Editorial and AI-Generated Content Disclaimer

1. What this document is for

This disclaimer explains, as clearly as possible, how the content of GUAY.news is produced, what role artificial intelligence (AI) plays in that process, what human checks are in place, what the limits of what we publish are, and what we are and are not responsible for. It applies to all editorial content we publish on the website guay.news, in the GUAY.news mobile app for iOS and Android, in the «Las 7 de las 7» newsletter and on our social media profiles and channels.

GUAY.news is owned by WEBSITESYSEO S.L., tax ID (CIF) [pending], [pending], with registered address at Calle Antonio Rosón 1, 27002 Lugo (Spain) (email: info@websitesyseo.com; telephone: 982 990 610). The editor-in-chief and person with editorial responsibility for the publication is Fredi Mosteirín. For any editorial matter you can write to info@guay.news.

This document supplements, and should be read together with, the Terms and Conditions of Use, the Intellectual Property and Sources Policy, the Community and Comment Guidelines and the Privacy Policy. We want it to be useful, not merely formal, so we also explain the reasons behind each point.

2. What GUAY.news is and what it is not

GUAY.news is a Spanish-language digital newspaper devoted exclusively to good news: «the newspaper for people who don’t want to make their lives miserable». We publish a daily edition at 7:00 (Madrid time), with updates at 13:00 and 19:00, organised into the sections everyday heroes, health, science, useful technology, environment and animals, society and solidarity, sport, culture and education, «the world is getting better» and curiosities.

It is important that you know from the outset what GUAY.news is not:

• It is not a primary source of information. We have no correspondents, we do not conduct interviews, we do not attend press conferences and we do not investigate events ourselves. We do not produce the facts: we select them from among those already published by other media outlets and rewrite them.
• It is not an outlet that reproduces other media. We do not copy, translate or summarise original articles sentence by sentence. We take the facts and data they contain and write a new story, with our own wording and our own headline.
• It is not an advisory service. We do not give medical, healthcare, psychological, legal, financial, tax, technical or any other professional advice.
• It is not a complete picture of reality. As an editorial decision we only publish good news. That does not mean that everything else does not exist (we explain this in section 12).

3. Where our stories come from: our sources

All our stories start from information previously published by third-party media outlets: news agencies, general-interest newspapers, regional and local press, specialist media (science, health, technology, environment, sport, culture) and good-news outlets, from Spain and around the world. We also use open aggregation sources, such as the GDELT project and Google News RSS feeds, to locate information published by those outlets.

Our commitment to our sources is firm:

• We always credit the original outlet and link to its story. Every GUAY.news piece includes, at the foot, the words «Original source» with the name of the outlet and a link to the story it is based on, so that you can read it, check it and judge for yourself.
• We never use the photographs, videos or graphics of the original outlet.
• We only use short verbatim quotations where necessary (for example, a few words from a researcher), in quotation marks and attributed to the person who said them and to the outlet that reported them.
• We respect the wishes of media outlets. Any outlet may ask us to correct, change the attribution of or remove a story, or to stop using it as a source, through the «I am a media outlet» procedure described in the Intellectual Property and Sources Policy.

The quality of our stories depends, first and foremost, on the quality of our sources. That is why we give priority to outlets with a recognised track record and discard information whose origin cannot be identified. Even so, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of what third parties publish (see section 14).

4. How each story is produced, step by step

We believe you have the right to know exactly how what you read is made. This is the complete process as it works today:

