Etsy Releases 2015 Transparency Report

Today we’re releasing our second Transparency Report — a snapshot of how we integrate Etsy’s company values, responsibility to our members and legal obligations. Our first Transparency Report provided an in-depth look at the complex legal and trust & safety issues in our marketplace for 2014, and we’ve now updated the metrics for 2015.

Etsy’s marketplace, community and mission are unique, and our report reflects that. As we did last year, we’re not only including information about requests for member information and intellectual property takedowns, we’re also providing insight into how we strive to keep our marketplace a reliable, trustworthy place to shop and do business.

Our Transparency Report is a reflection of our core values, which include running a mindful, transparent and humane business. Operating as an open marketplace brings with it far-reaching opportunities for creative entrepreneurs to build businesses, pursue creative expression and engage with a welcoming community, and we firmly believe these benefits outweigh the challenges openness presents. You can read more about our approach and the substantial resources we dedicate to enforcing and maintaining our values and policies here.

While most of the results were consistent with last year, we introduced some new tools and systems to help us better enforce our policies:
