Salonnare hosts areas where users or tenants publish their own content: the public marketplace (/salons), salon and staff profiles, reviews and ratings, images and text fields visible in booking and customer communications. This section describes our policy under Article 14 of the EU Digital Services Act (Regulation 2022/2065).
Prohibited content includes anything that: (a) is unlawful under Dutch or EU law, (b) incites hatred, discrimination, violence or harassment, (c) is sexually explicit or targets minors, (d) infringes third-party intellectual property or personality rights, (e) contains misleading medical, cosmetic or financial claims, (f) constitutes spam, phishing or malware, (g) publishes special-category personal data (GDPR Article 9, such as health data) without a valid legal basis, or (h) damages the integrity, security or reputation of Salonnare or other users.
Moderation is primarily reactive: anyone may submit a notice at salonnare.com/report-content (DSA Article 16 notice-and-action, response time 7 calendar days for routine, 48 hours for illegal or harmful content). We enforce proactively only on clear abuse signals (e.g. bulk spam, known malware patterns, automated scraping). We do not use automated decision-making within the meaning of GDPR Article 22; every removal or restriction is a human decision.
Where we remove, restrict, demonetise or suspend an account, the affected user receives a reasoned statement under DSA Article 17 (Statement of Reasons), including legal basis, scope, appeal routes and evidence references. An internal complaint route is available for six months via [email protected] (DSA Article 20); we decide within 10 working days and document outcome and rationale.
Out-of-court dispute resolution is available via a body certified by the competent national Digital Services Coordinator (DSA Article 21), without prejudice to rights under section 16 (competent court Breda + ODR platform). Hosting of user content falls within the liability exemption of DSA Article 6: we are not liable for content of which we have no actual knowledge, provided we act promptly upon obtaining such knowledge.
