Alethia's Position

Alethia is a reader application — it does not host, store, or distribute any copyrighted content. The app functions as a client that connects to user-configured hosts.

To reiterate on this stance:

• Alethia does not provide default sources or hosts
• Users are responsible for the hosts they choose to connect to
• No content is bundled with or served by the Alethia application itself

Additionally, whenever adding a new host to Alethia, users must acknowledge three terms before proceeding:

1. Third-party content — Alethia does not host or control any third-party content accessible through hosts
2. Regional availability — Content availability varies by region and may change at any time
3. Personal responsibility — The user is ultimately responsible for any hosts and content they choose to access

---

Content Concerns

If you have concerns about content available through a specific host:

1. Contact the host operator directly — They control what content is accessible through their service.
2. Contact the upstream source — Many hosts aggregate content from third-party sources who handle their own DMCA processes.

Alethia cannot remove content from hosts as we do not operate them.

DMCA Requests

Content Hosted by Third Parties

Alethia does not host, cache, or store any user-accessible content. As such, DMCA takedown requests for content accessed through Alethia should be directed to the appropriate party:

• The host operator — The server operator providing the content through their host
• The upstream source — The original content provider where the host retrieves content

Alethia has no technical capability to remove, modify, or restrict access to content served by third-party hosts.
