-
a clear indication of the exact electronic location of that content, for example by:
- providing the URL address;

-
your first name and surname, except in relation to the following criminal offences:
- criminal offences relating to sexual abuse;

- contacting children for sexual purposes;
- incitement, aiding and abetting, or attempt to commit any such criminal offence.
By submitting a notice, you agree to provide us with reasonable cooperation in locating the content if it cannot be precisely identified from the information provided.
By submitting a notice, you also declare that you are acting in good faith and that the information you provide is accurate and complete.
If your notice does not include all required information, we may contact you to request that you provide the missing information.
Upon receipt of your notice, we will inform you of its receipt within a reasonable time and without undue delay; we will also notify you without undue delay of our decision regarding the reported content and provide information on the available means of redress.
What Is Illegal Content?
Illegal content is any information that, in itself or in relation to an activity, is not in compliance with generally binding laws of the EU or of any EU Member State.
Illegal content may include (but is not limited to):
- infringing content (e.g., infringement of intellectual property rights, unauthorised disclosure of sensitive personal data, deepfakes containing compromising content, calls for bullying);
- content that is discriminatory, insulting, vulgar, incites hatred, or otherwise infringes the rights of others;
- content encouraging self-harm, extremism, or terrorism;
- sexual content, especially where it concerns children (e.g., child sexual abuse material, child abuse, content involving pornographic violence);
- content endangering public health or safety (e.g., instructions for manufacturing weapons or toxins);
- presentation of products, or information about them, that does not comply with legal requirements or infringes the rights of other persons.
Measures Taken
We are not able to detect illegal content, or non-compliance with the EULA, automatically – we rely on information provided by persons or entities that alert us to it. We do not carry out automated or prior verification of content – decisions are made only after a notice has been received.
After receiving information about illegal content in relation to User Content, or about non-compliance with the EULA, we will assess its legality and, if it is confirmed to be illegal, we will remove it or disable access to it. If the assessment takes longer, we may temporarily restrict access to that User Content. If you report illegal content, we may also:
- restrict the visibility of the relevant User Content (by removing it, disabling access to it, or otherwise limiting its availability or prominence);
- suspend or terminate access to PIXEL services (in whole or in part) for the End User in breach;
- suspend or terminate access to the Account or immediately terminate the EULA for the End User in breach.
Decisions regarding illegal content are always made by a natural person – not by an automated system.
We respect the fundamental rights of End Users, including freedom of expression and the right to information. Whenever we impose a restriction, we provide a statement of reasons to the affected End Users (Article 17 DSA).
Our Legal Obligations
The DSA requires us to take certain actions or provide certain information if requested by a competent judicial or administrative authority. If such an order concerns you or your content, we will inform you of the receipt and execution of such order either after its receipt, at the time the relevant measures are taken, or at such time as may be specified in the order by the issuing authority.
In addition, we are required to publish, at least once a year, a clear report on content moderation (a transparency report). The report is published on our website.
Finally, if we become aware of information that may indicate a criminal offence involving a threat to life or safety, we will immediately report it to the relevant authorities in the Member State concerned and provide them with all available information for effective action. Our priority is to ensure your safety and protect your interests.
Your right to report illegal content is fully supported by our commitment. If you notice illegal content on our services, you have the right to report it through the email address provided above.
