Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information PRLab.uk collects, how we use it, and the rights you have over your data under UK data protection law.

Last updated: [DD Month YYYY] Effective date: [DD Month YYYY]

Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes the policies of [PRLab.uk Ltd, company number XXXXXXXX], of [registered UK address] ("PRLab.uk", "we", "us", "our"), on the collection, use and disclosure of your information when you use our website (prlab.uk) and our UK press release distribution services (the "Service"). You can contact us at hello@prlab.uk or [+44 phone number].

By accessing or using the Service, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not consent, please do not access or use the Service.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy, so we recommend reviewing this page periodically.

Information we collect

We collect and process the following categories of personal information about you:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Company name and job title
  • Content you submit for UK press release distribution (release copy, quotes, assets)
  • Billing and payment details, processed via our payment provider

How we use your information

We use the information we collect about you for the following purposes:

  • Providing and delivering UK press release distribution services you've requested
  • Communicating with you about your enquiry, order or account
  • Marketing and promotional communications, where you've consented to receive them
  • Improving our website and UK distribution service
  • Meeting legal, accounting and regulatory requirements

If we want to use your information for any other purpose, we will ask for your consent and use it only once received, unless otherwise required by law.

How we share your information

We do not transfer your personal information to any third party without your consent, except in the limited circumstances below:

  • With UK media outlets and journalists, where necessary to distribute a release you've submitted to us
  • With analytics and website-service providers, solely to operate and improve our Service
  • With payment processors, solely to process your order

Any third party we share data with is required to use it only for the purpose it was provided, and not retain it longer than necessary. We may also disclose your information: (1) to comply with applicable law, regulation, court order or legal process; (2) to enforce our agreements with you, including this Privacy Policy; or (3) to respond to claims that your use of the Service violates a third party's rights. If PRLab.uk is merged with or acquired by another company, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

Retention of your information

We retain your personal information for as long as needed to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, and typically for [90 days to 2 years] after your account is closed or your last interaction with us, unless a longer period is required for legal, accounting or regulatory reasons, fraud prevention, or enforcement of legal rights. Anonymised or aggregated information that no longer identifies you may be retained indefinitely.

  • Restrict or object to our processing of your data

  • Withdraw any consent you've previously given
  • Lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)

To exercise any of these rights, write to us at hello@prlab.uk. We will respond in accordance with applicable UK law. Note that if you don't provide certain information, or withdraw consent for its use, we may not be able to provide the parts of the Service that depend on it.

ICO complaints: You have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK's Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk if you believe your data has been mishandled.
