EU + LATAM creator-disclosure compliance guide
A practical guide to disclosure requirements across AUTOCONTROL and RD 444/2024 (Spain), Loi Influence (France), ASA (UK), CONAR (Brazil), and Profeco (Mexico) — what's required, what's enforced, what's coming.
Disclosure requirements have tightened sharply across EU + LATAM markets. The Loi Influence in France can fine brands per non-compliant post; Spain has RD 444/2024 and the AUTOCONTROL code; CONAR in Brazil and Profeco in Mexico are following. This guide lays out what's required where, what's actually enforced, and how to operationalize compliance at the brief layer rather than the creator-memory layer.
What's inside
- Spain (AUTOCONTROL, RD 444/2024, CNMC) — required language and where it must appear. For the Spanish rules in depth, read Real Decreto 444/2024 in plain language and our summary of the October 2025 AUTOCONTROL code.
- France (Loi Influence + ARPP) — what's mandatory, the per-post fine schedule, how brands are held jointly liable.
- UK (ASA / CAP Code) —
#adrequirements, recent rulings, hashtag placement rules. - Brazil (CONAR) —
#publicidadeand#publi, what counts as adequate disclosure. - Mexico (Profeco) — emerging requirements, the regulatory direction in 2026.
- Cross-border campaigns — which standard applies when an EU creator addresses a LATAM audience, and vice versa.
How to operationalize
The core insight: disclosure should be enforced at the draft approval step, not at the creator-memory step. The brief schema should encode per-region disclosure language; drafts without compliant disclosure should be unable to ship; an audit log per campaign should be available to legal and finance.
Who this is for
Brand legal and compliance teams; agency leads who manage creator programs across EU + LATAM; operators who want to stop relying on individual creator vigilance for what is now a seven-figure-fine risk.
