Last updated: February 11, 2026

Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using Areazine (areazine.com), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our website.

Description of Service

Areazine is an automated news aggregation and summarization service that transforms publicly available government data into readable news articles. We aggregate data from official U.S. government sources including the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

AI-Generated Content Disclosure

Important: Articles on Areazine are generated using artificial intelligence (AI) technology. While every article is based on official government data and undergoes automated quality validation, the transformation from raw data to readable article is performed by AI. This means:

  • Articles may contain AI-introduced inaccuracies in phrasing, context, or interpretation
  • Articles are not written or reviewed by human journalists
  • The original government source data is always linked for verification
  • Articles should be considered summaries of official data, not authoritative reporting

We strongly recommend that readers verify critical safety information by consulting the original government source linked at the bottom of every article.

Not Professional Advice — Not an Emergency Service

Content on Areazine is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute:

  • Professional medical, legal, financial, or safety advice
  • Official government communications or emergency alerts
  • A substitute for official recall notices or safety warnings
  • Emergency notification or early warning services

In any emergency, always call 911 or your local emergency number. Do not rely on Areazine for emergency information. Our content may be delayed from the original government publication by minutes to hours.

Independence from Government Agencies

Areazine is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to any U.S. government agency. All article content is derived from publicly available data published under federal open data policies. Government agency names and data are used for attribution purposes only. Their inclusion does not imply endorsement.

Accuracy and Timeliness

While we strive for accuracy, we make no guarantees regarding:

  • The accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any article
  • Whether our articles reflect the most current government data
  • The accuracy of AI-generated summaries and interpretations
  • Whether all relevant safety information is included
  • The availability or uptime of our service

Government agencies may update, revise, or retract their data at any time. Our articles reflect data as it existed at the time of generation and may not reflect subsequent updates.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Areazine and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to:

  • Personal injury, property damage, or financial loss resulting from reliance on our content

  • Inaccuracies, omissions, or errors in AI-generated content
  • Actions taken or not taken based on information on our website
  • Interruptions, delays, or failures in service
