To create a safe and reliable advertising environment, AdOperator enforces clear restrictions on the types of content that can be promoted through its platform. These guidelines help maintain quality, protect users, and uphold legal and ethical standards across all campaigns. Below are the main categories of prohibited content that advertisers should avoid, along with resources to ensure compliance.
Prohibited Content Types
Drugs and Drug-Related Products
Ads promoting the sale, use, or distribution of drugs, including illegal substances and unauthorized pharmaceuticals, are strictly prohibited. This includes any content that implies or encourages drug use, as well as accessories or paraphernalia related to drug consumption.
Misleading or Deceptive Content
Campaigns must provide clear and accurate information. Misleading users with false claims, exaggerated product benefits, or deceptive practices (such as fake testimonials or doctored images) is not allowed. The platform requires transparency so that users receive an honest representation of the product or service.
Illegal Activities
Any ad content that promotes, encourages, or facilitates illegal activities is prohibited. This can include, but is not limited to, hacking, identity theft, unauthorized financial activities, or any promotions that would violate local or international laws. The platform seeks to ensure that all advertising is lawful and ethical.
Phishing and Fraudulent Offers
Advertisements should never attempt to deceive users into providing sensitive information (such as passwords, credit card details, or personal identification). Phishing schemes and fraudulent offers that manipulate users for financial gain are strictly banned, as they jeopardize user trust and security.
Malware or Harmful Software
Content containing or linking to malware, viruses, or any harmful software is strictly restricted. Ads must not compromise user devices or data security. The platform requires that all links and downloadable content associated with ads be safe and virus-free.
Importance of Following Ad Guidelines
