Source Removal Requests

LexFeed wants relationships with local publishers to be positive, and part of that is making it easy to leave. If you are a publisher, rights-holder, or someone affected by a listing, you can ask us to remove a source or delist specific items. This draft policy explains how.

What you can request

• Removal of an entire source or feed from LexFeed.
• Delisting of specific items or URLs.
• Removal for privacy reasons, described below.

Publisher opt-out

We honor robots.txt directives and publisher opt-outs. If your site signals that it does not want to be crawled or indexed, or you simply ask us to stop pulling from your feed, we will comply. You do not need to justify the request.

Privacy-based removal

If a listing raises a genuine privacy concern, you may request removal even if you are not the publisher. Tell us which item is involved and why, and we will review it with care.

What to include

To help us act quickly, please provide:

• The source or publication name.
• The specific feed URL, or the URLs of the items to delist.
• Your relationship to the content or source.
• The reason for the request.
• Contact information for any follow-up.

How to request removal

Send your request to [operator removal contact] with the details above.

Process and timeline

LexFeed is run by a solo developer and we commit to acting promptly. We will acknowledge your request, confirm the details if needed, and remove or delist the content as soon as we reasonably can. For clear opt-outs and robots.txt signals, removal is straightforward.
