Promoting a brand, product, or service on TikTok
You can post content that promotes a brand, product, or service on TikTok. This includes:
• Promoting yourself or your own business.
• Promoting a third party brand or its products or services in exchange for payment or any other incentive.
When posting content that promotes a brand, product, or service on TikTok, you must turn on the content disclosure setting. This ensures that you're transparent about the type of content you're posting and helps build and maintain trust between TikTok users and advertisers. It can also let people know if a commercial relationship exists between you and a brand, if applicable.
Requirements for promoting a brand, product, or service
When you post content that promotes a brand, product, or service, your content is required to:
• Adhere to our Terms of Service, Community Guidelines, Branded Content Policy (if applicable), and all applicable laws and regulations.
• Have the content disclosure setting turned on. If you don't display the proper disclosure, we may remove or restrict your video.
What is the content disclosure setting?

What happens when you turn on the content disclosure setting?

• If you're promoting your own brand or business:
༚ Your video will be labeled as Promotional content
