PR Network (“we,” “us,” “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you access or use our website, services, publishing tools, order systems, and any related pages or communications (collectively, the “Services”). By using PR Network, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
1. Scope Of This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to personal data processed through PR Network, including data collected from visitors, customers, partners, publishers, and users who submit content or place orders. It applies whether you interact with us through our website, email, forms, support channels, or any other method linked to the Services. This Privacy Policy does not cover third-party websites or services that may be linked from our platform. If you follow a link to a third party, their privacy practices apply.
2. Definitions
“Personal Data” means information that identifies you or could reasonably be used to identify you, either directly or indirectly, such as your name, email address, IP address, or account identifiers. “Processing” means any operation performed on Personal Data, including collecting, storing, using, sharing, analyzing, or deleting it. “Controller” means the party that determines the purposes and means of processing Personal Data. “Processor” means the party that processes Personal Data on behalf of a Controller.
3. Information We Collect
We collect information in three main ways: information you provide directly, information collected automatically, and information received from third parties.
3.1 Information You Provide Directly
When you interact with PR Network, you may provide Personal Data such as your name, business name, email address, phone number, country or region, and other contact details. If you create an account, we may collect account credentials and settings. If you place an order, we may collect billing information such as invoice details, billing address, order history, and payment status. If you submit content, we may collect the text you submit, images, URLs, anchor text, category selections, targeting preferences, and any instructions or briefs you provide. If you contact support, we collect the information you share in your message, including attachments, screenshots, or context needed to resolve your request. If verification is required for fraud prevention or compliance, we may collect business verification details relevant to that purpose.
3.2 Information Collected Automatically
When you use the Services, we may automatically collect technical and usage data. This may include IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, language preferences, time zone settings, referral URLs, pages visited, time spent on pages, clicks, scroll behavior, and interactions with features. We may also collect log data such as error reports, system activity, and security-related events. We may derive approximate location information from your IP address at a city or region level for analytics, security, and service optimization.
3.3 Information Received From Third Parties
We may receive information from third parties such as payment processors (transaction confirmations and payment status), analytics providers (aggregated performance insights), advertising partners (campaign performance signals), and communication tools (delivery status of messages). If you use third-party login methods, we may receive limited profile information necessary for authentication, depending on the provider and your settings.
4. Cookies And Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies (such as pixels, local storage, and device identifiers) to operate the Services, remember preferences, enhance functionality, analyze traffic, and support marketing activities where permitted. Some cookies are essential for the Services to function properly, including login and security cookies. Other cookies may be used for analytics to understand usage patterns, improve performance, and detect technical issues. Marketing cookies, where used, may support advertising measurement and interest-based promotion. You can manage cookie settings in your browser and may be able to block or delete cookies, but doing so may affect site features or functionality.
5. How We Use Your Information
We use Personal Data for the purposes described below, depending on how you use the Services.
5.1 Providing And Operating The Services
We process Personal Data to create and manage accounts, provide access to features, process orders, handle submissions, coordinate publishing or distribution activities, deliver purchased services, and communicate necessary updates related to your orders or account.
5.2 Communications
We use your contact details to send transactional messages such as order confirmations, service updates, security notices, and support replies. Where permitted, we may also send marketing messages about our services, feature updates, and offers. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe option in messages or by contacting us.
5.3 Personalization, Analytics, And Improvement
We process usage data to understand how users interact with PR Network, improve navigation and performance, enhance content relevance, troubleshoot issues, and develop new features. We may use aggregated analytics to assess campaign outcomes, platform demand, and service quality.
5.4 Security, Fraud Prevention, And Enforcement
We process Personal Data to secure the platform, protect accounts, prevent fraud and abuse, verify activity, detect suspicious behavior, enforce our terms and policies, and investigate potential violations. This may involve monitoring traffic, blocking malicious requests, rate-limiting certain actions, and verifying order legitimacy.
5.5 Legal Compliance
We may process Personal Data to comply with applicable laws and regulations, respond to lawful requests from authorities, protect legal rights, and maintain records required for tax, accounting, or audit purposes.
6. Legal Bases For Processing
Where required by law, we rely on one or more legal bases to process Personal Data. We process data to perform a contract when it is needed to deliver the Services you request, such as creating an account or fulfilling an order. We process data based on legitimate interests when it is necessary to secure the platform, prevent fraud, improve services, and understand platform usage, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights. We process data based on consent when you voluntarily opt in to marketing messages or non-essential cookies where required. We process data to comply with legal obligations when laws require us to retain or disclose certain information.
7. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your Personal Data as a standalone commercial product. We may share Personal Data in the limited circumstances described below.
7.1 Service Providers
We may share Personal Data with trusted vendors that help us operate PR Network, such as hosting providers, analytics services, payment processors, email delivery providers, customer support tools, and security services. These providers are permitted to process Personal Data only to perform services for us and are expected to protect it.
7.2 Publishing, Distribution, And Partner Networks
If your order or submission involves publishing, distribution, outreach, or placement services, we may share necessary information with publishers, editors, platform partners, or distribution networks to complete delivery. This can include your submitted content, brand name, target URLs, and related campaign instructions. Some publishing partners may display submitted content publicly, including attribution details you provide, depending on how the publication is configured.
7.3 Legal Requirements And Protection
We may disclose Personal Data if required by law, court order, or lawful governmental request, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect rights, safety, and security, investigate fraud, or respond to claims.
7.4 Business Transfers
If PR Network is involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, or sale of assets, Personal Data may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to appropriate protections and notice where required.
8. Public Content And User Submissions
Some content submitted to PR Network may be intended for public distribution, such as press releases, sponsored posts, media announcements, and related materials. If you choose to publish content through our Services, you acknowledge that the submitted material may become publicly accessible and may be indexed by search engines. You should avoid including sensitive personal information in submissions intended for public release unless you have a lawful reason and appropriate permissions to do so.
9. Data Retention
We retain Personal Data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and the reason it is processed. We may retain account and order records to meet contractual obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with legal, tax, and accounting requirements. We may retain logs and security data for shorter periods unless extended retention is required for investigation or legal compliance. Where possible, we may anonymize or aggregate data for analytics so it can no longer be linked to you.
10. Data Security
We implement technical and organizational security measures designed to protect Personal Data from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. Measures may include access controls, encryption in transit where applicable, secured infrastructure, monitoring, and limited internal access to Personal Data. However, no system can be guaranteed completely secure. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for using secure devices and networks when accessing the Services.
11. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights regarding your Personal Data. These rights may include the right to access Personal Data, request correction of inaccurate data, request deletion, object to certain processing, request restriction of processing, request data portability, and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. You may also have the right to opt out of marketing communications at any time. To exercise your rights, contact us using the details in the Contact section. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling requests, and we may deny or limit requests where the law permits or requires.
12. International Data Transfers
PR Network may process and store Personal Data in countries different from where you live. When we transfer Personal Data internationally, we take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place as required by applicable law, such as contractual protections and security measures designed to protect Personal Data during transfer and storage.
13. Children’s Privacy
Our Services are not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children. If you believe a child has provided Personal Data to us, contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
14. Marketing Preferences
If you receive marketing messages from PR Network, you can opt out at any time by using the unsubscribe link in the message or by contacting us. Transactional communications related to orders, security, or account administration may still be sent even if you opt out of marketing messages because they are necessary to provide the Services.
15. Third-Party Links And Services
Our Services may contain links to third-party websites, publisher pages, or partner platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties. You should review the privacy policies of any external websites you visit.
