Version 1.0 · Effective 3 October 2026
This policy explains how we show you that a work is sponsored, and what a sponsor can and cannot do, so you always know what you are watching.
1.1 «برعاية [name]» / "Presented by [name]" means that this organisation funded all or part of the work's production, or paid to appear in it. It may be a company, a brand, a government body or a non-profit.
1.2 A sponsored work is still a NovelLab Studio production and goes through the same reviews and human sign-offs.
| Place | What you see |
|---|---|
| Series page and card | A «برعاية» badge with the sponsor's name and logo |
| Episode page and player | The «برعاية» badge with the sponsor's name; some episodes also open with a short «برعاية [sponsor]» ident |
| End of the episode | An end card with the sponsor's name and its call to action, where the sponsor provided one |
| "How this was made" card | The sponsor's approval among the human sign-offs |
| Our social posts | «إعلان» ("Ad") or «برعاية [sponsor]» in the caption, plus the platform's paid-partnership tool |
| Our celebrity partners' posts | «إعلان» as required by the rules of GCAM (the General Commission for Audiovisual Media), plus the platform's paid-partnership tool |
3.1 A sponsor may:
3.2 A sponsor may not:
3.3 The studio has the final editorial say. We refuse any request that breaks our policies or the law, even if that ends the deal.
4.1 When a sponsor's product or venue appears in the story, that is part of the sponsorship and is covered by the label.
4.2 If an episode includes a call to action from the sponsor, such as a link or a QR code, it appears on the end card, clearly marked as the sponsor's.
4.3 When you visit a sponsor's site, its own privacy policy applies. We do not send it your data.
5.1 Works sponsored by a government body carry that body's name in the same way.
5.2 Awareness and cultural messages are labelled like any other sponsorship.
5.3 We do not accept sponsorship for political or electoral campaigns.
A sponsor may propose poll options. We count votes the same way for every work, and a sponsor cannot change the result. If we do not produce the winning option, we will say why (Terms §7).
Sponsors receive aggregate numbers only: views, unique viewers, watch hours, completion rates, votes, clicks on their call to action, QR scans, and a summary of comment reactions with short quotes and no usernames. They never receive data that identifies you (Privacy Policy §5).
9.1 Some celebrities promote our works for a fee or a share of revenue.
9.2 They must:
9.3 Versions that include a partner's filmed intro are shown as "via @[handle]", and the intro is real footage the partner recorded.
A sponsored work carries the AI label like any other work (AI Transparency Statement).
If you think a sponsored work is not clearly labelled, or that advertising was presented as independent content, use the "Report" button or write to support@novellab.ai. We review it within 72 hours.
We may update this policy. We will tell you about material changes 30 days in advance.
