Terms of Service

Last updated: 28 August 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

By installing and using the App you accept these Terms. During initial setup we show you a screen that links the Privacy Policy before you turn notifications on, so you can read it; tapping the enable button is a positive, voluntary action, and no checkbox is pre-ticked. That moment of consent is stored on your own device (an acceptance flag and its date); we do not send it to any server and do not associate it with your identity.

Because the App is free with no monetary consideration, the 14-day right of withdrawal under EU Consumer Rights 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). By installing the App you acknowledge that the digital service begins immediately upon launch.

3. Description of the Service

Good News is a mobile news aggregator that, every day, surfaces a short selection of positive news — typically up to 16 stories — from a country of your choice (Spain and the United States, with international expansion on the roadmap). Older versions of the App show 10.

The service consists of:

The App is free and has no in-app purchases. We do not show advertising-network ads, we do not share your data with advertisers, and no content is personalised based on your behaviour. The App may include one daily entry from a partner, always visibly identified with a "Partner content" label and always distinguishable from editorial content.

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 the limits of Article 15 of EU Directive 2019/790 on press publishers' rights (as implemented in Spain by Royal Decree-Law 24/2021 and Article 32.2 of the Spanish IP Act).

Publisher notice: if you are a rights-holder and believe our use exceeds those limits, contact privacy@goodnewsapp.app and we will respond within 7 days with takedown or licensing options. We also accept takedown notices under the DMCA regime for US users; our designated agent is the same email.

5.2. AI rewriting and AI generation — transparency

For full clarity:

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). You may not copy or reuse them without our written permission, except for reasonable informational reference to the App.

For AI-generated headlines, summaries, and images, rights may be limited by the very nature of AI-generated content depending on jurisdiction. In any case, we do not permit 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 so you can verify the underlying content. 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 an AI-rewritten headline or summary that is misleading, inaccurate, or harmful, you can report it:

We review reports manually and as quickly as we can; where the report is well-founded, we remove or correct the article. We are a small project and do not run a 24/7 desk, so we do not promise a fixed deadline: if the matter is urgent (for example, a request from a publisher or from an affected individual), write to privacy@goodnewsapp.app saying so and we will prioritise it. Our AI pipeline applies safety filtering to prevent hateful, violent, sexual, or defamatory content; reports help us catch failures.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and without prejudice to your rights as a consumer under mandatory EU and Spanish law (in particular, the Spanish General Law for the Defence of Consumers and Users, "TRLGDCU"):

Where the law says we cannot exclude certain liability (for example, gross negligence, wilful misconduct, personal injury, or consumer-protection rules), that liability remains in force regardless of anything to the contrary here.

8. Service Availability

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

We may:

Where these changes materially affect you, we will give reasonable advance notice inside the App (for example, on the home screen or in the daily digest content itself), consistent with our policy of not using push notifications for non-digest purposes (see Privacy Policy §12).

9. Modifications and Termination

We may modify, suspend, or close the Service when necessary for technical, legal, or viability reasons. Save in cases of imminent risk to other users or to the service, we will give you at least 7 days' notice and, where applicable, an opportunity to remedy any issue before suspension takes effect. If we permanently close the Service, we will delete the associated personal data (push token, country code, preferred hour) in line with the Privacy Policy.

You can stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. To also delete the backend data, use "Delete my data" in Settings (see Privacy Policy §10).

10. Privacy

The processing of your personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy, provided in accordance with GDPR Article 13. Read it before using the App.

11. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, 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. This is the case regardless of anything else in this clause. 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, in addition to court proceedings, may use the alternative-dispute-resolution bodies accredited by the Spanish Ministry of Consumer Affairs (list at consumo.gob.es) and the Consumer Arbitration Boards (Juntas Arbitrales de Consumo), in line with Law 7/2017 implementing Directive 2013/11. (The former EU Online Dispute Resolution platform ceased operations in July 2025 and is no longer available.)

12. Apple- and Google-Specific Provisions

When you download the App from Apple App Store or Google Play:

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect legal, technical, or service changes. When we do:

Continuing to use the App after the new version takes effect means you accept the changes. If you do not agree, you may uninstall the App.
