Frequently Asked Questions

What is Disclosure Facts?

Disclosure Facts is a standardized, clickable disclosure label for creator ads, similar to a Nutrition Facts label for sponsored content. It makes brand relationships and sponsorship details instantly clear to consumers.

Who is Disclosure Facts for?

It’s built for creators and brands that want to be transparent about paid partnerships and build trust with consumers.

How does it work?

Each creator or brand generates a unique Disclosure Facts sticker and link that summarize key details such as whether a post is sponsored and what kind of relationship exists with the brand.

Creators add the sticker with the label code as an overlay on their sponsored content and include the link in their bio.

Consumers can search for the label on the Disclosure Facts website using the label code, brand name, or creator name to view full context. Brands can also add the disclosure label directly in TikTok Ad Manager so consumers see the verified label on the post itself without being redirected.

Why do I need a disclosure label if I already use #ad or #sponsored?

Hashtags help, but they don’t always provide the full picture. Disclosure Facts adds clarity with verified information that consumers and regulators can easily understand.

What makes Disclosure Facts different from other disclosure tools?

It’s standardized, verified, and legally aligned. It was built with input from consumers, marketers, creators, advertising lawyers, and regulators to simplify transparency for everyone.

How does Disclosure Facts help with compliance?

The tool automatically formats and timestamps disclosures in a way that aligns with FTC 16 CFR Part 465 and Section 5 standards, reducing the risk of missing or unclear disclosures.

How do I get my own Disclosure Facts label?

Visit disclosurefacts.com and sign up as a business. Businesses create their own disclaimers or invite creators to create verified labels with built-in guardrails for sponsored content.

What information goes on a Disclosure Facts label?

Each label includes key facts such as:

  • Whether the post is sponsored
  • The creator’s relationship with the brand
  • Whether AI, avatars, or digital likenesses were used
  • Whether it’s a personal endorsement
  • Whether the product was purchased or gifted
  • Level of product usage (high or low)

What are Disclosure Facts stickers?

Stickers are small, visual markers that show your post uses a verified disclosure. You can choose from several variations:

  • ⓓ symbol only for basic visibility (low protection)
  • Symbol with label code for medium protection
  • Full sticker with link for highest protection

Where should I put my Disclosure Facts link and sticker?

Add the link to your bio, or caption where consumers can easily access it. Overlay the sticker on your photo or video, typically in a top or bottom corner.

Do I need a new label for every post?

Yes. Each post may have different terms or brand relationships, so each label reflects that specific content’s context.

Can I edit my Disclosure Facts label after publishing?

You can edit future labels, but published ones remain timestamped and verified to preserve their accuracy history.

How can brands use Disclosure Facts?

Brands can register, invite creators, and generate standardized labels across campaigns. They can also add team members and manage permissions.

Can agencies or influencer platforms use Disclosure Facts?

Yes. Brands can invite agencies, assign permissions, and coordinate disclosures for multiple creators under one dashboard.

What’s the benefit for brands?

It centralizes accountability. Instead of relying on creators to disclose correctly, brands can ensure all campaign disclosures are visible, verified, and standardized for consumers across every post.

Is Disclosure Facts approved by the FTC?

While the FTC doesn’t officially approve third-party tools, Disclosure Facts is built around FTC disclosure standards and aligns with 16 CFR Part 465 and Section 5 of the FTC Act.

Does Disclosure Facts replace traditional disclaimers?

No. It complements them. You should still include clear disclosures in your post.
