Topics covered
In the current digital environment, protecting content is essential. Users must adhere to specific guidelines regarding automated access to our services. Our systems have detected that your recent activity may be interpreted as automated, which violates our policies.
At News Group Newspapers Limited, we enforce strict rules that prohibit the use of automated tools for accessing, collecting, or mining our content.
This includes practices associated with data scraping, AI, and machine learning. These regulations are clearly stated in our terms and conditions.
Understanding the automated access policy
Sometimes, our system misinterprets legitimate user actions as automated behavior. This can occur due to various reasons, such as unusual interaction patterns on our website.
If you believe this may apply to you, please contact our support team for clarification.

Commercial use of our content
For those interested in the commercial use of our materials, we have set up a clear channel for inquiries. If you wish to explore the possibility of utilizing our content for business purposes, send your requests to [email protected]. We look forward to discussing potential collaborations while ensuring compliance with our policies.
Why these restrictions matter
The restrictions on automated access are designed to protect the integrity of our content. Content security is crucial for maintaining the value of our journalism and ensuring that our audience receives accurate and well-researched information. By preventing unauthorized access, we can protect our intellectual property.
Additionally, these measures help preserve the quality of the user experience on our platform. Allowing automated systems to scrape data without regulation can degrade service for legitimate users. We strive to create a welcoming environment for everyone who engages with our content.
While we recognize the necessity of certain automated tools in the digital age, we must enforce strict boundaries to protect our content and users. We appreciate your understanding of our policies and look forward to your cooperation.
