Content Dispute Policy

Last Updated: 8/23/2026

This policy outlines how PeerFolio handles disputes related to content posted on our platform, including allegations of defamation, false information, privacy violations, and other concerns. We are committed to maintaining a fair and balanced approach that respects both freedom of expression and the protection of individuals' reputations and rights.

1. Our Approach to Content Disputes

PeerFolio is a platform that enables professionals to share genuine reviews and feedback about their colleagues and business connections. We recognize that professional reviews can sometimes lead to disputes, especially when individuals disagree with how they are portrayed. We take a balanced approach to handling these disputes, with the following principles guiding our decisions:

  • We value honest, factual feedback based on real professional interactions
  • We do not tolerate deliberately false or malicious content
  • We respect legal requirements across different jurisdictions
  • We aim to provide all parties with a fair opportunity to address concerns

2. Grounds for Content Dispute

You may dispute content posted on PeerFolio if you believe it meets one or more of the following criteria:

  • False Information: The review contains demonstrably false statements of fact (not opinions)
  • No Professional Relationship: The reviewer has never had a genuine professional interaction with you
  • Personally Identifiable Information: The content reveals private information that shouldn't be publicly disclosed
  • Harassment or Threats: The content constitutes harassment, threats, or incitement to violence
  • Discriminatory Content: The content discriminates on the basis of race, gender, religion, etc.
  • Intellectual Property Violation: The content infringes upon your intellectual property rights
  • Legal Violation: The content otherwise violates applicable laws

3. Content Dispute Process

3.1 Reporting Disputed Content

If you wish to dispute content on our platform, please follow these steps:

  1. Use our in-platform reporting tool: Navigate to the review in question and click the "Report this review" option. Provide as much detail as possible about why you believe the content violates our policies.
  2. For serious legal matters: Send a detailed email to nullcodeai@gmail.com with the subject line "Content Dispute." Include the URL of the disputed content, your relationship to the content, the specific statements you dispute, and any evidence supporting your position.

3.2 Our Review Process

Once we receive your dispute, we will:

  1. Acknowledge receipt of your dispute within 2 business days
  2. Conduct an initial assessment to determine if the content potentially violates our policies
  3. If appropriate, temporarily flag the content as "Under Review" while we investigate
  4. Contact the content author to provide them with an opportunity to respond to the dispute
  5. Review all available evidence and make a determination based on our policies
  6. Notify both parties of our decision and any actions taken

3.3 Possible Outcomes

After reviewing a content dispute, we may take one or more of the following actions:

  • No Action: If we determine the content does not violate our policies
  • Content Removal: Remove the content entirely if it clearly violates our policies
  • Content Editing: Request the author to edit specific portions of the content
  • Add a Response: Allow you to post a public response to the disputed content
  • Add a Disclaimer: Attach a note indicating that the content is disputed
  • Account Action: Take action against accounts that repeatedly post violating content

4. Important Legal Disclaimers

Section 230 Protection (United States)

In the United States, PeerFolio operates under the protection of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which provides that "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider." This means that, under U.S. law, PeerFolio is generally not liable for the content posted by our users.

Intermediary Liability Protection (International)

Many countries have similar laws that protect online platforms from liability for user-generated content, such as the E-Commerce Directive in the EU, the Digital Services Act, and similar regulations in other jurisdictions. We comply with local requirements for content removal when properly notified according to applicable laws.

While we maintain these legal protections, we are committed to being a responsible platform that respects the rights of individuals and complies with applicable laws. Our content dispute process is designed to balance free expression with protection against genuinely harmful content.

5. Truth as a Defense

In most jurisdictions, truth is an absolute defense against defamation claims. Our policies reflect this principle. We will generally not remove content that is demonstrably true, even if it portrays an individual in a negative light. However, we will consider whether the content violates other policies, such as those regarding privacy or harassment.

6. International Considerations

We recognize that defamation and content laws vary significantly across different countries. When handling content disputes that involve international elements, we consider:

  • The location of the parties involved
  • The location of our servers and company
  • The specific requirements of applicable local laws
  • International standards for freedom of expression

In some cases, content may be restricted in specific geographic regions if it violates local laws but does not violate our global policies or the laws of our home jurisdiction.

7. Court Orders and Legal Requests

We respect valid court orders and legal requirements. If you have obtained a court order requiring the removal of content from our platform, please submit it to nullcodeai@gmail.com along with appropriate documentation verifying its authenticity. We will review and process valid legal orders in accordance with applicable laws.
