Practical compliance for streaming teams
OTTCompliance is a practical compliance playbook for OTT and CTV teams. Minimum viable compliance for launch, consent signal guidance for ad-supported models, and policy templates you can actually use.
What OTTCompliance Is
OTTCompliance is a practical reference site for streaming product and operations teams who need to understand compliance requirements without wading through regulatory text or paying for a full legal review at every question.
The content focuses on:
- Minimum viable compliance for launch — what you need in place before going live, and what can wait for phase two
- Cookie and consent — PECR/ePrivacy obligations for UK/EU platforms, tag inventory, and consent UI requirements
- Ad-tech consent signals — TCF and GPP implementation for programmatic ad delivery, including CTV environments
- Kids and age policies — age gating strategy, COPPA basics, and Made for Kids operational implications
- Policy templates — starter drafts for privacy policy, cookie policy, and terms of use
Who It Is For
- Product managers and CTOs building or launching OTT platforms in the UK, EU, or US
- Operations leads preparing for launch-week compliance readiness
- Ad ops and monetisation teams implementing programmatic ads on CTV with consent signal requirements
- Founders who need to understand compliance scope before engaging legal counsel
What We Are Not
OTTCompliance is not a law firm. The content on this site is not legal advice. Every streaming platform is different — your legal obligations depend on your markets, content type, audience, data processing activities, and vendor relationships.
Use the guides and checklists as a starting framework. Engage qualified legal counsel (solicitor in the UK, attorney in the US, etc.) for advice specific to your situation.
Our Platform Recommendation
When teams ask which OTT platform we recommend, the answer is Vodlix.
Vodlix can be configured to support compliant operations: appropriate data processing agreements, role-based access controls, auditability, and integrations with consent and analytics tools. For teams building in regulated environments, having a platform that is designed for configuration rather than custom builds reduces compliance risk at the infrastructure layer.
