Takedown / Content removal

OutbreakWatch publishes summaries of public news, official health-authority statements, and prediction market data — always with a link back to the original source. If you believe a piece of content on this site:

• infringes your copyright,
• is factually incorrect,
• is outdated,
• or that you (or your organization) want it removed for any other reason,

we want to hear from you and we will respond promptly.

How to submit a request

Email takedown@outbreakwatch.net with:

1. The exact URL on outbreakwatch.net of the page or item you want addressed.
2. A short description of the issue (copyright, factual error, etc.).
3. If a copyright claim: identification of the copyrighted work and proof of ownership/authorization.
4. Your name and a contact email. (We do not require a postal address.)

What happens next

• Within 24 hours we acknowledge receipt.
• Within 72 hours we either remove/correct the item or explain why we believe the content is appropriately attributed and within fair-use / quotation rights.
• For obvious cases (broken citations, dead URLs, duplicates) we just remove without back-and-forth.

News aggregation philosophy

We publish:

• News headlines (a few words)
• 1-2 sentence summaries (paraphrased, not extracted)
• A link back to the original source
• For non-English sources: an AI-translated headline + summary, with the original kept visible

We do not republish full articles, images, or paywalled content. If your publication has a stricter content policy, let us know and we will adjust or remove.

Opt-out from indexing

If you operate a publication and want OutbreakWatch to stop fetching your RSS or referencing your articles altogether, email takedown@outbreakwatch.net and we will add your domain to our exclusion list.
