Content & takedown

Effective 14 July 2026

zantau respects intellectual property and privacy rights. This policy explains how the library is compiled and gives rights-holders and individuals a clear route to request the review or removal of content.

About the library

zantau is a competitive-research tool. The advertising creatives, copy and metadata in the library are collected from advertising platforms’ public ad-transparency libraries and comparable public sources, and we add our own editorial analysis — patterns, storyboards, transcripts and written breakdowns — for the purpose of commentary, review and research. Advertising creatives and copy remain the property of the advertisers and rights-holders that created them; we do not claim ownership of them.

Requesting removal of content

If you are a rights-holder (or their authorised agent) and believe that material in the library infringes your copyright or other rights, or if you believe library content includes personal data relating to you, please contact us at legal@zantau.com. We aim to acknowledge valid requests promptly and, where appropriate, will remove or restrict access to the material while we review it.

To help us act quickly, please include:

your name and, if acting for someone else, who you represent and your authority to act;
a description of the material and its location on zantau.com (the specific URL(s));
the right you are relying on (for example, copyright, trade mark, or a privacy/data-protection request);
for copyright or trade-mark claims, a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised by the rights-holder, their agent or the law;
a statement that the information in your request is accurate; and
contact details we can use to reach you.

Brand marks in Zantau Studio

Separately from the library, Zantau Studio offers users a small, curated set of third-party brand marks — company logos, app icons, app-store badges and payment marks — that can be placed in a creative they build. These are made available for identification and reference only. They remain the trade marks of their owners, we grant our users no licence in them, and their presence implies no endorsement, sponsorship or affiliation. Our users are responsible for ensuring their own use of a mark is permitted, and our terms require them to warrant exactly that.

This is a curated allowlist, not an open logo search — we can tell you precisely which marks we carry. If you own a brand mark and want it removed, email trademarks@zantau.com (or use the address below) and tell us the brand. You do not need to identify individual creatives. We will remove every asset for that mark from Studio and stop offering it.

Removal is permanent and automatic: a withdrawn mark is recorded as blocked, so it is not reinstated when we next update from our upstream sources. We do not need a repeat request.

Personal data in advertising

Where library content includes personal data — for example, a person appearing in an ad — you can ask us to review or remove it under our Privacy Policy. We will handle such requests in accordance with applicable data-protection law.

How we handle requests

We review each request in good faith. We may ask for further information where a request is unclear or where we need to verify that you hold the rights concerned, and we may decline or reinstate content where we reasonably believe a request is invalid, unfounded or made in bad faith. Submitting a knowingly false or abusive request may itself carry legal consequences. Nothing in this policy limits any legal rights or remedies available to you or to us.
