DSA Notice — Digital Services Act

Last updated: May 28, 2026

SpeedrunFounder qualifies as an intermediary service provider under Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act, DSA), below the Very Large Online Platform (VLOP) threshold.

1. Single point of contact (Arts. 11 & 12)

• Authorities: dsa@speedrunfounder.com
• Users: support@speedrunfounder.com or /legal/report-content
• Languages: PT, EN

2. Terms and conditions (Art. 14)

/legal/terms is written in clear language with an explanation of moderation rules.

3. Main parameters of the recommender system (Art. 27)

Our matching algorithm ranks people based on:

• Declared overlap of interests (sector, stage, geo, ticket, expertise).
• Semantic profile signal, encoded as a 1024-dimensional vector (Voyage-3-large model).
• Graph proximity (mutual connections, shared events).
• Reciprocity — likelihood the other side wants to talk to you too.
• Recent activity (profiles dormant ≥180 days are deprioritized).

We rerank the top 20 candidates with Cohere Rerank 3.5 and generate a one-sentence explanation per candidate with Claude Haiku 4.5 via AWS Bedrock EU.

What we do not do: we do not charge for higher matching ranking. Sponsored placement exists only in the commercial service-provider directory and is always labeled Sponsored.

4. Notice-and-action (Art. 16)

Anyone can report illegal content at /legal/report-content. We acknowledge receipt and decide within a reasonable time frame.

5. Statement of reasons (Art. 17)

Whenever we remove content, suspend an account, or apply a shadow ban, we provide a statement of reasons with legal basis, decision, right of appeal, and time window (6 months).
