Stay updated on automated access policies that impact content utilization.
Topics covered
In the current digital landscape, safeguarding the integrity of content is essential. News Group Newspapers Limited has established stringent measures to protect our material from unauthorized automated access. This article details our policy on automated behavior detection and provides steps to take if issues arise.
Overview of our automated access policy
Our system monitors user interactions with our content. When it detects patterns resembling automated behavior, it triggers a warning indicating potential misuse. Such actions include data mining, web scraping, or any form of automated collection that is not explicitly permitted.
These restrictions are outlined in our terms and conditions, which are crucial for maintaining the quality and security of our services.
What constitutes automated behavior?
Automated behavior refers to actions executed by software or bots rather than human users. This includes systematic requests for content or attempts to gather data rapidly.
Such behavior can inadvertently disrupt our services, prompting the necessity for these measures. If you believe you have been misidentified as an automated user, it is important to understand how our system differentiates between legitimate and automated access.
Dealing with access issues
If you receive an error message indicating that your access has been flagged as automated, there are steps you can take to resolve this matter. First, consider your browsing habits. Are you utilizing any automated tools or plugins that might trigger our warnings? If you are a genuine user and your actions have mistakenly raised flags, we encourage you to contact our support team.

Commercial use of our content
If you are interested in using our content for commercial purposes, we have a specific protocol in place. Automated collection for such uses requires prior permission. For inquiries regarding commercial licensing or other uses of our material, please contact [email protected]. We value partnerships that adhere to our policies and are eager to explore legitimate avenues for content sharing.
Our commitment to protecting our content is evident in our policies against automated access. We recognize that our system may sometimes misinterpret user behavior, and we are here to help clarify any issues you may encounter. Ensuring a seamless user experience while maintaining the integrity of our content remains our top priority.