1. Collection. Every morning, an automated system reads thousands of headlines and summaries published in the RSS feeds of hundreds of media outlets, as well as GDELT and Google News RSS. Our crawler publicly identifies itself as GUAYnewsBot/1.0 (+https://guay.news/bot), complies with each site’s robots.txt file and with text and data mining reservations expressed by rightholders, and makes no more than one request per second to each domain. At this stage only headlines and summaries are read, not full articles.
2. Classification. An AI model classifies those headlines: it decides whether the item is good news, which section it would belong to and whether it touches on any of the topics excluded by our editorial line (politics, war, crime and incidents, violence, negative economic news, religion, sex or gossip).
3. Selection. Between 40 and 60 finalists are selected from all the headlines, taking into account their interest, their positive character, thematic variety and the reliability of the source.
4. Access to the full text, for finalists only. The full text of the original article is downloaded only for those finalists. That text is stored encrypted, used exclusively for internal verification, never published and automatically deleted after 30 days. Raw headlines are deleted after 7 days.
5. Fact extraction. An AI model extracts from the original article a list of objective facts and data: what happened, who, where, when, with what figures and according to whom.
6. Writing. A different AI model writes the GUAY.news story from scratch, in Spanish, based solely on that list of facts. This writing model does not see the original text: this prevents it from copying, translating or paraphrasing the source outlet’s wording, and the resulting story is a new creation in our style and with our headline.
7. Automated verification. A third AI model, different from the other two, compares the draft story with the list of facts and with the original text in order to detect errors, wrong figures, statements not found in the source, exaggerations or improper textual overlaps. Stories raising doubts are flagged and placed in a priority review queue.
8. Human review and approval. In the current operating mode, which is the default mode, no story is published without the express approval of a member of the editorial team. That person reviews the text, headline, section, source and illustration, may correct, rewrite or discard the piece, and decides whether it is published.
9. Publication. The story is published in the corresponding edition (7:00, 13:00 or 19:00) with the label «Produced with the help of AI» and the source credit described in section 5.
10. 72-hour monitoring and unpublishing. For the 72 hours following publication, an automated monitor checks whether negative developments or denials emerge (for example, a study being retracted or a fact turning out to be false). If that happens, the story is unpublished and, where appropriate, we say so.

This design pursues three aims: that the text is genuinely ours and not a copy of the original outlet’s; that an error made by one model can be detected by a different model; and that there is always a person answerable for what is published.

If we materially change this process in future (for example, if any category of content ceased to require individual human approval), we will update this document before applying the change and state it clearly.

5. What the «Produced with the help of AI» label and the credit line on each story mean

All GUAY.news stories visibly carry the label «Produced with the help of AI» (in Spanish, «Elaborada con ayuda de IA») and, at the foot, the following credit line:

«Original source: [name of outlet] · Written by the GUAY.news newsroom with the help of AI and reviewed», with a link to the original story.

Specifically, this means that:

• the facts come from the outlet credited, not from GUAY.news’s own reporting;
• the text you are reading was drafted by AI systems within the process described in section 4;
• the text was reviewed and approved by a member of the editorial team who, together with the editor-in-chief, takes editorial responsibility for its publication;
• you can always go to the original through the link to find out more or check the information.

The label does not mean that the outlet credited took part in producing our story, reviewed it or endorses it. Nor does it mean that the AI «decided» to publish: that decision is always taken by a human.

When we reproduce a story in the newsletter, in the app or on social media, we keep the reference to the source and the indication that the content was produced with the help of AI to the extent the format allows, and always with a link to the full story on guay.news, where the complete credit line appears.

6. Transparency and the European Artificial Intelligence Act

Article 50(4) of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (the Artificial Intelligence Act) provides that anyone using an AI system to generate or manipulate text which is published with the purpose of informing the public on matters of public interest must disclose that the text has been artificially generated or manipulated. This obligation has applied since 2 August 2026.

Article 50(4) itself provides for an exception: the obligation does not apply where the AI-generated content has undergone a process of human review or editorial control and a natural or legal person holds editorial responsibility for its publication. That is exactly our case: every story is reviewed and approved by a member of the team, and WEBSITESYSEO S.L. and its editor-in-chief, Fredi Mosteirín, hold editorial responsibility.

Even so, we always disclose, voluntarily and transparently, that our stories are produced with the help of AI. We do so because we believe it is the honest thing to do, because it is what we would expect as readers and because trust is the most valuable asset a news outlet has. This information is provided in a clear and distinguishable manner, at the latest when you access the content, by means of the «Produced with the help of AI» label, the credit line on each story and this document.

As regards images, Article 50(4) also requires disclosure that images constituting «deep fakes» are artificial, that is, content that resembles existing persons, objects, places or events and would falsely appear to be authentic. Our illustrations do not seek to depict real people or scenes (see section 7), but we label them as AI-generated all the same. Article 50(2), for its part, requires providers of generative AI systems to mark their outputs in a machine-readable format; where the tools we use embed such marks or metadata, we do not intentionally remove them.

The AI providers we work with, and the processing of personal data this entails, are set out in the Privacy Policy. We undertake that users’ personal data (for example, the text of a comment to be moderated) will only be sent to providers offering adequate safeguards under the General Data Protection Regulation, and that providers without such safeguards will process only public journalistic content from media outlets.

