Notice of Illegal Content

Version 1.0 | Last Updated: 22 April 2026 | Effective Date: 22 April 2026

Who can submit. Any individual or entity (you do not need a SocialGryd account) can notify us of content on SocialGryd that you believe is illegal. This is the Article 16 Digital Services Act notice-and-action mechanism. Notices must be sufficiently precise and adequately substantiated.

Urgent safety threats. If you believe content depicts child sexual abuse or exploitation (CSAE), a credible imminent threat to life, or ongoing serious harm, please email report@socialgryd.com directly with the subject "URGENT CSAE" or "URGENT THREAT TO LIFE" — this routes to a 24/7 priority queue with a 1-hour triage target for CSAE under our Child Safety Standards. If a person is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services (112 in the EU, 999 in the UK, 911 in the US).

1. Before you submit

If you are reporting a copyright or trade-mark infringement, use our DMCA / IP Takedown process instead.
If you are a Trusted Flagger under DSA Article 22, use the Trusted Flaggers channel for priority handling.
If you are law enforcement or a regulator, please use the Law Enforcement Guidelines.
If you are a SocialGryd user, the in-app "Report" button on every post, comment, profile, message, event, and space is usually the fastest path.

2. Submit a notice

Complete the form below. Your notice will be sent by email to report@socialgryd.com. You will receive an acknowledgement within 24 hours and a reasoned decision without undue delay, typically within 7 days for straightforward cases.

Category of alleged illegality * URL(s) or in-app identifier(s) of the content *

Please be as specific as possible. Vague references ("a post I saw yesterday") mean we cannot act.

Why is the content illegal? Please explain. * Under which country's or EU law? * Your name

Optional unless the content is protected speech on its face and we need to weigh your identity against the speaker's rights. Anonymous notices are still considered.

Your email address * Organisation (if any)

I declare in good faith that the information and allegations in this notice are accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge, and I understand that knowingly submitting misleading information may amount to misuse under Article 23 DSA and may itself be unlawful. *

3. What happens next

Acknowledgement within 24 hours.
Triage and review by a human moderator (or, for CSAE, by a specialist reviewer within 1 hour).
Decision — we may remove, restrict, demote, leave as-is, or refer to law enforcement. We issue a Statement of Reasons to the content owner if action is taken, and a reply to you with the outcome and the legal basis.
Record-keeping. We log the notice in our Transparency Report pipeline.

4. Appealing our decision

If you disagree with our decision, use the "Appeal" button in the decision email to trigger internal review under DSA Article 20.
If you remain dissatisfied after appeal, you may refer the dispute to a certified out-of-court dispute-settlement body under DSA Article 21 or to a court of competent jurisdiction.

5. Abuse of notice and action

Under Article 23 DSA we may suspend the handling of notices from submitters who repeatedly file manifestly unfounded notices, after warning. Thresholds are documented in our Transparency Report.

6. Data we collect

We process the information you submit under Article 6(1)(c) and (f) GDPR (compliance with a legal obligation and legitimate interests in safety and lawfulness). Your email address is used to communicate with you about the notice and is retained for the period required by our Privacy Policy. You have the rights listed in the Privacy Policy, including the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority.
