© 2026 Right News India. All Rights Reserved.

Nothing on this website should be interpreted as transferring any copyright, licence, ownership interest, or other intellectual property right to a visitor unless Right News India has provided clear written permission.

2. Facts, Ideas and Original Expression

Right News India does not claim ownership over facts, general information, public records, ideas, events, or matters already available in the public domain.

However, our original expression and presentation of information—including the wording, structure, reporting, research, selection, arrangement, headline, analysis, photograph, video, graphic, and compilation—may be protected by copyright and other applicable intellectual property laws.

The availability of factual information from another source does not automatically permit the copying of an article, photograph, video, headline, infographic, or other original material created or published by Right News India.

3. Permitted Personal Use

Visitors may access and read content on RightNewsIndia.com for personal, private, and non-commercial purposes.

You may:

• Use sharing buttons provided on the website.

Any quotation must be reasonable, relevant to the intended purpose, and accompanied by clear attribution to Right News India and a working link to the original article.

Permitted personal use does not grant the right to republish complete articles, copy substantial portions of content, reproduce original photographs, or commercially exploit our material.

4. Uses Requiring Prior Written Permission

Prior written permission from Right News India is required before you:

• Republish a complete article or a substantial part of an article;

• The name Right News India;
• The title of the original article, where practical;
• The name of the author or photographer, if displayed;
• A direct and working link to the original page;
• The original publication date, where relevant.

Attribution does not replace the requirement to obtain permission when the proposed use exceeds legally permitted quotation, fair dealing, or another applicable exception.

Content must not be copied and rewritten through minor word changes, automated paraphrasing, spinning tools, or artificial intelligence systems in order to conceal its original source.

7. Search Engines, News Aggregators and Indexing

Right News India permits legitimate search engines to crawl and index publicly available pages in accordance with our technical instructions, robots.txt settings, and applicable website controls.

Search engines and news aggregators may display limited information such as:

• Article titles;
• Short extracts or snippets;
• Publication dates;
• Author information;
• Thumbnail images;
• Direct links to the original article.

This permission does not authorise the reproduction of complete articles, full-resolution media, substantial text, or content displayed in a manner that replaces the need to visit RightNewsIndia.com.

Right News India may restrict, modify, or withdraw crawler access where a service republishes excessive material, disregards technical instructions, misrepresents the source, or causes harm to the website.

8. Artificial Intelligence and Automated Content Use

Right News India does not grant unrestricted permission for its content to be copied, extracted, stored, analysed, reproduced, or used by artificial intelligence systems, machine-learning models, automated publishing systems, content generators, or commercial datasets.

Unless authorised in writing, users and automated systems must not:

• Collect complete articles for AI training datasets;
• Generate competing articles substantially derived from our reporting;
• Use automated paraphrasing to republish our work;
• Create synthetic audio, video, or images that falsely appear to originate from Right News India;
• Use our branding or content to impersonate our journalists or organisation;
• Commercially license datasets containing our protected content.

Normal search indexing and limited lawful analysis may be subject to applicable law and our technical access controls.

• Used with permission;
• Used for reporting, criticism, review, public-interest journalism, or another lawful purpose.

Copyright ownership may remain with the original photographer, agency, creator, organisation, or licensor.

A credit displayed with an image or video does not give visitors the right to copy, download, reproduce, edit, distribute, or commercially use that material.

Requests relating to a specific photograph, video, graphic, or other media item should identify the exact page URL and the relevant material.

10. Third-Party Content

Right News India may publish or link to material owned by third parties, including:

• Licensed photographs;
• Public-interest material;
• Advertisements and sponsored content;

Third-party content remains subject to the rights and terms of its respective owner.

The presence of third-party material on RightNewsIndia.com does not mean that Right News India owns it or can grant permission for its reuse. Users seeking permission should contact the relevant copyright owner.

11. Embedded and Linked Content

Right News India may provide links to external websites or embed content from social networks, video platforms, official portals, and other third-party services.

Embedded or linked content remains governed by the copyright policies, privacy policies, and terms of the platform or original publisher.

A link or embed does not necessarily indicate endorsement, sponsorship, partnership, or ownership by Right News India.

12. Fair Dealing and News Reporting

Right News India recognises that applicable copyright law may permit limited use of copyrighted material for purposes such as:

• Reporting current events;
• Criticism or review;
• Research;
• Education;
• Commentary;
• Judicial or official proceedings;
• Other legally recognised purposes.

Any such use should be limited to what is reasonably necessary, accompanied by appropriate acknowledgement where required, and assessed according to the facts and applicable law.

This policy does not restrict any use that is expressly permitted by applicable law. It also does not expand any legal exception beyond what the law allows.

13. User-Submitted Content

Users, contributors, photographers, writers, and organisations may submit text, photographs, videos, documents, press releases, comments, or other material to Right News India.

By submitting material, the sender confirms that:

• They created the material or have authority to provide it;
• The submission does not knowingly infringe another person’s copyright;
• Required permissions and consents have been obtained;
• The material is not unlawfully copied, manipulated, or misrepresented;
• Publication will not violate an existing agreement or legal obligation.

Unless separately agreed in writing, the sender grants Right News India a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to review, edit, reproduce, publish, translate, distribute, archive, promote, and display the submitted material through our website, social media accounts, and related publishing channels.

The contributor may retain ownership of the original work unless copyright has been assigned under a separate written agreement.

Right News India may decline, edit, remove, or discontinue the use of submitted material at its editorial discretion.

14. Freelancers and Contributors

Copyright ownership and usage rights relating to material produced by freelance journalists, photographers, videographers, columnists, and other contributors may be governed by a separate assignment, licence, employment agreement, or contributor arrangement.

Nothing in this public policy overrides the terms of a valid written agreement between Right News India and a contributor.
