This document explains which sources Nedion crawls and how, what it does with the content, and how a rights holder can have content removed. It is written for source institutions, press publishers and rights holders.

1. Nedion's crawler

Nedion crawls under two identities; neither hides itself:

• NedionSourceBot/1.0 (+https://nedion.org/contact) — for official institution sources.
• NedionBot/1.0 (+https://nedion.org/bot; news aggregation) — for commercial press publishers.

Both crawlers obey robots.txt. For commercial publishers, machine-readable text and data mining (TDM) reservations (ai.txt, TDM headers) are checked and stored as well; if a publisher has opted out through them, that source is not crawled. The reservation check is refreshed regularly; an opt-out added later is applied at the next check.

Crawling is polite: limited requests per source, use of ETag/If-Modified-Since, size and time limits. The crawler does not pose as a browser and does not read a site with a certificate error "anyway".

2. What is done with the content

Nedion treats two kinds of source under two different regimes:

2.1 Official institutions (public domain / official publications). Central banks, regulators, official gazettes, ministries, exchange disclosure systems. Their publications are official texts meant to inform the public. Nedion summarises them, translates them into three languages and publishes them always with a link to the source.

2.2 Press publishers (copyright-protected). For commercial news sites Nedion produces factual synthesis only: it briefly states in its own words what the report says, links to the source, and does not copy the text. The source's raw text is deleted from the server once processing is done; only Nedion's own summary remains. Full text, images or paywalled content are never republished.

Under both regimes raw documents are kept for 90 days at most (rejected ones 7 days), used only for processing and never for training a language model.

3. Legal basis

7StockApp OÜ is established in Estonia. Official publications of public bodies fall outside copyright protection under § 5 of the Estonian Copyright Act (autoriõiguse seadus); similar exceptions exist in most jurisdictions. For press publications Nedion relies on the text and data mining exception of Directive (EU) 2019/790 as implemented in § 19¹ of the Estonian Copyright Act, and honours the machine-readable opt-out that exception is conditional on; it also produces only short factual summaries and links. This assessment is Nedion's own view and does not remove a rights holder's right to object.

4. Notice and takedown

If a source or rights holder does not want its content to appear on Nedion:

Step 1 — Notice. Write to [email protected]. It is enough to state: which card(s) (Nedion link) or which source (site address); the basis of your claim (you are the rights holder or their representative); your contact details. No formal form is required.

Step 2 — Interim removal. On receipt of a notice, the card(s) concerned are taken down within 2 working days at most and stay hidden during review. API customers are notified of the removal.

Step 3 — Decision. Review is completed within 10 working days at most. If the removal is confirmed, the source is marked "takedown requested" and never crawled again; this is recorded at source level.

Step 4 — Reply. We inform you of the outcome in writing. If a request is refused, reasons are given and you are told before the content goes back online.

For notices that appear to be in bad faith or not from a rights holder, Nedion may ask for a counter-notice and identity verification.

5. Permanent opt-out (no crawling)

You can block crawling without sending a notice:

• In robots.txt: Disallow: / for User-agent: NedionBot or User-agent: NedionSourceBot.
• A TDM reservation: ai.txt or a TDM-Reservation: 1 header.

These signals are applied at the next check (within a few days at most). For something faster, a single line to [email protected] is enough.

6. User comments

Comments on Nedion belong to their users. If you believe a comment infringes your rights, notify the same address; the periods in Section 4 apply to comments too. The in-app "Report" button drops a notice directly into the moderation queue.

7. Governing language

This policy is written in English. Turkish and Spanish translations are provided for convenience only; if a translation differs from the English text, the English text prevails.
