Ratings and reviews
Authenticate and moderate customer feedback before it reaches product pages and retail channels.
Automating UGC rights
Scale UGC moderation with approved, brand-safe content
Scale UGC compliance without adding manual reviews, spreadsheets, or consent tracking. Bazaarvoice automates rights management, moderation, product tagging, and expiration controls so approved customer content can move safely from social channels to product pages and retail partners.
The Challenge
UGC compliance becomes harder as content volume grows
Permission is a legal requirement, but documenting it becomes harder at scale. Brands must track rights across thousands of assets, products, creators, and channels while applying consistent authenticity and brand-safety controls. RIGHTS BECOME DIFFICULT TO TRACK Permissions, usage terms, and expiration dates can become scattered across systems. UNSAFE CONTENT CAN REACH SHOPPERS Unmoderated photos, videos, or reviews can create immediate reputational risk. MANUAL GOVERNANCE SLOWS ACTIVATION Reviewing, tagging, and approving every asset delays content from reaching shoppers.
Key takeaways
- Reusing customer photos and videos without documented permission creates legal and brand-safety risks, while unvetted content can damage shopper trust before a compliance issue arises.
- Bazaarvoice combines AI screening with expert human moderation to detect fraud, verify authenticity, manage rights, and protect brand safety within one connected workflow.
- Once content is moderated, rights-approved, and accurately tagged, it can move into Display and Amplify for compliant use across owned channels and Bazaarvoice’s global retail network.
