For publishers

GpodzBot

GpodzBot reads the headline feeds and news sitemaps that publishers offer, so our assistant can point people to your reporting with your name and a link.

What it collects

The headline, the publisher name, the link, and the time it was published.
Nothing else: no article text, summaries, or images.
Headlines are kept for about 48 hours, then deleted.

How we use it

We show the headline with your name and a plain link to your page, so readers go to you.
Links go to your page as you serve it. We add no tracking parameters, never frame your page, and never get around a paywall.
We do not train models on your headlines or your articles.

How it behaves

It identifies itself as GpodzBot in its user agent, with a link to this page.
It follows your robots rules for its name, reads only the feeds and sitemaps you publish, and fetches at a modest rate.

How to limit or stop it

Add these lines to your robots.txt to stop GpodzBot on your whole site:

User-agent: GpodzBot
Disallow: /

Or email team@gpodz.com with your domain. We stop collecting and remove your headlines.
