Global Standards
How we keep one global standard that respects local rules.
RateAds works in dozens of countries. We aim for one global standard that respects local rules without splitting the experience.
Core Rules Are Global
Honesty, kindness, and helpfulness are the same in every country. Our community standards apply to every member, no matter where they sign up.
Local Rules Adapt
Some content is illegal in some countries. We add small local layers on top of the global rules. The added layers are listed on our country pages.
Privacy Is Always High
We treat every member to the strictest privacy law that applies anywhere. That means EU members and US members get the same privacy controls.
Quick tips
- •Set your country in your profile to see local layers.
- •Reach out if a local layer surprises you.
- •Read our international compliance page.
- •Use the privacy controls page to set your level.
