Visibility Services and Advertising Approach
Open Video Project uses limited, clearly labeled advertising to help discover freely available informational video content. Advertising is a reach tool, not a monetization scheme that changes access to content. We do not sell financial products, investment services, or paid business opportunities. All promotional placements are disclosed so that viewers can separate editorial content from promotional content. Our visibility efforts focus on contextual relevance and compliance with platform policies to maintain viewer trust.

Visibility Services - Purpose and Limits
Our visibility services are designed to help the public find informational videos that are freely available. We place contextual advertising to surface videos to relevant audiences and to promote public understanding of civic, scientific, and cultural topics. We do not gate content behind paywalls, and we do not convert informational videos into paid offers. Viewer access remains unrestricted. Ads are used only to increase discoverability and are not a method to solicit or recommend financial services, investment opportunities, or business deals. Placement choices are governed by editorial priorities, relevance to the topic, and strict compliance with advertising platform standards. We evaluate audience targeting conservatively and avoid sensitive profiling or promotions that could mislead viewers or conflict with our editorial mission.
Advertising Policies and Sponsor Guidelines
We require sponsors and advertisers to agree to a clear set of guidelines: advertising must be factual, non-misleading, and contextually appropriate for the informational content it promotes. Advertisers are not permitted to influence editorial decisions, research, or content approval. Sponsored segments are identified prominently and labeled as such. We do not accept ads for services that provide financial advice, investments, or business opportunities that could be construed as solicitation. All placements are reviewed for compliance with major advertising platform rules and our internal transparency standards. We keep records of sponsor relationships and can provide summaries on request to support accountability. Transparency about advertising supports public trust and helps regulators and platform partners assess compliance quickly.
Maintaining Non-Commercial Integrity
Open Video Project remains non-commercial at its core. We do not offer products, investment advice, or paid business opportunities. Our funding, which may include modest advertising income, is used to cover operational expenses and to extend reach. We publish contact information and maintain a verifiable organizational address so that users and platform partners can verify our status. Any advertising income is separate from editorial budgets and cannot be used to alter information presented in videos. Corrections, source links, and version history remain available for all informational content. If you have concerns about a placement, a claim in a video, or platform compliance, please reach out and we will respond promptly with documentation and, where necessary, corrections.
