Terms & Legal

RaajjeViyu brings Maldives news from many outlets into one place, with the key numbers beside it. It is made by Navatha.

We are not a news outlet. We do not write, edit or check the reports we link to. Each headline opens its story page here, and the small Source link beside it takes you to the outlet that published it.

By using RaajjeViyu you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

• The site is free to read, for your own use. You may share a link to any page.
• Do not try to break the site, overload it, get around its limits, or collect it in bulk. The RSS feeds are there for following the news.
• Do not use the report forms or the chat to send anything unlawful, abusive or misleading.
• We may change, pause or stop any part of the site at any time, without notice.
• The site is offered “as it is”. We try to keep it correct and running, but we give no promise that it is complete, current or free of errors. To the extent the law allows, Navatha is not responsible for loss that comes from relying on anything on the site.

Headlines open the story page on this site, and each item carries a small Source link to the original publisher. We show the headline, a short summary and the key numbers and facts we find in each report, never the whole article.

The reports belong to the outlets that wrote them. Their names and marks belong to them, and showing a report here does not mean the outlet backs RaajjeViyu or RaajjeViyu backs the outlet. If you publish a report we link to and have a concern about it, write to us (see Contact).

We group reports about the same event by the words in their headlines. The match can be wrong, so a card may join two different events or miss a report that belongs with it. A story with one outlet only means we have found one among the outlets we watch. It is not proof that others did not report it. We do not rate outlets or call a story true or false.

The weather on the Today page is a weather model’s estimate for Malé from Open-Meteo (CC BY 4.0). It is not a report from the Maldives Meteorological Service, so use the Service’s warnings and forecasts for anything that matters.

Links to other websites are for your convenience. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for them.

Atoll outlines: geoBoundaries, from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Islands: geoBoundaries, traced from Sentinel-2 imagery (CC BY 4.0). Buildings and roads: Overture Maps, from OpenStreetMap contributors, Microsoft, Google and Esri Community Maps (ODbL). Island and building names come from the Geomatics Department’s island list and the street data above.

The map is drawn for orientation, not for navigation. The shade shows how much the news names a place: counts use the places each story is tagged with, once per event, and say nothing about how important or how safe a place is. The key numbers are the figures the stories report.

Summaries and key numbers are extracted by AI from the article text and can contain errors — check the source. Every key number and event comes with the sentence it was taken from, checked word for word against the article, so you can read it in context and open the original.

Where we use AI, and where we do not:

• Reading articles. An AI model reads each article to write the summary and to find the numbers, events, places, sectors, topics and promises in it. The article text is sent to an AI service provider for this. It is not shown on this site.
• Checking scores. A second AI model scores some items (for example, whether two headlines are one event, or whether a quoted sentence supports a number). Its scores can be wrong too. Where a score is used to hide an item or join two stories, that can be wrong as well.
• Tone. The tone of coverage on the Analysis page, counted by sector, topic and place, is an AI model’s reading of the writing. It is a guess, not a measure of how things are, and it says nothing about any person, party or outlet.
• Pages found by words. Coming up, Notices, Rules and changes, Budget watch, Parliament, Public voice, the week in brief and Numbers in the news are picked by fixed rules from the words in headlines, summaries and extracted facts. No AI writes them. A rule can include something that does not belong, or miss something that does, so check the source. A date is shown only when the news names one single day.
• Maps and tags. Places are found by matching names against the official island list. A place named only once in the body of a report is kept as a tag but not counted on that place’s page. The map shades places by how many stories mention them. It shows attention, not how big or how bad anything is.

Money figures are shown as the report wrote them. We do not add them up, convert them or compare them across outlets.

The official statistics are copied as published by the Maldives Monetary Authority and Statistics Maldives. They are not written by AI. The publisher is always the source, and a published figure can be revised by the publisher after we copy it.

The street dollar rate is a crowd’s report. It averages what visitors to usdmvr.com say they were offered. It is not an official or bank rate, and it can be wrong or old. Use the official rate where the law or a bank asks for it.

Sunrise and sunset for Malé are calculated. Check the Maldives Meteorological Service for official times.

Promises are found in the news by an AI model. Some are checked by a person before they are shown, and some are shown automatically after a second AI model scores them as likely to be real. A few are entered by a person from an official source.

A promise changes status only when a report gives the exact words that show it, and those words are shown on the page. Steps marked “Added automatically” were added without a person reading them first. A “Broken” status always needs a person. The reason under a step is the model’s own reading.

“Overdue” and “nothing new” are worked out from dates. They are not a finding that anyone failed. A status is a summary of reports, not a ruling on what anyone did or meant. Tell us if one is wrong (see Reporting a mistake).

Viyu is an AI guide. It answers using only the stories on this site, links each one to its story page here, and gives a Source link to the outlet that published it. AI can get things wrong: check the outlet before relying on a number.

Some answers come as cards that are filled from the site’s own data, such as the dollar rate. The AI does not write the figures in those cards.

Your question is sent to an AI service provider to be answered. Questions are logged to improve the service and to keep the chat fair (see Privacy). Do not put personal details in a question. The number of questions each visitor can ask is limited.

RaajjeViyu is for information. Nothing here is financial, investment, legal, medical or professional advice. Check the original report or the official source before you decide anything that matters.

There are no accounts, no adverts and no tracking scripts. Fonts and files are served from this site, not from other companies.

• In your browser only. Your light or dark choice and your “My place” choice are saved in your own browser, not on our server. Your light or dark choice is never sent to us. When you open your saved place, the place is in the address of the page you ask for (?place=), the same as when you pick a place on the map.
• Cookies. A security cookie protects the forms (reports and chat) from forgery. If you use the chat, a session cookie is set so we can count your questions against the limit.
• Chat. We keep your question, the answer, any rating you give, the time, a session identifier, and a scrambled code made from your connection address. We do not keep the address itself, and we do not ask who you are.
• Reports. A report form keeps the kind of mistake and the words you type, with the time. It asks for no name or contact. Please do not write personal details in it.
• Server logs. Like most websites, the hosting may keep ordinary logs of requests (address, time, page) for security and to keep the site running.
• AI providers. Article text and chat questions are sent to AI service providers to be read. We send them nothing else about you.
• Sharing. We do not sell your information. We share it only where the law requires.

To ask what we hold or to ask us to remove something you sent, write to us (see Contact).

Found something wrong? Every story page has “Report a mistake”, and so does every promise. A report changes nothing on the site by itself. A person reads it before anything is fixed.

RaajjeViyu is made by Navatha. Contact details will be added here. Until then, use “Report a mistake” on a story page.

We may change these terms. The date at the top shows when this page last changed. Using the site after a change means you accept the new terms.
