Affiliate disclosure
Honesty matters. Here's how Lina Santiago makes money — and how that affects what you read here.
The short version
Some links on Lina Santiago are affiliate links, primarily through Microsoft's own affiliate program. If you click one and end up subscribing to Microsoft 365, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same as if you went to microsoft.com directly.
What we will and won't do
- We only recommend products we'd genuinely use ourselves. If we don't trust something, you won't find it in our articles.
- We label affiliate-heavy posts with a clear notice at the top.
- We don't accept payment for positive reviews. Sponsored content (if it ever happens) will be clearly marked as such.
- Our editorial choices — what to write about, what to recommend, how to rate things — are not influenced by affiliate payouts.
Independence
Lina Santiago is an independent blog. We are not owned by, employed by, or officially affiliated with Microsoft Corporation. We use Microsoft's affiliate program because it's the most direct way to support the product we write about.
FTC compliance
This disclosure is provided to comply with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR Part 255: Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, and similar regulations elsewhere.
Questions?
If you ever feel a recommendation we've made isn't honest, tell us. We take that seriously.
