Overview
Hudson Press helps individuals, entrepreneurs, executives, and businesses get seen and get covered. Trust is part of what we sell, so we take the handling of your personal information seriously. This policy walks through what we gather, why we gather it, and what say you have over it, no matter where in the world you are reading this from.
Hudson Press connects clients across a wide range of industries with media outlets, publications, and broadcast platforms and has secured coverage backed by 2,500+ clients served, 3,500+ media partner relationships, and 7,500+ published placements. That scale means we work with people located all over the globe, which is why this policy is written to hold up against several major privacy frameworks, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and comparable data protection laws in the other regions where our clients live and work.
Using our site or engaging our services means you are accepting the terms laid out below. If something here does not sit right with you, please stop using the site and reach out to us instead.
What We Gather
Two broad buckets of information come our way:
Information you hand to us directly
This happens when you fill out a form, book a call, sign up for updates, or become a client. Depending on how far along we are in working together, this might include:
- Your name and the company or brand you represent
- Email address and phone number
- Job title or role
- Payment and billing details
- Links or handles for your social profiles
- Campaign goals, story angles, and press materials you send us
- Supporting documentation you choose to share (for example, travel or visa paperwork tied to a placement)
Information collected automatically
When you browse hudsonpress.com, some data is logged without you typing anything in, such as:
- Device and browser details
- General location based on IP address
- Which pages you viewed and for how long
- The site or search engine that sent you our way
- Cookie and pixel data
On its own, this technical data does not identify you personally. We use it to understand how the site performs and where it can be better.
How We Put It To Use
Running your campaign
The core reason we hold your information is to actually do the work: pitching your story, coordinating placements, managing deadlines, invoicing you, and keeping you updated along the way.
Staying in touch
With your go-ahead, we may send newsletters, updates about new services, or notes on media opportunities that fit your goals. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can also opt out anytime by messaging us. Any third-party platform we use to send these emails is bound by its own privacy terms and, where the law requires it, a data processing agreement with us.
Making the website better
We look at aggregated, non-identifying usage patterns to fix what is slow, confusing, or broken, and to keep the site secure against misuse.
Cookies
Cookies are small files your browser stores so a site can remember who you are between visits. Hudson Press uses a few categories:
- Essential: keep the site functioning; turning these off breaks things
- Analytics: show us aggregate traffic and behavior patterns
- Marketing: help us measure how our campaigns are performing
Your browser settings let you block or clear cookies at any point. In regions where consent is legally required before non-essential cookies load, we ask for it first.
Who Else Sees It
We do not sell or rent your information. It only moves outside Hudson Press when:
- A vendor we rely on needs it to do their job, such as a CRM, payment processor, or hosting provider, and only under a confidentiality agreement
- A journalist, editor, or media partner needs it to execute a placement you have agreed to
- An accountant or lawyer needs it for professional reasons
- A court, regulator, or law enforcement body legally compels us to hand it over
- Protecting Hudson Press, our clients, or the public requires it
Any vendor handling personal data on our behalf is screened for data protection practices, and cross-border transfers follow the safeguards required under applicable law, including standard contractual clauses where GDPR applies.
Keeping It Safe
We use a mix of administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards, encrypted transmission, access restrictions, and periodic security checks, to guard your information against loss, misuse, or unauthorized access. No system connected to the internet is perfectly secure, so information is shared with us at your own discretion. If you ever spot something that looks like a security issue on our end, tell us right away.
How Long We Hold It
- Active client records stay on file for the length of the engagement, plus a reasonable window afterward for billing and compliance
- Inquiries that never turn into a client relationship are kept briefly, then deleted or anonymized
- Newsletter and marketing contacts stay on our list until you unsubscribe or ask us to remove them
- Financial and legal records are kept only as long as tax and regulatory rules in the relevant jurisdiction require
- Analytics data follows the retention schedule of whichever analytics tool we use
Outside Links
Our site sometimes links out to media outlets, partner platforms, or social profiles. Once you leave hudsonpress.com, that site’s own privacy practices apply, not ours, and linking to it is not an endorsement of how it handles your data.
Your Rights
Depending on where you are based, you may be able to:
- Ask what personal information we hold on you
- Correct anything that is wrong or outdated
- Request deletion, within the bounds of any legal retention duty
- Limit how we use certain data
- Receive your data in a portable, machine-readable format where GDPR applies
- Object to processing done for marketing or legitimate-interest purposes
- Withdraw consent you previously gave
- California residents: know what is collected, request deletion, and opt out of any sale. We do not sell personal information
To act on any of these, email us and we will respond within the window the applicable law sets, typically 30 days. We may ask for identity verification first.
Minors
Hudson Press builds media coverage for businesses and professionals. We do not knowingly gather information from anyone under 13, or under 16 where a stricter age threshold applies. If you believe a minor’s information reached us by mistake, tell us and we will remove it promptly.
Changes To This Policy
As our services, tools, or legal obligations evolve, this policy may be updated. The date at the top will always reflect the most recent revision. Continuing to use our site or services after an update means you accept the changes; where the law requires direct notice of a major change, we will provide it.
