Request: For each operation, the Google Ads API will only take into account the requested exemptions that are listed in PolicyValidationParameter.ignorable_policy_topics from the field policy_validation_parameter, not in PolicyValidationParameter.exempt_policy_violation_keys.

Response: The Google Ads API will only return ad policy errors as PolicyFindingErrors in the field GoogleAdsError.error_code and provide details as PolicyFindingDetails in the field GoogleAdsError.details, not as PolicyViolationErrors and PolicyViolationDetails.

What’s Not Changing

All the ad policies will remain and all the ad policy checks will still occur.

AdWords API

The ad policy status information AdGroupAdPolicySummary will remain accessible by querying the field AdGroupAd.policy_summary.
