DMCA & Content Takedown Policy
Legal
Last updated: March 2026
HeyHomees is a news aggregation platform that displays headlines and short excerpts from publicly available RSS feeds, linking back to the original publisher. We respect the intellectual property rights of all content creators and publishers. This page explains how to request content removal.
How HeyHomees Handles Third-Party Content
HeyHomees aggregates content from publicly available RSS feeds. For each story, we display only:
- The headline as published in the RSS feed.
- A short excerpt (typically 1-2 sentences) as provided by the RSS feed.
- Source attribution linking to the original article on the publisher's website.
We do not reproduce, store, or redistribute full article text, images, or other copyrighted media. Users are directed to the original publisher to read the full content.

What Happens After You File
We will acknowledge receipt of your notice within 2 business days.
We will review the notice and, if valid, remove or disable access to the identified content promptly.
