Brand Safety
The policies and controls used to reduce the risk that advertising appears beside content or in contexts that could harm a brand.

The policies and controls used to reduce the risk that advertising appears beside content or in contexts that could harm a brand.

Teams should document the measurement system and distinguish platform-reported results from independently verified business outcomes.
