  • Create and maintain a trusted and safer environment.

  • Complying with Law, Responding to Legal Requests, Preventing Harm, and Protecting our Rights. These disclosures may be necessary to comply with our legal obligations, for the protection of a person's vital interests, for reasons of substantial public interest, or for the purposes of PressBeyond's or a third party's legitimate interest in keeping the Service secure, preventing a breach of the law, harm or crime, enforcing or defending legal rights, claims, or obligations, facilitating the collection of taxes and prevention of tax fraud, or preventing loss or damage.

  1. YOUR RIGHTS

If you reside in the UK or EEA you benefit from a number of rights. You can exercise any of the rights described in this section consistent with applicable law by contacting us by email at privacy@pressbeyond.com or at PressBeyond LLC, Legal Privacy, 3304 Jean Circle, Tampa, FL 33629 USA.

4.1 Data Access and Portability

You have the right to request certain copies of your personal information held by us. In certain instances, you also have the right to request copies of personal information that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and/or request us to transmit this information to another service provider (where technically feasible).

4.2 Rectification

You have the right to ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information about you (which you cannot update yourself within your PressBeyond account).

4.3 Erasure

We generally retain your personal information for as long as is necessary for the performance of the contract between you and us, to comply with our legal obligations, and as permitted by applicable law.

You have the right to ask us to delete your personal information, subject to certain limitations and restrictions. Please note that if you request the erasure of your personal information:

  • We may retain your personal information as necessary for our legitimate business interests, such as prevention of money laundering, fraud detection and prevention, and enhancing safety. For example, if we suspend a PressBeyond account for fraud or safety reasons, we may retain information from that account to prevent that user from opening a new PressBeyond account in the future.

  • We may retain and use your personal information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations. For example, PressBeyond may keep your information for tax, legal reporting, and auditing obligations.

  • Some copies of your information (e.g., log records) will remain in our database, but are disassociated from personal identifiers.

  • Because we maintain the PressBeyond Service to protect against accidental or malicious loss and destruction, residual copies of your personal information may not be removed from our backup systems for a limited period of time.

    4.4 Withdrawing Consent

If we are processing your personal information based on your consent you can withdraw your consent at any time by changing your account settings or by sending a communication to PressBeyond specifying which consent you are withdrawing. Please note that the withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing activities based on such consent before its withdrawal.

4.5 Restriction of Processing

You have the right to limit the ways in which we use your personal information, in particular where (i) you contest the accuracy of your personal information; (ii) the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of your personal information; (iii) we no longer need your personal information for the purposes of the processing, but you require the personal information for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; or (iv) you have objected to the processing pursuant to Section 4.6 (below) and pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of PressBeyond override your own.

4.6 Objection to Processing

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal information based on grounds specific to your situation if such processing is for direct marketing, or is for a purpose based on a legitimate interest or public interest. If you object to processing based on legitimate or public interests we will no longer process your personal information for these purposes unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for such processing, or where the processing is otherwise required for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Where your personal information is processed for direct marketing purposes, you may, at any time, ask PressBeyond to cease processing your data for these direct marketing purposes by sending an e-mail to privacy@pressbeyond.com.

4.7 Lodging Complaints

You have the right to lodge complaints about our data processing activities by contacting us at PressBeyond LLC, Legal Privacy, 3304 Jean Circle, Tampa, FL 33629 USA, or by email at privacy@pressbeyond.com, or with your local supervisory authority.

  1. RETENTION

We retain personal information for as long as needed or permitted in light of the purpose(s) for which it was obtained and consistent with applicable law. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include:

  • the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide the Service to you (for example, for as long as you have an account with us or keep using the Service);
  • whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject (for example, certain laws require us to keep records of your transactions for a certain period of time before we can delete them); and/or
  • whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position (such as in regard to applicable statutes of limitations, litigation, or regulatory investigations).
  1. OPERATING INTERNATIONALLY

To facilitate offering the Service internationally we may transfer, store, and process your information in our corporate headquarters in the United States of America or within our family of companies, partners, and service providers based in the UK, Europe, India, Asia Pacific and North and South America. Laws in these countries may differ from the laws applicable to your country of residence. In certain circumstances, courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies or security authorities in these other countries may be entitled to access your personal information.

Some of these countries are subject to a European Commission adequacy decision. For other countries, measures have been taken pursuant to applicable data protection law, such as standard contractual clauses to protect this personal data.

If your information is processed or shared outside the EEA, we have (prior to processing or sharing your information) established the necessary means to ensure an adequate level of data protection. This may be an adequacy decision of the European Commission confirming an adequate level of data protection in the respective non-EEA country or an agreement on the basis of the EU Model Clauses (a set of clauses issued by the European Commission). We will provide further information on the means to ensure an adequate level of data protection, such as a copy of the EU Model Clauses, on request.
