Digital Services Act (DSA)

1. Introduction

The Digital Services Act (DSA) is a European Union regulation that aims to ensure a safer, more transparent, and accountable online environment for users. It sets out new rules for digital services operating in the EU, including online platforms like FreePicture.

At FreePicture, operated by Creative Union Limit, we are committed to complying with the DSA and providing a safe and trustworthy platform for our users. This page provides information about how we meet our obligations under the DSA and how it affects our users who access our AI-generated images library.

2. Our Commitments Under the DSA

2.1 Content Moderation

FreePicture has established clear content guidelines that outline what content is allowed on our platform. We use a combination of automated systems and human moderators to review AI-generated images and remove material that violates our guidelines or applicable laws.

We have implemented a robust notice and action system that allows users to report content they believe violates our policies or the law. Upon receiving a valid report, we will review the content promptly and take appropriate action.

2.2 Transparency Reporting

In accordance with the DSA, Creative Union Limit publishes regular transparency reports that provide detailed information about our content moderation practices for AI-generated images, the number of content removal requests we receive, and how we handle them.

2.3 User Protections

We take measures to protect our users from illegal content, harmful material, and disinformation, particularly in relation to AI-generated images. This includes implementing age verification tools where appropriate, providing clear information about content provenance (indicating which images are AI-generated), and giving users control over their privacy settings when accessing our RF-licensed images.

3. Reporting Concerns
