# Tag Policies
Copy pageCopied
Tag Policies define rules that govern which tag values are accepted for a given tag key, scoped to a particular telemetry source (such as logs, spans, or metrics). Policies can be `blocking` (data not matching the policy is rejected) or `surfacing` (matching data is highlighted but not blocked). Each policy reports a compliance `score` derived from how much recent telemetry adheres to the policy.
