"We got a CNIL letter and had 14 days. We had a rep appointed, notice endpoint live, and a Statement of Reasons filed on day 6. They handled the mechanics entirely."

Digital Services Act · Mandatory for non-EU platforms
Article 13 legal rep, a working notice endpoint, published transparency.
If EU users can post, list, buy, or sell on your product — the DSA applies. We provide the named EU legal representative, a hosted Art. 16 notice endpoint, Statement-of-Reasons filings, and your annual Article 15/24 transparency report. One engagement, three artifacts, no platform-law research required.
Which tier are we?
The DSA scales with you. Your representative should too.
Not every platform has VLOP obligations. But every non-EU platform needs a named representative. Toggle what's true for you — we'll tell you which tier fits.
Awaiting input
Tap what's true — we'll classify you.
Every non-EU service with any of these traits needs an Art. 13 representative. The tier determines what else you owe: notice endpoint, internal complaints, trader KYC, transparency reporting, or the full VLOP slate.
The cost of ignoring Article 13
The DSA is already enforced. Platforms are finding out the hard way.

6%
Of global annual turnover under DSA Art. 74 — roughly 1.5× GDPR's ceiling. Applicable for non-appointment, late transparency, and more.

Common questions
Platform founders ask us these.
Are we actually a "platform" under the DSA?
If your service stores and disseminates user-generated content to the public, you're a hosting service at minimum — and a platform if that dissemination is a non-minor feature of the service. Marketplaces, forums, review sites, social apps, UGC video — all platforms. We classify you precisely on the discovery call.
Do small platforms get exempted?
Micro and small enterprises (under 50 staff and $11M turnover) are exempt from Section 4 obligations — internal complaints, trader KYC, the larger transparency disclosures — but not from Art. 13 legal representative, Art. 16 notices, or baseline transparency. You still need a rep.
What if the EC designates us as a VLOP?
Your obligations expand substantially: systemic risk assessment, independent audit, researcher access, crisis protocol, supervisory fee. We upgrade your engagement to the VLOP tier and coordinate with external auditors. Most of our VLOP-tier clients onboarded pre-designation.
How is DSA enforcement actually going?
The Commission has opened formal proceedings against multiple VLOPs and fines are escalating. For smaller platforms, national Digital Services Coordinators handle enforcement — first letters are showing up with 14-day response windows and "proof of rep appointment" requirements.
Do we need a separate representative from our GDPR one?
Legally, yes — they're different mandates. Operationally, no — we can run both under one engagement. Same contact point, same inbox routing, unified archive for both GDPR Art. 27 and DSA Art. 13 correspondence.
Can we switch representatives later?
Yes. DSA representative appointments are terminable with reasonable notice. We help with the handover, file the change with your lead DSC, and export every notice, SoR, and transparency log. 30-day termination, no punitive clauses.