7. Images: AI-generated illustrations

The images accompanying our stories are of two kinds:

• Editorial illustrations generated with AI in the GUAY.news visual style. They are created specifically for each story, without identifiable real people, without logos or brands and without text. They are labelled «AI-generated illustration».
• Photographs from freely licensed image banks, published with the attribution required by their licence.

Please bear in mind the following:

• We never use the original outlet’s photos, nor images taken from social media or other websites without permission.
• Illustrations do not depict the real people in the story. If a story is about a particular nurse, scientist or child, the figure in the illustration is imaginary, is not that person and is not intended to resemble them.
• Illustrations do not document the facts. Their purpose is aesthetic and to set the scene. They do not show the real place, the real object, the specific animal or the actual moment of the story, and must not be taken as evidence of anything.
• Illustrations may contain visual inaccuracies typical of AI (for example, unrealistic anatomical, technical or geographical details). Such inaccuracies are not part of the information.

If you believe an illustration resembles a real person closely enough to identify them, reproduces a protected work or is offensive or confusing, let us know at info@guay.news or through the story’s «Report an error» form, and we will review or replace it as a priority.

8. The limits of artificial intelligence and how we mitigate them

AI is a powerful tool, but it is not infallible. We want you to know the specific risks involved and what we do to reduce them.

Risk	What it involves	How we mitigate it
Factual errors	The model may misunderstand a fact or mix up two pieces of data.	Prior fact extraction, writing solely from those facts, verification by a third, different model and human review.
«Hallucinations»	The model may invent a figure, quotation, name or conclusion not found in the source.	The verifying model checks each statement against the source; anything not in the source is removed. The human reviewer checks quotations and names.
Figures and units	Percentages, dates, sums of money or units of measurement may be transcribed or converted wrongly.	Figures are treated as discrete facts during extraction and are specifically verified.
Nuances lost in translation	Many sources are in other languages; a nuance, irony or technical term may be lost or distorted.	Faithfulness to the facts takes priority over style; in case of doubt the more cautious wording is chosen and the original is linked.
Exaggeration	A tendency to present a preliminary advance as definitive («cures», «wipes out»).	Cautious writing guidelines, especially in health and science (see section 9).
Lack of context	An isolated piece of good news may not reflect the wider context of the matter.	Link to the original source and 72-hour monitoring to detect negative developments or denials.
Textual similarity to the source	The text reproducing fragments of the original wording.	The writing model does not see the original; the verifier detects improper overlaps.
Bias	Models may reproduce biases present in their training data.	Human review and an inclusive, respectful style guide.

None of these measures eliminates the risk entirely. There may be errors, and when there are we will correct them following the procedure in section 11.

9. Health: nothing we publish is medical advice

Stories in the health section, and any other health information we publish, are provided for information and general-interest purposes only. They are not medical advice, they do not replace diagnosis or treatment by a healthcare professional and they must not be used to make decisions about your health or anyone else’s.

Please pay particular attention to the following:

• Always consult a professional. If you have any doubts about your health, a symptom, a treatment or a medicine, talk to your doctor, pharmacist or another qualified healthcare professional.
• Many advances are preliminary. A good share of health stories concern initial studies, early-phase clinical trials, studies with small samples or work not yet reviewed by other scientists. A promising result may not be confirmed later, and it may take many years for a treatment to become available, if it ever does.
• Results in animals or in the laboratory are not results in humans. What works in mice, in cells or in computer simulations often does not work the same way in human beings.
• Do not self-medicate, and do not change, stop or start a treatment because of something you have read on GUAY.news, however hopeful the story may be.
• A treatment approved in another country may not be authorised or available in Spain, or may be subject to different conditions of use.
• Individual experiences we report (a person who recovered, an exceptional case) cannot be generalised.
• In an emergency, call 112. If you are having suicidal thoughts, or know someone who is, you can call 024 free of charge in Spain, the suicidal behaviour helpline, available 24 hours a day.

When writing health stories we try to state the phase of the study, whether it was carried out in animals or in humans, the sample size where the source provides it and the scientific publication concerned. If you come across a health story that could be misleading, we would be especially grateful if you let us know.

