Financial promotions and professional advertising
Leeds has many regulated businesses, so promotions are reviewed with extra care. Under section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, a financial promotion must come from an authorised firm or be approved by one, and the Financial Conduct Authority's guidance on social media applies to influencer and affiliate content too. Solicitors in England are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, whose transparency rules require price and service information on firm websites. Visitor and lead data falls under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. For clients in these sectors the client's compliance contact signs off every ad and page before it goes live.
