Snacks uses fair use under U.S. copyright law (17 U.S.C. § 107) to display limited previews of online content.
These previews consist of headlines, short descriptive snippets, and thumbnail images (often sourced from a website's own Open Graph or similar metadata tags such as og:image). They are provided solely to help users discover and navigate to the original sources.
This use is transformative: it improves access to information on the web without substituting for the original articles or images. Previews are low-resolution/small in size, always accompanied by clear attribution to the source, and include prominent links that direct users back to the publisher's full content on the original website (web or mobile). This practice aligns with longstanding precedents for search engines, news aggregators, and link-sharing platforms.
We respect copyright owners' rights and respond promptly to valid DMCA takedown notices. Publishers may also contact us directly if they prefer their content not be previewed.
Snacks respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA"), we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the Snacks service that are reported to our designated agent.
If you believe content available on Snacks infringes your copyright, please send a written notice including:
If you believe your content was removed in error, you may submit a counter-notice with the same elements above plus a statement consenting to jurisdiction of your local federal court.
