YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
In order to provide the Pressburst service, Pressburst requires your name, email address and basic contact details.
We collect this when you register for the service, or if you contact us for technical support, or if a
colleague adds you as a secondary user to the service. We require this information in order to provide you
with access to the Pressburst system, to provide technical support, and to manage your account.
INFORMATION FROM OTHERS
You are able to invite other people to use the Pressburst service. By doing so, you warrant that that you
have their permission and that Pressburst may use any information you provide on their behalf in order to
provide them with the Pressburst service, in accordance with our Terms and
Conditions and this Privacy Policy.
As part of your usage of Pressburst, you are able to upload news, jobs and events information which may
contain personal details, including names and photographs of other individuals. As outlined in our Terms and Conditions, it is your responsibility to ensure that
you are legally permitted under data protection law to upload any personal data to Pressburst (including
data relating to children) and have sought all necessary licences, consents and permissions, in accordance
with the Pressburst Terms and Conditions and this Privacy
Policy.
When you upload information to Pressburst, you do so as an Authorised User on behalf of the Customer (who is
normally your employer organisation). Data you upload, such as news stories, job vacancies, events, press releases
and press contacts, can be viewed, edited and deleted by other Authorised Users in your organisation. As outlined in 6.1 of the Terms and Conditions, the
Customer shall be responsible for any Authorised User's acts or omissions in connection with the Services.
WHAT WE COLLECT
When you use Pressburst to upload or manage content, we collect standard internet log information (including the
type of web browser being used to access Pressburst and the operating system) along with geo-location, as we –
through our subprocessors – collect and process the IP address of all devices which use our services. We do this
in order to be able to provide technical support and to perform analysis on the use of Pressburst in order to
compile aggregated statistics. Some aspects of your use of Pressburst will be linked to your login ID which enable
us to provide support and identify errors with the system. We also do this in order to identify Authorised Users
whom we may contact to recommend further use of – or ways to improve use of – the Pressburst service.
When you publish content from Pressburst we also collect data on how often it is viewed on Pressburst and/or
our Channel Partner websites and/or via our widgets, portals and API. This data collection enables us to monitor
usage patterns, improve the service and provide technical support.
