"Any information that you post publicly is not confidential, and we may use it for any purpose (including in testimonials or other marketing materials).

REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The use of user-generated content in testimonials implicates FTC guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, which require that testimonials reflect honest opinions and that material connections be disclosed. The FTC has enforcement authority over deceptive testimonial practices. State consumer protection laws may also apply. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low. This is a common provision in digital service terms; however, the FTC's updated endorsement guidelines create specific requirements for how testimonials and reviews are used in marketing, including disclosure of any material connection between the reviewer and the company. JURISDICTION FLAGS: FTC endorsement guidelines apply nationally. California's Consumer Legal Remedies Act and similar state statutes may impose additional requirements on testimonial use. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: If user reviews are displayed on third-party websites through partner arrangements, those partnerships should include terms consistent with FTC endorsement guidelines. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Marketing teams should ensure that user-generated content used in testimonials complies with FTC endorsement disclosure requirements, and that the process for selecting and displaying reviews does not create a misleadingly positive impression of Ro's products or services.
