What counts as a clear disclosure for affiliate links?

Use plain wording like “We may earn a commission from links,” place it near the link or claim (not only in footers), ensure it is noticeable on mobile and desktop.

Where should sponsorship labels appear in social posts?

Put “Ad,” “Sponsored,” or “Paid partnership” at the start of captions, use platform partnership tools when available, and add on-screen labels in videos and stories.

How do we disclose AI-generated content responsibly?

When AI meaningfully shapes output, label it (e.g., “AI-generated, human-reviewed”), explain review steps, avoid implying human authorship, and correct known limitations.

Do we need consent to use customer testimonials or logos?

Yes. Obtain explicit permission, disclose incentives, keep records, ensure claims reflect typical results or add clear context, and respect privacy or trademark rules.

What are key FTC expectations for influencers in the U.S.?

Disclosures must be hard to miss, in simple language, placed before or near endorsements, repeated in videos (spoken and on-screen), and not hidden in mixed hashtags.

How often should we review privacy and disclosure language?

Review quarterly and after product, policy, or jurisdiction changes; verify on mobile; and re-test wording when platforms update ad or partnership requirements.

How can we measure whether disclosures affect conversion?

Run A/B tests on wording and placement, track CTR and CVR with holdouts, and watch trust signals like refund rate, CSAT, complaint volume, and support tickets.

Brand Trust and Disclosure: Guidelines, Examples, Compliance

Jump to section

Overview

Trust is earned when promises are clear and proof is visible. Disclosure makes that trust operational: it tells customers who pays, what’s sponsored, how data is used, and what standards back your claims.

This category covers practical ways to implement disclosures that meet regulatory expectations (e.g., FTC) and user expectations. You’ll find frameworks for placement and wording, consent and privacy UX patterns, claim substantiation, and measurement methods that protect both conversion and credibility.

Use these resources to align marketing, product, and legal around one goal: communicating the facts customers need at the moment decisions are made.
