This policy applies to listings in CSS product pages. Learn more about Shopping ads policies.

Our policy

Google values honesty and fairness, so we don’t allow the listing of products that are designed to enable dishonest behavior.

Examples of what's not allowed

Products that enable dishonest behavior

Products that help customers to mislead others.

  • Examples: Fake or false documents such as passports or diplomas; aids to pass drug tests; custom or pre-written essays; invalid click or "ad spam" products

Products that enable a user to gain unauthorized access (or make unauthorized changes) to systems, devices, or property.

  • Examples: Hacking devices; radar jammers; devices to change traffic signals; phone or wiretapping products

Products that enable a user to track or monitor another person or their activities without their authorization.

  • Examples: Spyware and technology used for intimate partner surveillance including but not limited to spyware/malware that enables a user to monitor texts, phone calls, or browsing history; GPS trackers specifically marketed to spy or track someone without their consent; and promotion of surveillance equipment (for example: cameras, audio recorders, dash cams, and nanny cams) marketed with the express purpose of spying.
Note: This doesn’t include products designed for parents to track or monitor their underage children.

Note: If your product is disapproved or if your CSS product pages or Merchant Center account are impacted, please reach out to your technical account manager.
