Terms of Service

Last updated: 30 June 2026

Welcome to Good News. These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your use of the Good News mobile application (the "App").

When you install or use Good News, you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not install the App.

1. Who We Are

The App is provided by:

In compliance with Article 10 of Spain's Law 34/2002 (LSSI-CE), these identifying details are also published on the website. Hereinafter, "we" or "TYP NETWORK".

2. Acceptance

When you install or first use the App, we present separate consent screens for (a) these Terms and (b) the Privacy Policy. Both are positive, voluntary actions (clickwrap); no checkbox is pre-ticked. We log the accepted version (hash and timestamp) per installation.

Because the App is free with no monetary consideration, the 14-day right of withdrawal under EU Directive 2011/83/EU has no monetary effect. Even so, you can uninstall the App and request deletion of your data at any time (see Privacy Policy §10).

3. Description of the Service

Good News is a mobile news aggregator that, every day, surfaces a short selection of positive news — typically between 8 and 12 stories — from a country of your choice (Spain at MVP, with international expansion on the roadmap).

The service consists of:

The App is free, contains no advertising, and has no in-app purchases.

4. Conditions of Use

You agree to:

We may suspend access (e.g. block a push token) if we detect serious or repeated abuse.

5. Intellectual Property

5.1. Third-party articles

The original articles, including headlines, copy, and accompanying photographs, belong to the publishers that produced them (e.g. El País, ABC, La Vanguardia). We do not own them. The App provides:

We rely on (a) the linking exception and, for headlines and short summaries, (b) on individual or collective arrangements with publishers and/or on Article 15 of EU Directive 2019/790 (implemented in Spain by Royal Decree-Law 24/2021 and Article 32.2 of the Spanish IP Act).

Publisher notice: rights-holders may contact privacy@goodnewsapp.app; we respond within 7 days. We accept DMCA notices for US users at the same address.

5.2. AI rewriting and AI generation — transparency

5.3. Our intellectual property

The App's code, design, layouts, and brand ("Good News") are protected work and/or trademarks (registration pending in Singapore and the EU). No copying or reuse without our written permission, except for reasonable informational reference.

For AI-generated content, rights may be limited by jurisdiction. No systematic commercial use without our permission.

6. AI Disclaimer and Incident Reporting

Good News uses AI to classify articles (positive vs not) and to rewrite headlines and summaries. AI systems can:

That is why the link to the original publisher is always available. The App is not a substitute for original journalism; our rewriting is an editorial aid, not a guarantee of accuracy.

Incident reporting. If you encounter a misleading, inaccurate, or harmful AI-rewritten headline or summary:

We review each report within 72 hours and remove or correct the article where the report is well-founded.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, without prejudice to your rights as a consumer under mandatory EU and Spanish law (in particular, TRLGDCU):

Where the law forbids exclusion of certain liability (gross negligence, wilful misconduct, personal injury, consumer-protection rules), that liability remains in force.

8. Service Availability

We provide the App as is and as available. We do not promise a minimum service level or uptime.

We may perform maintenance, modify/suspend/discontinue features, or drop support for older OS versions. Material changes will be flagged with reasonable advance notice inside the App.

9. Modifications and Termination

We may modify, suspend, or close the Service for technical, legal, or viability reasons. Save in cases of imminent risk to other users or the service, we will give you at least 7 days' notice and, where applicable, an opportunity to remedy any issue. If we permanently close the Service, associated personal data is deleted per the Privacy Policy.

You can stop using the App by uninstalling it. To also delete backend data, use "Delete my data" in Settings.

10. Privacy

The processing of your personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy, provided in accordance with GDPR Article 13.

11. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

If you are a consumer resident in the EU, you may bring proceedings before the courts of your country of habitual residence, and the mandatory consumer-protection law of your country applies, including in Spain the TRLGDCU. Legal basis: Regulation (EU) 1215/2012 (Brussels I-bis) and Regulation (EC) 593/2008 (Rome I).

For non-consumer users or users outside the EU, these Terms are governed by Singapore law and disputes are resolved by the courts of Singapore.

Alternative dispute resolution (Spain): Spanish consumers may use accredited bodies (consumo.gob.es) and Consumer Arbitration Boards (Law 7/2017). (The former EU ODR platform ceased operations in July 2025.)

12. Apple- and Google-Specific Provisions

13. Changes to these Terms

Continuing to use the App after the new version takes effect means you accept the changes.
