Copyright & Publisher Policy

Effective date: 8 October 2026 (2026-10-08) · Last updated: 8 October 2026

SwipelyNews is run by one independent developer. Every story credits the outlet, shows a short AI summary, and links prominently to the original article. We don't republish full articles, and we respect publishers' robots.txt and opt-out choices (see SwipelyNewsBot).

Report a copyright issue

Email support@swipelynews.com with the subject "Copyright notice", and include:

  • who you are and how to reach you (and, if you act for someone else, whom you represent);
  • the work you believe is infringed (e.g. the article, photo or video, with a link);
  • where it is on SwipelyNews: the story link (https://swipelynews.com/r/…, from Share in the App), or a description (outlet, headline, date);
  • a statement that you believe in good faith that the use isn't authorised by the rights holder or the law;
  • a statement that your notice is accurate, and that you're the rights holder or authorised to act for them (for US DMCA notices: under penalty of perjury);
  • your signature (a typed full name is fine).

We usually reply within a few working days. We may remove the content while we check. You can report other illegal content the same way (subject: "Legal notice").

Counter-notice: if your content was removed and you think that was a mistake, reply to our email with your reasons. For US copyright removals, include the elements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(g).

Publishers: to stop us using your content, email support@swipelynews.com with the subject "Publisher opt-out" (or block "SwipelyNewsBot" in robots.txt). We remove existing stories and their media within 48 hours.

Repeat infringers: we stop using sources that repeatedly carry content they aren't entitled to.

This policy is part of our Terms of Service. All language versions of this document are equally authoritative. If they differ, the interpretation most favourable to you applies.
