These terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Lamu News. We may amend these terms at any time by posting the updated version on our website.

2. Description of Service

Lamu News is an aggregated news platform that collects stories from public RSS feeds, parses the article text, and utilizes artificial intelligence models to offer bias analyses, sentiment scores, and media coverage breakdowns.

The Service provides personalization features (a curated "For You" feed based on preferences you designate) and lists media blindspots representing topics covered disproportionately across different media spectra.

3. AI Analysis Disclaimer

Important Notice regarding AI Estimates

All political framing percentages, bias labels, sentiment scores, neutral summaries, and load terms provided by the Service are strictly AI-estimated evaluations. They do not represent objective, absolute truth or established fact. AI model analysis is subjective, mathematical, and intended solely to guide readers in evaluating media framing. We do not endorse any specific political viewpoint or guarantee the correctness of the generated insights.

4. External RSS Feeds & Publishing Rights

Lamu News aggregates titles, descriptions, and feature images from third-party publisher RSS feeds. We link directly back to the original source article for full content reading.

We are not responsible for the contents, opinions, accuracy, or availability of external publisher websites. The ownership and copyright of aggregated headlines and images belong strictly to the respective original publishers.

5. User Accounts & Security

You may log in to personalize your feed. We use Clerk for secure user account authentication and session token verification.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and all activities occurring under your account. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your login tokens or account credentials.
