Prezly (“Prezly”, “we”, “us”, “the Company” and terms of similar meaning) provides online software, which can be used to manage and reach out to the Customers’ contacts (media relations, social influencers, internal contacts). It allows the Customer to publish stories online and email these stories to their contacts.

The contacts can visit specially designed Press Rooms created by the Customer but hosted by Prezly. This means Prezly collects both personal data and non-personal data, not only from its Customers, but also from Customers’ contacts who visit the Press Rooms.

Personal data means any personal information that could identify you as a customer and you as a visitor of the Customers’ Press Room, directly or indirectly, including but not limited to first and last name, date of birth, email address, occupation or other demographic information as well as behavioral data such as the opening of an email and clicking links in an email received from Customer through Prezly.

Non-personal data means any information that doesn’t allow us to identify you as a customer or you as a visitor of the Customers’ Press Room, but that allows us to provide the best possible service to our Customers. This includes information such as, but not limited, how and when you use the service, which browser you use, etc.

This section describes our policies for users of the Prezly homepage (https://www.prezly.com) and Prezly Backend (https://rock.prezly.com), Prezly Customers, and corporate partners.

Cookies are identifiers transferred to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and tell us how and when pages in our Press room are visited and by how many people. Like most internet sites, Prezly uses cookies to enhance our visitors’ and customers’ experience on the internet.

Our service automatically collects usage information, such as the numbers and frequency of visitors to our site and its components. As mentioned above, this data is only used in the aggregate and to improve our services for Customer purposes.

This type of collective data enables us to figure out how often users use different parts of the site and services. In addition, we may provide statistical collective user information, not identifiable information about the Customer, to our partners so that they understand how often people use specific components of our site and services.

Email and in-app communications

Prezly will communicate with you about its services by email. You consent to receiving such emails or via In-App messages. If you contact us via email through the site, we may retain a record of your contact information and any information you provide us in your message to respond to you.
