Advertising policy

Our ads run in bathrooms: a captive audience, sometimes including kids, next to a venue's name. So every ad is reviewed by a person before it runs, and the rules are strict.

What we accept

• Local business
• Food & non-alcoholic drink
• Services & trades
• Events & entertainment
• Retail
• Health & wellness (no medical claims)
• Nonprofit & public service
• Political

What we don't

• Illegal drugs, drug paraphernalia, and anything promoting drug use
  Not on our walls. Not in our stalls.
• Sexual services, escorts, solicitation, or adult content
  It's a bathroom, not a booth.
• Weapons, ammunition, and accessories
  Nothing that goes bang. Not even in the parking lot.
• Alcohol, cannabis, tobacco and vaping, and gambling or sports betting
  We have standards, you know. These are below us. (For now.)
• Hate, harassment, or content targeting people for who they are
• Scams, get-rich-quick schemes, crypto investment pitches, and predatory lending
• Medical, health or financial claims you can't back up
• Anything deceptive, including ads dressed up as something they're not

How review works

• Every campaign starts as pending and runs only after approval.
• Approval covers the exact link we reviewed. Change the destination and the ad stops until it's reviewed again.
• We can reject or pull any ad, and every ad is labeled Sponsored.

Political ads

We put politicians where they belong.

• Political ads must include a "paid for by" disclaimer, which we show word for word. You're responsible for its wording meeting the rules for your race.
• Political ads are labeled Political ad, and ads made in whole or substantially with AI carry that disclosure.
• They run only at venues that have opted in to political ads.
• Every approved political ad is listed in our public political ad archive: who paid, when it ran, and how many times it was shown.

Advertising with us is governed by our Advertiser Terms; this policy is part of them.
