2. If the content is illegal then the Cyprus Police makes any necessary actions to deal with the situation and informs the hotline of the outcomes.

3. If the content is not illegal then the Cyprus Police notifies the hotline mentioning what the content was referring to in order for the hotline to register it on its database and/or notify where necessary the Safer Internet Center.
