+title: We have news now!
+---
+Hi there,
+here is something new: News!
+
+These news items will automatically show up for all admins in the **homepage** as the *lowest* category (starting with the next minor release **0.7.0**).
+If you do not want to see them there you can **disable** the function in your user-settings. There is also the option to disable news globally in the general server settings.
+
+### But why?
+The good news first: We will **not** spam you with this function daily.  
+It is more of a tool to *communicate* with the *power users* and *admins*. There is wide array of reasons for the dev-team to want to communicate with you.  
+For example when we
+- are looking for inputs on new big, roadmap worthy FRs
+- want to show you a cool show-and-tell as an inspiration
+- have security advisories (please also follow releases - we always try to push new releases as fast as possible)
+- are planning to depreciate a function and want to gauge if there are still users
+
+### How does it work?
+Like the update-checks we are using the infrastructure GitHub provides.  
+While the checks use the GitHub APIs, news are gathered from an **RSS-feed** that is served via **GitHub Pages**. The Jekyll-based website generates through a **GitHub Action** and then passes the **static output** to Pages, where it gets hosted for free (thank you GitHub) and delivered through CDNs worldwide.
+On your InvenTree instance the **background worker** loads the RSS-feed on a regular basis and creates **entries** for the news items and **notifications** for all applicable users.
+
+### And my data?
+As listed above we are using GitHub pages for this feature. We are not introducing additional trackers to that so the [general InvenTree privacy statement](https://inventree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/privacy/) applies.  
+The short version: we **do not sell your data** or share it with third parties. We cannot guarantee what readthedocs and GitHub do with the metrics. We might use them as a metric for the stats section of the site. However, we get very little *actionable* information from that, a screenshot of the total info available is shown below.
