How does pr.co protect personal information?

The security of your personal information is of paramount important to us. We maintain a variety of appropriate technical and organizational safeguards to protect your personal information. We limit access to personal information about you to employees who we believe reasonably need to come into contact with that information to provide products or services to you or in order to do their jobs. Further, we have implemented reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards designed to protect personal information about you. When you enter sensitive information (such as your password), we encrypt that information in transit using industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption technology. No method of transmission over the Internet, method of electronic storage or other security methods are one hundred percent secure. Therefore, while we strive to use reasonable efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Which personal data is collected from people who access or browse our newsroom domain?

By default only log data on the server (which is only collected for maintenance/security purposes). If the visitor also subscribes to receive your news updates then they must knowingly provide us with their name, email address, job title, country, city and phone number.

What cookies are placed on my newsroom domain?

None. We track your visitors anonymously, eliminating the need for cookies or collecting personal data. Also, we exclusively process visitor data on servers owned and operated by European companies—this data never leaves the EU. You own 100% of your website data, which won’t be shared or sold to third parties.

Does pr.co share information with third parties?

We do not sell, trade, share or transfer your personal information to third parties except in the following limited circumstances:

  1. We may share your personal information with our parent companies, subsidiaries and affiliates;

  2. We may share your personal information with third-party service providers to permit such parties to provide services that help us with our business activities, which may include assisting us with marketing, advertising our product/service offerings, or providing, maintaining and improving the features and functionality of the Offerings, among other things. For example, we may provide personal information to our service providers for direct emailing of our newsletters or notifications of our product/service offerings;

  3. We may share your personal information when we have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to (a) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request, (b) enforce a Customer Agreement, including investigation of potential violations thereof, or (c) protect against imminent harm to our rights, property or safety, or that of our users or the public as required or permitted by law;

Chargebee may use your Payment Information in accordance with their own Privacy Policy here: https://www.chargebee.com/privacy/.
