Accountability

Transparency is not an obligation for us. It's a choice. Here we explain the rules we follow and how you can reach us.

AI transparency

All summaries on ovr.news are generated by AI, primarily using open-source models running on our own hardware. For Dutch translations, article text may be sent to DeepL (EU-based) or Google Gemini (EU data processing). We use local open-source models when possible.

Each article shows an AI summary label. For Dutch articles, the translation service used is also indicated.

AI can make mistakes. That's why we always link to the original article, so you can verify. More about our process on How we work.

Sources and copyright

ovr.news collects news from public RSS feeds. We don't copy articles. Our AI creates original summaries in new words. The original remains the publisher's property. We always link to the source.

We respect paywalls and access restrictions. If a source blocks access, we accept that. Articles where we cannot retrieve sufficient content are excluded. We comply with the EU Copyright Directive's text and data mining opt-out mechanism (Article 4): publishers who block AI processing via robots.txt are respected.

For publishers: See our dedicated publisher information page for details on attribution, data processing, and how to opt out.

Images

Images on ovr.news come from four sources:

• Source images: The preview image (og:image) from the original article. We don't host these ourselves; your browser loads them directly from the source. If the source blocks this, the image disappears automatically.
• Wikimedia Commons: Freely available images under the CC BY-SA 4.0 license. Attribution is always shown.
• Unsplash: Images under the Unsplash license. Attribution is shown out of respect, although not required.
• Curated library: A collection of CC-licensed images we maintain ourselves, with attribution and license links.

Privacy

Data controller: Busara.eu, The Netherlands. For privacy questions, use our contact form.

Short version: We collect as little as possible. No cookies, no tracking, no ads. You are not a product here.

What we don't do

• No tracking cookies
• No personal data collection
• No advertisements
• No selling data to third parties
• No Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel

What we do

• Cloudflare: Our site is hosted via Cloudflare Pages. They process technical data (IP address) to secure and speed up the site. See their privacy policy.
• Article images: Thumbnail images are loaded directly from publisher servers. Your browser connects to those servers when displaying images.
• Local storage: Your theme preference (light/dark) is stored in your browser (localStorage). This never leaves your device.
• Article flagging: If you flag an article as irrelevant or commercial, we store the article ID and a timestamp. No personal data is collected. Flags are automatically deleted after 90 days.

Your rights

Under GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, or delete any personal data we hold, as well as the right to restrict processing, data portability, and to object. Since we collect almost no data, these rights rarely apply in practice. But they are yours. Use our contact form to exercise them. You may also file a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).

Open source

Our code is public. You can see exactly how everything works, from the selection algorithms to the translation pipeline.
