Your policies. Your rules. Now visible to you. For the first time, you can see exactly what Adclear checks for in your material, and trace every check back to the policies you’ve shared with us. No black boxes. No mystery logic. Just your compliance, made transparent. This guide walks you through what’s new, how to read your rules, and how regulatory sources fit alongside them.
We’re rolling out the Rules page across the app. The exact menu path may evolve as we refine the experience. If you can’t find it, use product search or reach out to Adclear Support and we’ll point you straight to it.

Why this matters

Rules describe what Adclear checks for when reviewing your material. That’s always been true. What’s new is that you can now see them. Every rule shown for your organisation is derived directly from the policies and materials you’ve shared with us. We’ve turned your guidance into practical, reviewable checks, and we’re showing you the result. There’s no separate, arbitrary rule set operating behind the scenes. What you see is what we check. This is a deliberate shift toward transparency. You should be able to look at any check we run and understand where it came from.

What you’ll see when you open a rule

Open any rule and you’ll find:
  • Name: a short, recognisable title
  • Summary: a plain-language explanation of what’s being checked
  • History and updates: high-level notes on how the rule has evolved
What’s visible can vary by role. If your job is simply to understand what’s being checked, the summary is your starting point, combined with whatever guidance your organisation provides internally.

Regulatory sources and handbooks

Your rules show what we check based on your policies. Regulatory sources, including official handbooks, published references, and the wider compliance landscape, sit alongside them in their own dedicated space, so you always know where authoritative guidance lives.
🚧 INTERNAL DRAFT: DO NOT PUBLISH 🚧The sections below are placeholders for internal discussion. They are NOT to be published in any client-facing version of this guide until product, design, and the relevant Adclear contact have signed off.Remove or replace everything between this banner and the “If something looks wrong” section before any external release.
⚠️ PLACEHOLDER: link to the shared handbook / regulatory indexA single link or hub will be added here when available. We do not intend to expose every regulatory rule individually on the same screen as all your site rules.
⚠️ PLACEHOLDER: Direction under discussion (not final)The team has discussed positioning similar to the below. This is not final until product and your Adclear contact confirm it:
  • Do not create dummy regulatory (e.g. COBS-style) rules per site as a stand-in for showing regulatory coverage properly elsewhere.
  • Show regulatory sources in one central place instead of linking each regulatory requirement one-to-one to each site rule.
  • Use a dedicated “regulatory sources” area in Adclear (for example toward the bottom-left of the interface, exact placement and naming may change) where clients can see applicable handbooks and regulatory references.
  • Bring handbook references into the client-facing area (rather than only in admin), so clients can actually see them.
Draft client-facing language (for review):
  • Your site-specific rules come from the policies and materials you’ve shared with us, expressed as checks.
  • Your general regulatory coverage (handbooks and official references) is visible in the regulatory sources / handbook references area, separately from those policy-derived rules.
⚠️ PLACEHOLDER: Short-term approach discussed
  1. Upload your policies and show site rules as we normally would (derived from what you’ve shared).
  2. Do not try to map every regulatory rule individually onto the same list as every site rule.
  3. Expose handbook / regulatory references in the client-visible area we’re defining (alongside Policy Management, exact UI still TBD).
  4. Explain to clients that all applicable regulatory sources are covered in that regulatory sources experience, not necessarily as a separate line for each requirement next to each rule.
  5. Use this as a short-term way to complete the project; we can revisit tighter rule-by-rule mapping later if needed.
🚧 END OF INTERNAL DRAFT SECTION 🚧Everything above this banner (back to the matching banner near the top of this section) is internal-only and must not appear in published client documentation.

If something looks wrong

We want to know. Transparency only works if you can flag what doesn’t add up. Contact Adclear Support if:
  • A summary is missing or doesn’t make sense
  • A rule doesn’t match what your organisation expects
  • You can’t access rules you should be able to see
  • Anything looks inconsistent or unclear
A short description goes a long way, and a rule name or screenshot helps us get to the answer faster.

Frequently asked questions

Because you asked, and because we believe you should always know what we’re checking on your behalf. Visibility into your rules is a core part of how Adclear earns and keeps your trust. We’d rather show you the workings than ask you to take our word for it.
Yes. Every rule for your organisation is generated from the materials you’ve shared with Adclear. Nothing is invented or imported from elsewhere. If a rule doesn’t look like it belongs to your policies, that’s exactly the kind of thing we want flagged through Support so we can investigate.
Visibility depends on the role assigned to each user. Some roles see full rule details, others see summaries only. If you think you should have more (or less) access than you currently do, your internal Adclear administrator can adjust it, or Support can help confirm the right setup.
Your rules cover the checks derived from your own policies. Broader regulatory coverage, such as published handbooks and official references, is handled separately through the regulatory sources experience, so you always know where authoritative guidance lives without it being duplicated against every individual rule.
Tell us. Contact Adclear Support with the rule name and a quick description of what looks off. Rules evolve as your policies do, and feedback is the fastest way to keep them accurate.
The reviews themselves continue as they always have. What’s different is that you now have a clear window into the checks behind those reviews, which makes it easier to interpret results, brief your teams, and have informed conversations with us.

In summary

  • Your rules come from your policies. What you’ve shared with Adclear, expressed as checks you can see.
  • Regulatory sources live in their own space. Centrally available, not duplicated beside every site rule.
  • The Rules page is rolling out. Exact location in the app may shift. Search or Support will always get you there.
  • Questions? Concerns? Adclear Support is your direct line.
