Those policies also prohibit deceptive advertising, political advertisements, weapons, controlled substances, violence, defamatory content and other restricted categories.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>Apple previously said Maps advertisements would begin rolling out in the United States and Canada this summer. According to the company, search results in Apple Maps will display a single sponsored business, identified with a small blue halo around its map pin and labelled as an advertisement in the Suggested Places list.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>Apple also said that information about advertisements users interact with remains on the device and is neither collected by the company nor shared with third parties.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>In its blog post, Apple wrote, \u201cThese policies help explain what is and isn\u2019t allowed when advertising your content with Apple\u2019s advertising services. The following is not intended as legal advice. Adherence isn\u2019t necessarily sufficient to meet the standards of state, provincial, or federal laws. Apple encourages each advertiser and its agency to consult with legal counsel.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>When advertising within Apple\u2019s video, display, and maps advertising inventory, you must comply with all the following policies relating to advertising.
