Last updated: April 10, 2026. This Privacy Policy explains how Winston News Wire ("Winston", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and safeguards information when you use our press release distribution platform, websites, and related services (collectively, the "Services").
We collect information you provide directly to us when you create an account, publish a release, contact our newsroom team, or subscribe to our newsletter. This includes your name, work email, company name, job title, billing information, and any content you submit for distribution.
We also automatically collect certain information when you use the Services, including IP address, browser type and version, device identifiers, pages visited, referring URL, and timestamps. We use cookies and similar technologies to support these functions.
Press releases you publish are distributed through our newsroom network and are intended to be public. Beyond that, we do not sell your personal information. We share information only with service providers who help us run the Services (hosting, payments, analytics, email delivery), when required by law, to protect the rights and safety of Winston or our users, or in connection with a corporate transaction such as a merger or acquisition.
We use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, analyze platform usage, and measure release performance. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling them may affect some features of the Services.
We retain account information for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period afterwards for compliance, dispute resolution, and audit purposes. Published press releases remain on Winston's public newsroom indefinitely unless you specifically request removal. Billing records are retained for the period required by applicable tax and accounting law.
Depending on your location, you may have rights under laws such as the GDPR (European Union / United Kingdom) and the CCPA (California) to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected]. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.
We apply industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit and at rest, least-privilege access controls, audit logging, and regular third-party security reviews. No system is perfectly secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Winston operates globally. Your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries other than the one in which you reside. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses to protect your data when transferred internationally.
The Services are intended for business users and are not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date and, for material changes, notify you through the platform or by email. Continued use of the Services after the update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