10. Science, technology, personal finance, sport and consumer matters: not advice either

What has been said about health applies, with the necessary adjustments, to other subjects:

• Science: discoveries are reported as presented by their authors and by the source outlets; science advances through review and replication, and a result may later be qualified or refuted.
• Useful technology: mentioning an app, device or service is not a purchase recommendation or a guarantee of its security, availability, price or performance, all of which may change. Before installing or signing up for anything, do your own research.
• Personal finance: stories about grants, savings, employment or economic initiatives are for information only and do not constitute financial, tax or investment advice. GUAY.news is not an entity authorised to provide investment advice. Consult a professional or the official source (for example, the authority awarding a grant) before making decisions.
• Sport: data on competitions, records and results come from the sources credited and may be updated after our publication.
• Consumer matters: the appearance of a product, brand or business in a story does not mean that we recommend it or have a commercial relationship with it. Any advertising or sponsored content will always be identified as such (see section 13).
• Legal or administrative matters: where a story mentions a law, a right or a procedure, the information is general and may not apply to your particular case.

The decisions you make based on what you read on GUAY.news are yours. We encourage you always to go to the original source and, where the decision is important, to a professional.

11. There may be errors: right of reply, corrections and updates

We do our best not to make mistakes, but when we do, we acknowledge and correct them. You have several options, depending on what you want:

11.1. Reporting an error

Every story includes a «Report an error» button. Anyone can use it to tell us about a typo, incorrect data, a broken link, an incorrect attribution or an unsuitable illustration. The information does not need to concern you. We review every report and, if the error is confirmed, we correct it as soon as possible.

11.2. Right of reply (Organic Law 2/1984)

If a story published by GUAY.news contains facts that refer to you, which you consider inaccurate and whose dissemination may harm you, you are entitled to have them corrected under Spanish Organic Law 2/1984 of 26 March regulating the right of reply (derecho de rectificación):

• Your reply must be addressed to the editor-in-chief, Fredi Mosteirín, by a means that allows its date and receipt to be proven, within seven calendar days of the publication of the information. You can use the correction form above or write to info@guay.news.
• It must be limited to the facts in the information you wish to correct, must not be substantially longer than the original information and must identify the person exercising the right (or their representative).
• Where appropriate, we will publish the reply in full, free of charge, without comment or additions and with prominence similar to that of the information corrected, within three days of receipt, linked to the original story.
• If the reply is not published within that period, or if you are informed that it will not be published, you may bring an action for rectification before the Court of First Instance of your domicile or of ours within the following seven working days, under the terms of the law.

In addition, under Article 85 of Organic Law 3/2018 on the Protection of Personal Data and the Guarantee of Digital Rights (LOPDGDD), when we accept a reply we will publish a clarifying notice alongside the original information stating that it has been corrected.

11.3. Corrections policy

• Substantive errors (an incorrect fact, figure, name, attribution or conclusion): we correct the text and add a visible correction note at the end of the story with the date and a brief explanation of what has been changed. We do not silently delete the error.
• Minor typos that do not alter the meaning (a spelling mistake, a punctuation mark): we correct them without a note.
• Serious errors affecting the core of the story (for example, the positive fact turning out not to be true): we unpublish the story and, where it has been widely circulated, we explain this in a note.
• Where a correction affects a story sent in the newsletter or shared on social media, the correction is made in the story on guay.news, which is the reference version, and, if the error is significant, we also flag it on those channels where possible.

11.4. Updating information (Article 86 LOPDGDD)

If a story of ours concerns you and, owing to circumstances arising after its publication, it no longer reflects your current situation and this harms you, you may ask us, under Article 86 of the LOPDGDD, to add a sufficiently visible notice next to the story reporting that update. You can request this using the same form or at info@guay.news.

11.5. Timeframes and retention

We deal with error reports and correction requests as quickly as possible, and with replies within the statutory period indicated above. Requests, replies and notices received are kept for three years, as stated in the Privacy Policy.

12. Our good-news editorial line

GUAY.news only publishes good news: stories of people helping others, scientific and medical advances, useful technological solutions, environmental improvements, sporting and cultural achievements, and data showing that in many respects the world is getting better. «Only good news. Every day at 7.»

We want to be clear about what that choice implies:

• It does not mean that all is well with the world. Selecting good news is a legitimate editorial decision, just as a sports outlet chooses to cover only sport. We do not claim to offer a complete view of current affairs or to deny the existence of serious problems.
• We do not hide reality. We do not manipulate facts to make them look better: if a positive story has relevant nuances (the advance is partial, the problem still exists), we try to say so. If a piece of good news stops being good, we unpublish it.
• It complements, it does not replace. We encourage you to also keep informed through other general news outlets to obtain a complete picture of current affairs.

