Is Your Ad Copy Legally Compliant?
Scan your ad copy for FTC, FDA, GDPR, DSA, FCA, and UKGC compliance issues. We check against 30+ known regulatory triggers and missing disclosure requirements.
Why Legal Compliance Scanning Protects Your Business
Advertising regulations aren't suggestions — they're enforceable laws with real consequences. The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has issued over $500 million in fines for deceptive advertising in the past five years alone. In the EU, the Digital Services Act (DSA) imposes penalties of up to 6% of global annual turnover for systemic non-compliance. And the UK's Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) publishes every upheld complaint publicly, creating permanent reputational damage. Industries like healthcare and financial services face even stricter requirements.
This tool scans your ad copy against 30+ regulatory triggers sourced from official FTC Endorsement Guides, FDA DSHEA requirements, GDPR Articles 13/14, the EU Digital Services Act, FCA Financial Promotions rules, and UKGC Advertising Standards. For each issue found, it identifies the specific regulation violated and provides the exact fix needed to achieve compliance. For platform-specific policy checks, use our Keyword Risk Checker or the Meta Rejection Predictor.
