Affiliate Marketing Disclosure

Last updated May 15, 2026 · FTC 16 CFR Part 255 compliance

Plain-language summary

UPick (operated by Domus Antonia Lux LLC) participates in affiliate marketing programs. When you tap an outbound link from the app or from getupick.com — for example, "Watch on Amazon," "Subscribe to Max," or "Buy tickets at AMC" — and you sign up or complete a purchase, we may earn a commission. The price you pay is unchanged.

We disclose this in three places: in the app's onboarding, in the website footer ("As an Amazon Associate UPick earns from qualifying purchases."), and here in full detail.

How affiliate links are used

UPick is an iOS app that helps couples and groups pick what to watch together. When a content match lands or a user taps "Watch on" / "Buy" / "Sign up" from a match card, deep-link buttons surface partner offers. We use the following promotional methods:

In-app deep links — Match-moment cards show streaming-service buttons. Tapping a button opens the partner's app (if installed) or web URL with our affiliate identifier appended. Server-side Cloud Function (clickTimeVerify) confirms availability before the deep link is offered so we never surface a stale link.
Theatrical signup links — In-theaters titles surface Fandango / AMC / Atom Tickets affiliate URLs.
Purchase / rent links — Amazon Video search URLs with our Associates tag (getupick-20), Apple TV deep links, Vudu / Fandango at Home links.
Streaming-service subscription links — When a match is available only on a service the user doesn't currently subscribe to, the "Subscribe" button on the match-moment screen routes through the appropriate affiliate URL.
Website outbound links — getupick.com homepage CTA + footer affiliate-disclosure compliance.

We do not use:

Pop-up / pop-under / interstitial affiliate redirects
Cookie stuffing
Forced-click / hidden-iframe activation
Email marketing of affiliate offers (we don't email users)
Sub-affiliate / second-tier programs

Compensation

Commission structures vary by partner. Typical ranges:

Streaming signups: $5–$15 bounty per new subscriber, partner-dependent
Physical media purchases: 3–8% of sale (Amazon Associates standard rates)
Theatrical tickets: $0.50–$2.50 per ticket purchased
Audiobook signups: $5–$15 per new trial

UPick is a small independent operation. Affiliate revenue is a meaningful but minority share of total revenue — most revenue comes from optional in-app subscriptions ($3.99/mo, $24.99 lifetime, etc).

Editorial independence

Affiliate relationships do not influence:

Which titles UPick surfaces in your swipe stack (driven entirely by TMDB popularity + your taste profile + your stated streaming services)
Which streaming services UPick supports (we support every service that offers public deep links, regardless of affiliate relationship)
The order of streaming-service buttons on a match card (sorted by user-set preference, then alphabetical)
Your taste vector (24 dimensions, weighted only by your swipes + ratings)

If you'd rather not use any affiliate links, every partner's primary URL is publicly reachable — Amazon, Max, Hulu, Fandango, etc. all have their own direct signup flows. Affiliate clicks are entirely optional.

Cookies and tracking

Most affiliate networks use first-party cookies set by the partner's domain (not by us) to attribute conversions. UPick does not set its own tracking cookies in the iOS app — attribution flows through Apple's deep-link → partner-cookie chain. On getupick.com, we honor Global Privacy Control and "Your Privacy Choices" opt-outs (see /privacy-choices).

Children

UPick is 12+ rated. We do not affiliate-link products marketed to children. Theatrical ticket links surface for the title's actual MPAA rating; we do not gate by user age beyond Apple's App Store age restriction.

Affiliate partner inquiries

Brands or networks interested in working with UPick: [email protected]. We're particularly interested in:

DTC streaming services with US-based subscriber bases
Theatrical ticketing networks beyond Fandango / AMC / Atom
Audiobook / podcast platforms for book-adaptation match cards
Physical media retailers (Best Buy, Walmart, Target — though we already deep-link non-affiliate)

Updates to this disclosure

We add new affiliate partners as our applications approve. This page is updated whenever an affiliate relationship is added or removed. Material changes are also reflected in the app's About screen.
