What the Aggregator Does

The Zirzoner News Aggregator collects headlines, snippets, and images from official publisher RSS feeds and presents them in a unified interface.

A Zirzoner account may be required to access the full features of the Aggregator, including following publishers, topics, and categories, and accessing additional articles.

The Aggregator does not display advertisements.

The Aggregator primarily provides links and limited publisher content for informational and discovery purposes. Full articles remain available on the original publisher websites.

Information We Do Not Collect

The Aggregator does not collect or monitor:

  • Your browsing history on external publisher websites
  • Which specific articles you read after leaving the Aggregator
  • Your activity on publisher websites
  • Interactions with third-party embedded content

When you leave the Aggregator and visit a publisher's website, your activity on that website is governed by the publisher's own privacy policy and terms.

Data Storage

Account information and feed preferences are stored on Zirzoner servers and databases as necessary to provide the Aggregator.

Technical logs may be retained for a limited period for security, operational, troubleshooting, and service-stability purposes.

Information is handled in accordance with the Zirzoner Privacy Policy.

Third-Party Publisher Content

The Aggregator displays content obtained from official publisher RSS feeds.

This may include:

  • Headlines
  • Article snippets or descriptions
  • Images
  • Publisher names and logos
  • Links to original articles

Third-party content remains the property of the respective publisher or other applicable rights holder.

Zirzoner does not claim ownership of third-party publisher content displayed through the Aggregator.

The Aggregator is intended to provide users with a convenient way to discover news and access the original publisher's website.

Content Accuracy

Publisher content is received through third-party RSS feeds and may be displayed substantially as provided by the publisher.

Zirzoner does not guarantee that third-party headlines, descriptions, images, or other information are accurate, complete, current, or appropriate.

Zirzoner does not manually fact-check or independently verify every item displayed through the Aggregator.

Zirzoner is not responsible for errors, omissions, misleading information, offensive material, or other content originating from third-party publishers.

The Aggregator may provide links to the original publisher websites.

When you select a news item, you may be redirected to the publisher's website to read the full article.

Once you leave the Aggregator, your interaction with the publisher's website is governed by that publisher's own privacy policy, terms of service, cookie policies, and other applicable rules.

Zirzoner does not control the content, availability, security, or privacy practices of external publisher websites.

Content Removal Requests

Publishers, copyright holders, or authorized representatives who believe that content displayed through the Aggregator should be removed may submit a removal request.

To help us process a request, include:

  • The specific URL or URLs of the content
  • The name of the publisher or rights holder
  • A description of the content
  • The reason for the removal request
  • Evidence of ownership or authorization, where applicable

Zirzoner aims to review valid removal requests within 5 business days.

Some publisher content or services may not be available in every country or region.

Service Availability

Zirzoner aims to keep the Aggregator available and operational, but availability cannot be guaranteed at all times.
