Transparency Report

Last updated: April 2, 2026

In compliance with the EU Digital Services Act (DSA), we publish this transparency report detailing our content moderation activities. This report covers the policies, tools, and processes The Transfer Portal uses to maintain a safe and trustworthy platform for all users.

1. Content Moderation Overview

The Transfer Portal employs a multi-layered approach to content moderation combining automated AI systems with human review. Our goal is to ensure that all content on the platform — including profile photos, bios, and messages — meets our Community Guidelines and Profile Guidelines.

  • Automated screening — AI-powered image and text moderation scans all uploaded content before it becomes visible to other users.
  • Human review — Flagged content and user reports are reviewed by trained moderators who make final enforcement decisions.
  • User reporting — Any user can report profiles, photos, or messages directly from within the app.

2. Reporting Period

This report covers the period from January 1, 2026 – December 31, 2026.

6. Average Response Times

We prioritise reports based on severity. Our target response times are as follows:

Priority LevelTarget Response Time
High priority (illegal content, imminent safety threats)< 4 hours
Standard (guideline violations, general reports)< 24 hours

Actual average response times will be published at the end of the reporting period.

7. Automated Moderation

The Transfer Portal uses the following automated tools to assist with content moderation:

  • Google Cloud Vertex AI — Image Moderation — All user-uploaded photos are scanned for explicit, violent, or otherwise prohibited visual content before they are shown to other users.
  • Google Cloud Vertex AI — Text Moderation — Profile bios and user-generated text are analysed for hate speech, harassment, and other policy violations.
  • Automated duplicate detection — Systems identify and flag potential fake or duplicate accounts based on behavioural signals and image similarity.

Automated systems are designed to flag content for human review rather than take final enforcement action independently. All permanent enforcement decisions (suspensions and bans) are made by human moderators.

8. Orders from Authorities

Under DSA Articles 9 and 10, we report on orders received from judicial or administrative authorities of EU Member States.

Order TypeCount
Orders to act against illegal content (Art. 9)[Data pending first reporting period]
Orders to provide information (Art. 10)[Data pending first reporting period]

We comply with all valid orders from competent authorities and report back on actions taken within the timeframes specified by law.

9. Average Monthly Active Users (EU)

As required by DSA Article 24(2), we publish the average number of monthly active users in the European Union, calculated as a six-month average.

PeriodAverage Monthly Active Users (EU)
