Report Content

Last updated: 12 November 2026

When to report

Use this procedure for a specific public page, Piece, Block, media item, annotation, account activity or other hosted material that you believe is illegal or violates applicable platform rules. Examples include threats, unlawful disclosure of personal information, copyright infringement and unlawful abusive material. A report does not automatically establish illegality. Editorial disagreement or lawful criticism alone is not grounds for removal.

For immediate danger, contact emergency services first (112 in the Netherlands and throughout the EU).

Where to send it

Email legal@lera.link with the subject line Content report. This channel needs no account.

Signed-in members of an installation can also report a margin note with the report option next to it. That report goes to the installation's own team, which moderates its community; it does not reach us. To report something to LeraLink itself, use the email address above.

Information needed

To enable a sufficiently substantiated notice, please provide (1) a reasoned explanation of the alleged illegality, (2) the exact URL or other precise electronic location and, where relevant, screenshots or contextual information, (3) your name and email address, except where the Digital Services Act allows omission for specified child sexual abuse offences, and (4) a good-faith statement that the information is accurate and complete. You may submit other concerns even where you cannot identify the legal provision. For intellectual-property complaints, identify the protected work and your relationship to the rights-holder.

If disclosure of your identity could create a safety risk, say so and share only what is necessary; we will handle information in line with applicable law and privacy safeguards. Do not send unlawful intimate material or child sexual abuse material as email attachments; provide a location and report to competent authorities where appropriate.

How we handle reports

We assess reports carefully, objectively, without arbitrariness and without undue delay, considering the relevant legal framework, context and rights. Where an electronic contact address is supplied, we acknowledge receipt and communicate our decision and available redress as required by the DSA. We may seek clarification, consult the installation's editor or preserve necessary evidence. A decision may be to remove content, restrict access, reject a report or take another proportionate measure. Where required, affected users receive reasons and information about contesting the decision, subject to lawful exceptions.

LeraLink is a hosting service under the Digital Services Act, and the duties of hosting services apply to it. Further procedures that the DSA requires of online platforms, such as a statutory internal complaint-handling system, apply where a LeraLink service is an online platform and no exemption applies. Contact point for authorities and recipients of the service: legal@lera.link (English or Dutch).

Disagreement and complaints

If you disagree with a decision, reply to the decision email or write to legal@lera.link. We will reconsider where warranted and provide any legally required internal complaint or external redress pathway. No contractual deadline in this notice cuts down mandatory DSA or judicial remedies. Repeated bad-faith reports may be addressed only subject to the safeguards applicable to the service.

Privacy

Information in a report is used to assess and document it, communicate with relevant parties and comply with legal obligations. It may be shared with the customer, alleged uploader, external adviser or competent authority when necessary and lawful. See the Privacy Statement.
