The problem I'm facing with this, is that the ads where part of an affiliate program, and thus I'm looking at a massive amount of communication with both the company I'm affiliated with and the company I'm affiliated through (TradeDoubler).
Now, I've had lots of ads disaproved for all sorts of reasons, but these has been active for a couple of weeks before being disaproved.
Anyone else seen this?
Today I had all ads in a campaign disaproved because the landing page was not secure.
Hi Nikke - if you want more information regarding your particular situation, it would probably be best to reply to the disapproval email that you will have received, and ask for clarification on any details that aren't clear.
In some scenarios, though, policy requires that if the ad's landing page is collecting social security, bank account info, or credit card numbers, it must be a secure processing page - in order to protect our users/your customers.
So, yes - you are correct that it would need to be a https page, or show the lock icon in the bottom right of the page.

I did reply through the support form since the mail had a distinct please-don't-reply air to it. No reply yet though.
The landing page does ask for the Swedish equivalent to a social security number, which happens to be publicly accessible information in Sweden. I can actually call the Swedish equivalent to the IRS and ask them for any neighbours social security number, as long as I have a name and an address. They aren't even allowed to deny me the info (except for certain protected identities).
However, I have forwarded the communication to the merchant, and have good hopes that they will either move this text box to the next page (which is secure) or move the landing page to a secure protocol.
