1. Introduction

Vesto is a free service that helps you choose your outfits based on the weather. To maintain this free service and continue improving it, we use affiliate links to generate revenue.

The purpose of this page is to be completely transparent with you about our revenue model and how we make money.

2. What is an Affiliate Link?

An affiliate link is a special link that allows us to receive a commission when you purchase a product after clicking on it. This commission is paid by the seller or brand, at no additional cost to you.

The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the seller's website.

3. How Do Our Recommendations Work?

3.1 Our Commitment

We are committed to recommending only products that truly match:

• Your style preferences defined in your profile
• Current or future weather conditions
• Quality standards that we deem acceptable

Your satisfaction is our priority, not our commission.

3.2 Product Selection

The products we recommend come from various sources:

• Partner brands and retailers via affiliate platforms (AWIN, CJ Affiliate)
• Primarily fashion items for women (80%), men (10%), and children (10%)
• Clothing, shoes, and accessories

We never recommend a product solely because it offers a higher commission. Our algorithms prioritize relevance to you, not our compensation.

4. Our Affiliate Partners

We currently work with the following affiliate platforms:

4.1 AWIN

AWIN is an affiliate platform that connects us with hundreds of fashion brands. When you purchase a product via an AWIN link, we receive a commission from the seller.

4.2 CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction)

CJ Affiliate is another affiliate platform that allows us to collaborate with international fashion and accessory brands.

4.3 Commission Transparency

Commission rates generally vary between 3% and 15% of your purchase amount, depending on the brand and product type. These commissions are paid by the seller, never by you.

5. Your Rights and Our Commitment

5.1 Freedom of Choice

You are completely free to:

• Use or not use our affiliate links
• Search for the product directly on the seller's website
• Compare prices on other sites
• Buy or not buy the recommended products

5.2 No Purchase Obligation

Vesto remains 100% free whether you purchase via our links or not. All app features (weather recommendations, wardrobe management, etc.) remain freely accessible.

5.3 Data Protection

When you click on an affiliate link:

• We do not share any personal data with sellers
• Affiliate platforms use cookies to track purchases, in compliance with GDPR
• You can consult our Privacy Policy for more details

6. Editorial Independence

6.1 Our Independence

Although we receive commissions on sales, we maintain our complete editorial independence. This means:

• No brand can pay to be recommended as a priority
• Our algorithms are based on relevance, not commissions
• We can remove a product from our recommendations at any time if we believe it doesn't meet our quality standards

6.2 Honest Reviews

We only publish recommendations based on:

• Objective weather data
• Your personal preferences
• Product relevance to your style and needs

7. Frequently Asked Questions

Do I pay more if I use your links?

No. The price is strictly identical. The commission is paid by the seller from their margin, not added to your price.

Why do you use affiliate links?

To keep Vesto free and fund the development of new features. Without this revenue, we would have to charge for the app or display intrusive advertising.

Can I use Vesto without clicking on affiliate links?

Absolutely. You can use all of Vesto's features without ever clicking on an affiliate link. The app remains 100% free.

How can I tell if a link is an affiliate link?

In the app, all links to products for purchase are affiliate links. We are transparent about this.

Do you recommend products just to make money?

No. We only recommend products that are relevant to you based on weather and your preferences. Our reputation and your satisfaction are more important than short-term commissions.

We may update this affiliate disclosure from time to time to reflect:

• Addition of new affiliate partners
