All publishers are required to adhere to the following policies, so please read them carefully. If you fail to comply with these policies without permission from Doceree, we reserve the right to disable ad serving to your app/website and/or disable your Doceree account at any time. If your account is disabled, you will not be eligible for further participation in the Doceree program.
Publishers are not permitted to place Doceree ads on pages with adult or mature content. While we recognize that interpretations of adult or mature content may vary across countries and cultures, we hold all publishers accountable to the same content requirements so that we can ensure a safe and healthy global advertising ecosystem.
If you’re unsure about whether or not something might be considered adult content, our general rule of thumb is this: if you wouldn’t want a child to see the content or you would be embarrassed to view the page at work in front of colleagues, then you should not place ad code on it.
1. Nudity and pornograph
Doceree ads may not be placed on pages that contain nudity or pornography. Examples include, but are not limited to, pages with images, videos, or descriptions containing:
- pornographic images, videos, or games
- pornographic cartoons or anime (hentai/ecchi)
- nudity
2. Sexually gratifying content
Doceree ads may not be placed on content that is sexually suggestive and/or intended to cause sexual arousal. Examples of content that may be considered sexually gratifying include, but are not limited to:
- close-ups of breasts, buttocks, or crotches
- sheer or see-through clothing or lingerie
- strategically covered nudity (includes situations in which genitals are blurred out by camera)
- images of men or women posing and/or undressing in a seductive manner
3. Fetishes and sexual aids
Doceree ads may not be placed on pages that promote, sell, or discuss sexual fetishes, aids, devices, or enhancement tools.
A fetish may be an obsession or sexual desire in which gratification is dependent upon specific objects (diapers, food items, etc.), materials (leather, latex, etc), parts of a body (feet, toes, ears, etc.), or situations. Examples of types of fetishes and fetishistic practices may include, but are not limited to:
- bestiality, necrophilia, incest, and voyeurism
- role-playing, bondage, dominance and submission
- sadomasochism, snuff
Doceree may consider something to be a sexual aid, device, or enhancement tool if it is used for sexual pleasure and/or to improve sexual experiences. This includes, but is not limited to:
- sexual toys such as vibrators, dildos, personal lubricants
- penis and breast enlargement tools and/or medications
Certain medications used to treat conditions like erectile dysfunction fall under our recreational drug policy.
4. Recreational drugs and drug-related content
We want to help keep people safe both online and offline, so we don’t allow the promotion of some products or services that cause damage, harm, or injury. For this reason, Doceree ads may not be placed on pages that sell or promote recreational drugs and drug-related content including:
- Promotion of substances that alter mental state for the purpose of recreation or otherwise induce “highs”. Examples:

Examples of comment spam include but are not limited to random sentences and/or portions of sentences to forum posts that have been copied and pasted from other sources, random and/or nonsensical words, and phrases that are unrelated to the topic. While we understand the challenges of monitoring user-generated content, we require publishers to monitor the pages upon which ad code appears.
8. What’s my responsibility with user-generated content?
As a publisher, you are responsible for ensuring that all user-generated content on your site or app complies with all applicable program policies. Practically, this means that to participate in Doceree program you need to ensure that, on pages where your ad code appears, all content, including user-generated content, complies with all applicable program policies.
9. What makes user-generated content different from the rest of my content?
Unlike the rest of your content, which is likely created directly under your guidance and supervision, user-generated content is submitted by users who operate independently of your site or app. Unfortunately, not everyone on the Internet is polite and well-mannered. Because users can post anything, you, as a publisher, need to be prepared to ensure that what they do post complies with all applicable program policies.

They mimic the brand features of the product in an attempt to pass themselves off as a genuine product of the brand owner.
b. Underage, non-consensual, or illegal sex acts
Doceree absolutely prohibits monetization of content related to child sexual abuse imagery or pedophilia. Doceree has always been at the forefront in the fight against online child abuse, and an avid supporter of family safety online.
Under United States federal law, child sexual abuse imagery is defined as visual depictions of minors (i.e., under 18) engaged in a sexual act such as intercourse, oral sex, or masturbation as well as the lascivious depictions of the genitals (covered or uncovered). This definition extends to photographs, videos, cartoons, drawings, paintings, and sculptures. The image can involve a real child; a computer-generated, morphed, composite or otherwise altered image that appears to be a child (think “Photoshop”). This also includes soliciting minors for sexual acts, which is also known as “enticement.”
Pedophilia is any content or behavior (images, texts, videos, etc.) that depicts, encourages, or promotes sexual attraction by adults toward minors (i.e., under 18)
