My review is not compliant with Skeepers transparency rules. What can I do?

If your quality check has been refused, it's probably because your review is not compliant with Skeepers transparency rules

When you publish either a Youtube video, an Instagram/Tiktok post or a gifted review, your asset will be automatically scanned by our Compliance Monitoring Tool.

The system will verify that you have properly included disclosure terms as outlined in our campaign pages and emails.

As part of its consumer protection mission, the FTC has implemented "Transparency Rules" (also called FTC rules) which require influencers to mention in their publications that the products they received were offered by a brand .

However, some brands do not want to be mentioned in their publications. We therefore invite you to check this point in the campaign guidelines.
