FlashGet Cast
Effective Date: [2023-08-16]
Overview of Our Policies
We are committed to fostering a robust digital advertising ecosystem— that is reliable, transparent, and beneficial to users, advertisers, and publishers. The aim of these policies is to assist advertisers in creating campaigns on our platform that align with our listed advertising policies.
These policies are designed to ensure a safe and positive experience for our users and to comply with relevant laws. This implies that our policies prohibit content that could harm users and the overall advertising ecosystem.
We aim for users to have a positive experience when they interact with an ad. Hence, ad forms and destinations must provide unique value to users and be functional, practical, and easy to navigate.
Policies Enforcement
We employ a mix of AI and manual reviews to ensure the proper enforcement of our policies. Beyond reviewing individual ads, we also monitor and investigate advertiser behavior and may impose restrictions on advertiser accounts that infringe on our advertising policies. Our review process may not catch all policy violations, so ads remain subject to review and re-review and may be rejected at any time for policy violations. Advertisers are accountable for understanding and adhering to our policies as detailed in this document, all local laws and regulations, and self-regulatory ad posting guidelines, if applicable. If an ad is disapproved, advertisers will generally be given the chance to modify the ad to comply with our policies and may also request a review if they believe the ad was disapproved mistakenly.
Prohibited or Restricted Ads
Illegal Products and Services
Advertisements must not contain, advocate or promote products, services, or activities that are illegal, unlawful or unacceptable to our users.
Misinformation
FlashGet prohibits advertisements from containing content that third-party verifiers have debunked. Advertisers who repeatedly post information that has been determined to be false may be limited in their ability to advertise through FlashGet technology.
Discriminatory Behavior
Advertisements must not engage in or promote discrimination based on personal characteristics such as race, ethnicity, color, national origin, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, family status, disability, medical or genetic condition.
FlashGet forbids advertisers from participating in discriminatory practices when utilizing our advertising products. This means advertisers cannot:
- use our audience selection tools to wrongly target advertisements to specific groups of people, or unjustly exclude advertisements from being viewed by specific groups of people; and
- incorporate discriminatory content within their advertisements. Advertisers are also required to comply with relevant laws prohibiting discrimination. This includes laws that prevent advertisers posting advertisements for housing, jobs, and credit from discriminating against specific groups of people.
Provocative Content
Advertisements must not contain content that claims that a person or class of persons poses a threat to the physical safety, health or survival of others based on characteristics such as race, ethnicity, national origin, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, caste, biological sex, gender, gender identity, serious illness, disability or immigration status.
Unacceptable Commercial Practices
Advertisements must not promote goods, services, programs or opportunities that are deceptive or misleading (including those intended to defraud users of their money or personal information).
Advertisements must not include content that exploits a crisis or controversial event for commercial purposes.
Prohibited Financial Products and Services
Advertisements must not promote financial products and services commonly associated with misleading or deceptive promotions.
Cheating and Deceptive Behavior
Ads may not promote goods or services intended to help users engage in cheating or deceptive behavior.
Non-Existent Features
Advertising images must not depict non-existent functionality. This includes images that mimic play buttons, notifications, or checkboxes, as well as ads that contain ineffective functionality, such as an ad creative that includes multiple options that do not work.
Unrealistic Results
Advertisements may not contain promises or recommendations of unrealistic results regarding health, weight loss, or economic opportunities, as described below.
Circumvention of Systems
Ads may not use improper means to circumvent our ad review process intentionally. This includes attempting to use technical means to disguise ad content or targeted location pages (landing pages). See other advertiser behaviors we prohibit here.

Adult Content
Ads must not contain adult content. This includes nudity, depictions of sexually explicit or suggestive poses, or behavior that is excessively sexually suggestive or provocative.
Ads that claim or imply dating opportunities, the ability to connect with others, or the ability to view content created by others must not be sexually explicit or intentionally sexualize the characters highlighted in them.
Ads may not promote or advertise the use of adult products or services. Advertisements promoting sexual and reproductive health products or services, such as contraceptives and family planning, must be suitable for underage groups and not emphasize sexual pleasure.
Alcohol Products
Advertisements that promote or reference alcohol products must adhere to all relevant local laws, and compulsory or established industry codes, guidelines, licenses, and approvals. They must also employ age and country/region targeting conditions that align with FlashGet's targeting requirements and applicable local laws. Please be aware that, based on local laws, our policy may prohibit ads from promoting or referencing alcohol products in certain countries.
Indecent Language and Strong Words
Advertisements must not contain indecent language or incorrect grammar and punctuation. Symbols, numbers and letters must be used in a standardized manner and must not intentionally circumvent our ad review process or other policy enforcement requirements.
Inferior or Disruptive Content
Ads must not direct users to externally targeted locations (landing pages) that have an unexpected or disruptive experience. Such experiences include misleading ad targeting (e.g., overly hype headlines or prompts that entice users to interact with the ad against their will) and directing users to landing pages that contain very little original content and mostly irrelevant or low-quality ad content.
Personalized Privacy
Ads must not contain content that explicitly or implicitly characterizes individuals. This includes directly or indirectly stating or implying a person's race, ethnicity, religion, beliefs, age, sexual orientation or behavior, gender identity, disability, physical or mental health condition (including mental state), economically disadvantaged group, voting status, trade union membership, criminal record or name.
Internet Betting and Gambling
Internet gaming and gambling, as defined by FlashGet, means any product or service that requires the offer of something of monetary value to participate and rewards a product or service with monetary value. Advertisements promoting online gaming and gambling require our prior written permission to be placed. Authorized advertisers must comply with all applicable laws and add targeting conditions that meet FlashGet's targeting requirements. As a minimum, ads may not target users under 18.
