Policy
Advertising and affiliate disclosure policy
For a download-guide site, confusing ads with official download buttons is the main risk. AppVeriq Guide keeps official CTAs separate from ads and affiliate areas.
Advertising principles
- Download-like ads are not placed around official download buttons.
- Fake download buttons, misleading banners, and auto-install prompts are prohibited.
- Affiliate links, if added, must be clearly disclosed.
- Official download links remain neutral and do not force ad clicks or purchases.
- Users must be able to inspect the official path and evidence without clicking ads.
Safe placement before AdSense
Ads are not placed immediately around official-site buttons. Mobile layouts keep explanatory space between ads and CTAs.
If ads are added later, they must be labeled and must not use download/install/official wording.
Sidebar ads must be visually separate from verification evidence, official-domain, and license cards.
AppVeriq Guide does not distribute installers and does not position ads as official download buttons.
Prohibited wording and UI
- Ad wording that makes an ad click look like a download, such as “download now” or “official installer”
- Ad buttons that mimic the color, size, or position of official CTAs
- Mixing ads into the same card as official domain, evidence, checksum, or signature information
- Mobile layouts where ads appear before or attached to official CTAs
User-protection criteria
If ads or affiliate links are added, they remain visually separate, and the official-site button must point to a vendor/developer-controlled domain.
Privacy and external-link rules are explained in the privacy notice; correction and rights-holder requests are handled through the contact page.
Future affiliate disclosure
If affiliate links are added, they will receive separate labels and explanations and will not mimic official download links.
