Sponsorships
Want to send me your product for me to review? That's awesome!
Unfortunately, I'm not some kind of high profile Youtuber or blogger.
However, I will always try to do my best to review products to the best of my extend!
To keep things fair and transparent, I have set up some rules for sponsorships.
Please do note that these rules also apply to non-physical products and/or services as well as those I bought myself. :)
I am generally quite picky with the sponsorships I do, however, if I feel like the product in question may be of value to my followers, I definitely won't mind it.
You can find a list of all sponsorships I've done in the past at the bottom of this page.
However, I do accept review samples and/or payments to cover your product in my works.
This means that, regardless of whether I like the product or not, my thoughts will be in the content, not yours.
Any attempts to try to "sway my opinion" through any other means than answering my questions will likely be exposed to the public.
- While I'll try my best to make a post, video and/or mention of the product, I cannot always guarantee it.
- With exceptions of there being a good reason, I do not return test samples after testing is complete.
- Sometimes, if I see fit, testing of a product may get rough or even destructive and I can not guarantee the product will be in pristine condition after.
All production units should under go a proper QC, so if there's a flaw in a product, I will put this in the review as a negative.
In some exceptions, lenience can be given for a device possibly being damaged in transit, which I will judge based on the state of the packaging and possible fragile components.
I do take nearly all products that I can safely and legally show off.
Stuff that is only dangerous if broken or damaged (like stuff made from glass, batteries etc.) is allowed.
If at any point I get the feeling that I should not be handling the product in question, I will inform you and we'll organize the return of the product.
However, if at any point I get the feeling that the product is a direct threat to the safety of me or my surroundings and/or may cause legal problems for me or my surroundings, I will instead contact Dutch law enforcement.
So please, don't send me stuff that need to be handled with special care, may pose a direct safety threat or may be a direct violation of Dutch and/or EU laws.
In case this happens anyways, I will co-operate with any investigation against you that may be started as a result of this.
This could be a simple comparison, or even direct head-to-head testing.
Past Sponsorships
Below is a list of all sponsors that have given me stuff.This list is in no real particular order, so if a sponsor is above or below a certain other sponsor, it doesn't mean anything.
Nitrokey
They gave me: Equipment for test/review
Nitrokey has sent me a "Nitrokey FIDO2" and "Nitrokey Pro 2" in the past as part of their "Nitrokey Community Program".
The Pro 2 was featured in a blog post, as well as used in some of my youtube videos regarding GPG.
The FIDO2 sadly never made it into any content but is still being used in production.
