Terms of use

The service

Connect the Dots (connectthedots.news) is a free news site run by the publisher of Connect the Dots. It maps people, events, places and organizations in the news and links each detail to the published report it comes from. By using the site you agree to these terms.

Accuracy and allegations

We summarise published reporting and cite it on every detail. Reports can be wrong or change, so always check the linked source for anything important. Allegations and claims are labelled as such and are not findings of fact; money claims carry a status (alleged, offered, pledged, denied or confirmed). Nothing on the site is legal, financial or investment advice.

Using our content

• You may link to any page and quote short extracts with a link back.
• Our summaries, data and network pages belong to Connect the Dots; please ask before republishing them in bulk.
• Photos are not ours: each is used under its own free licence and credited under the image and on theImage credits page. Reuse them under those licences.
• The linked news articles belong to their publishers.

Acceptable use

Don't try to disrupt the site, overload it with automated requests, or use it to harass people named in the news. Reasonable automated access that respects robots.txt is fine.

Corrections and complaints

If something is inaccurate, out of date, or unfair to someone named, tell us through the details on the About page. We review every request and correct the page itself. For personal data requests, see the Privacy policy.

Other websites

We link to news sources, Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap and our support page on Patreon. We're not responsible for their content or how they handle your data.

Limits of responsibility

The site is provided as is. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for losses arising from use of the site or reliance on its content. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer or data protection law.

Law

These terms are governed by the laws of India. We may update them and will change the date above when we do.
