Reporting Illegal Content to Talkwalker

Last updated: April 24 2025

Introduction

This page describes how you can report illegal content to Talkwalker, plus some guidance on the type of information to provide, what constitutes illegal content and what Talkwalker does after you report illegal content.

Note that if you have identified illegal content on a Third Party Platform (as defined in our Terms of Service), you should report that content directly to the applicable Third Party Platform, as Talkwalker will not be able to remove it. You should only use the illegal content reporting process described on this page for content that exists on the Talkwalker platform or that is hosted by Talkwalker.

Reporting illegal content to Talkwalker

If you believe that content on the Talkwalker platform or content that is hosted by Talkwalker is illegal, you can report this to Talkwalker by using the form on this page.

Important: When you report content as illegal, please be specific and provide supporting evidence to allow us to make an informed decision. If the report does not contain enough information for Talkwalker to clearly assess whether the content is illegal, we will either request further information from you or decline to remove the applicable content.

Any personal information collected in connection with this form will be used by Talkwalker in accordance with our privacy policy.

Guidance on reporting

Anyone can report illegal content to Talkwalker. The illegal content does not need to be about you or someone you know.

Please consider the following high-level guidance when completing the reporting form:

• Provide clear information and be as specific as possible.

• Provide as much detail and context as you can, which will support your report and help us to make a decision.

• While not required for you to file a report, if you are able to do so, we ask you to provide details of the law and/or Talkwalker policy that you think the content violates. We ask that you be as specific as possible to allow us to properly assess your report.

• In some cases it may be easy to identify that content is illegal, whereas in others it may be less clear. It’s also important to note that what may be considered illegal in one country may not be considered illegal in another country. In general, some examples of content that would be considered illegal include content that: incites violence, hatred, or discrimination; relates to child sexual exploitation; involves the non-consensual sharing of intimate images; relates to organized crime; constitutes harassment or defamation; or violates an individual’s privacy or intellectual property rights. This list is not exhaustive, however, and you may report any content that you believe is illegal.

• You may also use the form to report content that you believe breaches Talkwalker’s Basic Conditions of Use and Content Limitations, which apply to all Talkwalker users and establishes what Talkwalker does and does not allow on the Talkwalker platform.

Providing us with the above information allows us to make an informed decision regarding whether to take any action as a result of your report.

What happens after you report illegal content?

Once you have submitted the illegal content form, Talkwalker will confirm that it has received your submission (if you opted to share your contact details) and will carefully review the information you have provided to validate whether or not the content you have described is illegal and/or otherwise breaches Talkwalker’s Basic Conditions of Use and Content Limitations. If our review confirms that the content is illegal or breaches Talkwalker’s Basic Conditions of Use and Content Limitations, then we will remove the content from the Talkwalker platform and provide the content owner with a summary of our reasons for taking this action. If our review concludes that the content is not illegal and does not breach Talkwalker’s Basic Conditions of Use and Content Limitations, then we will not remove the content from the Talkwalker platform.

Please note that if the information you provided is not sufficient for Talkwalker to reach a conclusion, we will either request more information from you or decline to remove the applicable content. In any event, we will respond to your report and let you know the outcome of our review (if you opted to share your contact details when submitting your report to Talkwalker).
