What is The Taurus?

The Taurus emerges as the first compliance platform specifically designed to meet the requirements set forth by EU Regulation 2024/900, which governs the Transparency of Political Advertising. This regulation stipulates that all political advertisements distributed within the EU must incorporate a structured transparency notice that provides key details such as the sponsor's identity, payment information, targeting criteria, and a permanent URL paired with a QR code. The Taurus significantly enhances this process by offering an intuitive guided wizard that helps sponsors fill out the necessary information in approximately 10 minutes. Moreover, publishers are equipped with a detailed dashboard that allows them to manage sponsor invites, verify compliance before ads go live, and create timestamped audit trails. Key functionalities include the wizard-driven notice generation, permanent URLs hosted on ttad.eu, printable QR codes, a seven-year document retention policy, an Art. 15 complaint mechanism, compliance links that connect sponsors and publishers, and support for multiple languages, including English and German. A free Verified tier is available, as well as subscription options for the Ensured Sponsor at EUR 4.90 per month and the Ensured Publisher at EUR 19.90 per month, both of which offer a 14-day free trial. Created by Expanse UG in Munich, The Taurus not only aims to ease the compliance burden in political advertising but also seeks to enhance transparency and accountability within the political arena. By doing so, it fosters a more informed electorate, which is essential for a healthy democratic process.
