturer review-unit deals. I haven't accepted free hardware in exchange for reviews. If I ever do, the review will say so in the first paragraph.

No brand bias. AMD and Intel both get recommended. NVIDIA, AMD Radeon, and (when relevant) Intel Arc all get recommended. No tribal loyalties.

No incentive to inflate price recommendations. When a cheaper part is better, I recommend the cheaper one - even though my commission percentage is lower on it. The 1-4% on a ₹3,000 part is less than on a ₹10,000 part, but recommending the wrong part for the build destroys the trust that makes this site work in the first place.

How recommendations are made

Parts are recommended based on:

• Value-per-rupee at the relevant Indian price point.
• Warranty coverage - official Indian distributor stock is preferred where prices are close. Parallel imports are mentioned with the risk explained, not hidden.
• Stock availability - a great part that's never in stock isn't useful.
• Long-term durability - particularly for PSUs, where cheap supplies fail in 2-3 years and take other components with them.
• India-specific fit - voltage tolerance, ambient temperature, vendor support quality.

Price freshness contract

Every price on this site lives in a single source-of-truth file with a “Prices verified” date stamped on every page it appears. When prices on Indian retailers drift more than ~5-10% from ours, that date tells you it's time for an update.

We're honest about not being a real-time aggregator. Prices are verified manually so they can be trusted in context, with the freshness date visible.

Cookies and tracking via affiliate links

Affiliate links drop standard tracking cookies when you click them - this is how the vendor knows the visit came from GetPC and pays the commission. This is industry-standard behaviour for affiliate links on any website.

Per the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (2023):

• The cookies are set by the destination vendor (Amazon, Flipkart, etc.), not by GetPC.
• GetPC does not have access to the cookie or your purchase data - only the vendor does.
• You can clear these cookies at any time from your browser settings.
• The vendors' own privacy policies apply to data they collect.

GetPC uses Google Analytics 4 for aggregate pageview counts - with IP anonymization enabled and no user-level profiling. No third-party advertising trackers, no Facebook pixels, no retargeting infrastructure, no user accounts or profiles to track. The Google Analytics cookie is set by Google; you can opt out via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Why this matters

The whole point of GetPC is to be a trusted source for Indian PC builders. The minute that trust is compromised, the site is worthless. Honest disclosure costs nothing and protects the only thing that actually matters.

If you suspect a recommendation is biased, or if a disclosure on the site seems incomplete or unclear, email me directly. I'll either explain the reasoning, fix the disclosure, or correct the recommendation.

Future changes

This page will be updated whenever the affiliate landscape changes - new programs joined, programs left, new sponsorship policies, new compliance requirements. The “last updated” date at the top of this page is always current. Significant changes will also be mentioned briefly in the next update note on the homepage.
