Source Transparency

Mentioned · Last updated 2026-06-12

How Mentioned treats creator sources, automated detection and product visuals.

Creator sources

Mentions are inferred from public YouTube titles, descriptions, thumbnails, links, imported metadata and optional transcript-provider output when available.

Automated detection

Product extraction and sponsorship detection are automated. Sponsored signals can be incomplete, especially when creators use ambiguous wording or third-party shop pages.

Product visuals

Mentioned prefers official brand images, affiliate-feed images, open-data images and exact retailer product pages. LTK posts, social posts, video frames and editorial roundups are not trusted as product packshots.

Placeholders

If a verified product image is missing or an imported image fails audit, Mentioned shows a generated placeholder until a better credited image is imported.

Corrections

Creators, brands and users can report wrong mentions, wrong images or missing attribution via lucka@ux-beratung.de.