As an editorial criterion we exclude content about politics and party politics, wars and armed conflicts, crime and incidents, violence, negative economic news (crises, redundancies, bankruptcies), religion, sex and gossip or celebrity news. We also discard stories whose source we cannot identify, those depending on a single uncheckable claim, those presenting as positive facts that harm others and those that could contribute to disinformation, especially on health.

13. Editorial independence

13.1. From advertising

Editorial decisions (which stories are published, how they are told, in which section and with what prominence) are taken exclusively by the editorial team under the direction of Fredi Mosteirín, without any involvement by advertisers or sponsors. No advertiser can buy the publication, removal or amendment of a story. Any commercial, sponsored or advertising content is clearly and unambiguously identified as such, in accordance with Spanish Law 34/2002 on information society services (LSSI-CE), Law 34/1988 on General Advertising and Law 3/1991 on Unfair Competition, which prohibit covert advertising. GUAY.news does not accept political advertising. The full conditions are set out in the Advertising Policy.

13.2. From source outlets

We choose stories according to our own editorial criteria. The outlets we credit do not pay us to appear, nor do we pay them to credit them, and they have no influence over which stories we select or how we tell them.

13.3. No relationship with the outlets credited

Unless expressly stated otherwise, GUAY.news has no corporate, commercial or collaborative relationship with the outlets it credits. Crediting and linking to an outlet does not mean that the outlet supports, endorses, reviews or is aware of GUAY.news or our version of the story, just as crediting it does not mean that GUAY.news endorses that outlet’s other content, opinions or editorial line. The names and brands of media outlets are used solely to identify the source, as good journalistic practice and the law require.

14. What we are and are not responsible for

14.1. Our editorial responsibility

WEBSITESYSEO S.L., as owner of GUAY.news, and its editor-in-chief, Fredi Mosteirín, as the person with editorial responsibility, are answerable for the stories we publish under the terms laid down by law. The involvement of AI systems in drafting texts does not alter that responsibility: we do not hide behind AI. That is why prior human review exists and why we deal with replies and corrections.

14.2. Accuracy of the original sources

The facts we report come from third-party media. We apply the checks described in this document, but we cannot independently verify everything other outlets publish. We are not responsible for the accuracy, truthfulness or currency of information published by the original sources, nor for changes they subsequently make. If a source corrects or retracts a story and we detect this or are told about it, we will update or unpublish our story.

14.3. User comments

Comments are the responsibility of the people who write them and do not express the views of GUAY.news, which does not adopt them as its own. We moderate them in accordance with the Community and Comment Guidelines and, as regards illegal content, we are liable under the rules applicable to hosting service providers in Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (the Digital Services Act): we act diligently to remove or disable access to illegal content once we have actual knowledge of it.

14.4. Third-party links and content

Our stories contain links to third-party sites (mainly the original source) and, in some cases, embedded third-party content such as YouTube videos or social media posts. Such content and sites are not under our control, may change or disappear and have their own terms and privacy policies. In accordance with Article 17 of the LSSI-CE, we are not responsible for them unless we have actual knowledge that the activity or information to which they lead is unlawful or harms the property or rights of a third party and fail to act diligently to remove or disable the link. If you find a link to unlawful or unsuitable content, please let us know.

14.5. Your decisions

We are not responsible for decisions you make, or their consequences, based solely on the information published on GUAY.news, in particular on health, financial, consumer or legal matters, since, as explained in sections 9 and 10, our content is not professional advice.

14.6. Availability

We try to keep the service available and published on schedule, but delays, interruptions or technical failures (including failures by AI providers) may occur. Service availability is governed by the Terms and Conditions of Use.

14.7. Scope of these limitations

None of the limitations in this document excludes or limits our liability for damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence, for death or personal injury, or in any other case where the law does not permit such exclusion or limitation. Nor do they affect the rights granted to you by consumer protection legislation, which cannot be waived. If any provision of this document is held to be void, the remainder will remain valid.

15. Readers under 18

Our content is suitable for all audiences and does not include sexual or violent subject matter. Reading is open to everyone, but you must be at least 14 years old to register and comment. We recommend that parents and guardians accompany minors when reading health stories and remind them that such stories do not replace advice from a professional.

16. Changes to this document

We may update this disclaimer when our editorial process, the tools we use or the applicable law change. The version in force and its date always appear at the top of the document. If a change is significant (for example, in the degree of human involvement), we will highlight it prominently on the site and in the app.
