Compliance with the Digital Services Act (EU)

In compliance with the REGULATION (EU) 2022/2065 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 October 2022 on a Single Market For Digital Services and amending Directive 2000/31/EC (Digital Services Act) we inform you that the average monthly active recipients of our platform in the European Union is lower than 10.

To calculate the average monthly active recipients, we analyzed the number of individuals in the European Union that have actively used our platform in the last 6 months (August 2024 – January 2025), regardless of if they are registered users or not. Once we gathered all the information for each month, we calculated the average.
