PR Newswire Association LLC ("PR Newswire" or "we") creates privacy policies to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy for those who use our web sites. Please read the following statement to understand the privacy practices for the "PR Newswire for Journalists" web site. Other PR Newswire web sites may be governed by privacy practices and the privacy policies posted on them.

What information is collected about you.

During registration for the PR Newswire for Journalists site, we ask you to provide your name, the name of the news organization with which you are affiliated (if any), your email address, and other information about your professional responsibilities.

What "cookies" are and how they are used.

Our logs automatically collect certain information, which can be associated with registered users, notably IP address and time and date of access. We use other standard internet technologies including cookies. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive.

How information about you is used.

We use the information we collect about you to provide and to improve our services to journalists and to member companies and to let you know about other services, which may be of interest to you.

We also provide reports to member companies about interest in their releases, including both aggregate statistics and, for each release, more detailed information, identifying the media organization and the country of the individual who accessed the material. We do not provide your name or any other information about you as part of these reports.

With whom that information may be shared.

We do not otherwise disclose information about you to third parties except with your consent at the time, in response to a subpoena or other court process, if we reasonably believe it is necessary to protect lives or our own network, or in the case of an acquisition of all or a portion of our assets.

Access and your choices.

You may review and update your registration information at any time by visiting the My Info page.

You may use tools available through your browser to reject or delete PR Newswire for Journalists cookies. You will still be able to use the service, but will need to provide a username and password each time you visit the web site.

Security Measures

We use reasonable security measures to protect your data while it is stored on our servers or is in transit from our servers to servers under our control. When you send us your information, it is transmitted over the Internet to our servers. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, PR Newswire cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
