Privacy & Legal

Copyright
All formats, layouts, and concepts of Pressrank.com are protected by U.S. and/or foreign copyright laws and belong to Pressrank.com. The copyrights of news content are owned by the media affiliate that is making its RSS feed publicly available. You are prohibited from using any of the marks or logos appearing throughout Pressrank.com without permission from the trademark owner, except as permitted by applicable law. Pressrank.com reserves complete title and full intellectual property rights on all aspects of this site. You may use the Service, the Site, and the information, writings, images and/or other works that you see, hear or otherwise experience on the Site solely for your non-commercial, personal purposes. No right, title or interest in any Content is transferred to you, whether as a result of downloading such Content or otherwise.

Use of Site
Pressrank.com provides this online privacy and legal statement to make you aware of our policies, practices, and of the choices you can make about the way information is collected and disseminated. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and affiliates web pages. We want to make it clear that we will not obtain personal identifying information about you when you visit our web sites unless you choose to provide such information to us. Except in the course of officially authorized law enforcement investigations, or in the event of a suspected attempt to deliberately circumvent our system's security with the intent to gain unauthorized access or to do physical damage, we do not attempt to identify individual users or share any information we receive with any parties outside of Pressrank.com.

Accuracy of Content/Liability
All news content presented on Pressrank.com is directly issued from the listed news source whose RSS feed is displayed on our site. They and they alone are responsible for the statements, information, and news issued via their RSS feed. Neither Pressrank.com, nor any of their employees, or subcontractors, make any warranty, express or implied, nor assume any legal liability or responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information. Some data and information accessed through these pages may be preliminary in nature. This data and information are provided with the understanding that they are not guaranteed to be correct or complete. Users are cautioned to consider carefully the provisional nature of these data and information before using them for decisions that concern personal or public safety or the conduct of business that involves substantial monetary or operational consequences. Conclusions drawn from, or actions undertaken on the basis of such data and information are the sole responsibility of the user.

Web Bugs & Web Server Activity Logs
Monthly extracts of the log files are archived and stored off-line at our discretion for an indefinite period of time. Some statistical summaries derived from these data may be retained online or off-line at our discretion for an indefinite period of time. We reserve the right to use electronic transparent GIFs that allow us to track general user traffic patterns. Pressrank.com also automatically receives and records information from our servers and from your browser, including your IP address, the time, and information about the page you requested. Pressrank.com also collects domain information as part of its analysis of the use of this site. This data enables us to become more familiar with visitors to our site, how often they visit, and what parts of the site they visit most often. Some of our affiliates use third-party companies to serve their advertisements on our sites and, in some cases, in our HTML-formatted newsletters. Often, these third-party advertising companies employ cookie and Web bug technologies to measure advertisement effectiveness. We do not give any personally identifiable information to them as part of this relationship. Use of their tracking technology is subject to their own privacy policies.

Cookies
Pressrank.com does not use cookies.

Online Surveys
Personal information is only collected via our contact form. Pressrank.com will not transfer your personal information to third parties without your consent. We make every effort to provide and maintain accurate, complete, usable, and timely information on our web sites.

Document Retention
As a standard operating procedure Pressrank.com does not store any contents online that it does not employ on a daily basis. If there is no business reason to keep a document and no legal obligation to retain it on our portal, it can be removed without notice from our servers. At such time as these documents are no longer required to be maintained, Pressrank.com will purge those documents to facilitate the efficient maintenance of Pressrank.com’s file space and electronic network storage capacity and to control overhead costs associated with document storage. Although not always made accessible online, information collected via online surveys may be maintained at our discretion for an indefinite period of time as many projects have timelines that surpass an individual company’s retention policy. Company affiliation with Pressrank.com does not imply that their retention policy is the same as ours.

Third Party Linkage
All links external of Pressrank.com maintain their own privacy policies that may be viewed on their Web sites. Links to third party web sites beyond Pressrank.com are provided solely as a convenience to you. If you use these links, you will leave Pressrank.com. Pressrank.com has not reviewed all of these third party sites and does not control and is not responsible for any of these sites, their content or their privacy policies. Thus, Pressrank.com does not endorse or make any representations about them, or any information, software or other products or materials found there, or any results that may be obtained from using them. If you decide to access any of the third party sites linked to this site, you do so at your own risk.

Changes to this Statement
Pressrank.com reserves the right to amend this policy without notice. If we make any substantial changes in the way we use your personal information we will make that information available by posting a notice on this site. When we do, we will also revise the "last updated" date at the top of the Privacy Statement. For material changes to this Privacy Statement, we will notify you either by placing a prominent notice on the home page of our Web site or by directly sending you a notification. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Statement to stay informed about how we are protecting the personal information we collect. Your continued use of the service constitutes your agreement to this Privacy Statement and any updates.
