1. Our advertising standard
Advertising should pay for a useful free tool without damaging the reason people use it. FAST-VID therefore keeps every commercial placement clearly labelled, visually separate from download controls and outside the metadata lookup, download preparation and file-saving workflow.
The current build does not load advertising-network code, tracking pixels or affiliate tracking. This policy sets the standard that any future placement must meet before it can be enabled. Network applications and direct agreements are evaluated separately.
2. Allowed formats
- Static banner advertising.
- Clearly labelled native advertising.
- Direct sponsorship placements.
- Relevant affiliate recommendations.
- Sponsored educational articles.
- Fixed-duration brand partnerships.
- Advertising-network placements that comply with FAST-VID standards.
3. Prohibited formats
The following formats are not accepted, regardless of the network or sponsor offering them:
- Pop-unders.
- Intrusive pop-ups.
- Forced redirects.
- Unexpected new tabs.
- Push-notification advertising requests.
- Fake download buttons.
- Forced software installations.
- Ads that interfere with metadata lookup, download preparation or saving.
- Autoplay advertisements with sound.
- Deceptive, malicious or misleading advertisements.
4. Advertising independence
- Advertisers cannot influence download results. A paid relationship never changes which public links are accepted, which formats are listed or whether a file is delivered.
- Sponsors cannot purchase favourable technical reviews. Editorial coverage of formats, tools and services is based on relevance and verifiable behaviour, not payment.
- Affiliate relationships must be disclosed. Pages containing affiliate links identify them and explain that FAST-VID may earn a commission. Read the Affiliate Disclosure.
- Sponsored content must be identified. A sponsorship label appears on the placement itself, not only in a distant footer.
- Advertising partners do not receive individual users' download histories. FAST-VID does not sell or share a visitor's individual download activity with advertisers or sponsors.
- FAST-VID retains the right to reject or remove advertisements. A placement can be refused or withdrawn at any time, including after publication, if it conflicts with this policy or with visitor trust.
5. Advertising networks
FAST-VID may work with third-party advertising networks. Their advertising content must comply with this policy and with the applicable network and provider policies. Before any network is enabled, the operator must review its creative standards, data practices, consent requirements, tracking behaviour, jurisdiction-specific rules and termination process.
No advertising network is announced or implied by this policy. A network name will appear only after an actual integration is approved and disclosed, together with any required consent and privacy updates.
6. Placement rules
- Advertisements stay outside the download queue, result card and file controls.
- Advertisements are never placed between a visitor and a download action they have already started.
- Advertising labels use plain language and remain visible without hover.
- No placement may mimic FAST-VID navigation, buttons or system messages.
- Ads are not loaded on error states where they could be confused with recovery instructions.
Current status. This build contains no third-party advertising scripts, no affiliate tracking and no advertising cookies. Any future placement requires a separate review, and this page will be updated before activation.
7. Reporting an advertisement
If you see a FAST-VID placement that breaks this policy, send the page address, approximate time and a screenshot to support@fast-vid.com with the subject “Advertising report”. Reports are reviewed manually; no guaranteed response time is offered.
