Brand Safety

Measures taken to ensure a brand's advertising does not appear alongside harmful or inappropriate content.

Brand safety refers to the controls, technologies, and policies that prevent a brand's paid advertising from appearing in contexts that could damage its reputation—including extremist content, misinformation, graphic material, or content misaligned with brand values. Brand safety is a critical concern in programmatic advertising, where placements are automated at scale.
