Regulatory Compliance
How we follow rules from regulators around the world.
Regulators are government agencies that set the rules for online services. We work with them in many countries to make sure we follow the law.
Privacy Regulators
Data protection authorities in the EU, UK, and Brazil oversee how we handle personal data. We file regular reports and answer their questions in full.
Consumer Protection
The FTC in the US and similar bodies elsewhere watch how ads make claims. We follow their rules in our advertiser policies and content guidelines.
Tax and Finance
Revenue agencies set rules for invoices, tax IDs, and reporting. Our payment system handles the math automatically and adapts when rules change.
Quick tips
- •Use the right tax ID in your advertiser profile.
- •Read our country pages for local rules.
- •Reach out to support if a regulator contacts you.
