Privacy Policy

Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through our Services. It does not apply to third-party websites, tools, or platforms that may be linked from our Services or used to deliver certain features.

Information We Collect

We collect information in three ways: (1) information you provide, (2) information collected automatically, and (3) information from third parties.

1) Information you provide to us

Depending on how you use our Services, you may provide:

• Contact information (e.g., name, email address, phone number, company name, job title)
• Order and billing information (e.g., what you purchased, invoices, transaction history)
• Payment information (e.g., partial card details or payment tokens provided by a payment processor; we generally do not store full card numbers)
• Service intake information submitted after purchase (e.g., goals, business details, location/service areas, keywords, website, brand details, press release facts, quotes, spokesperson details, images, logos)
• Content and files you upload or submit (e.g., drafts, images, attachments, media assets)
• Communications (e.g., emails, chat messages, support requests, feedback, or survey responses)

2) Information we collect automatically

When you visit our website, we may automatically collect:

• Device and usage data (e.g., IP address, browser type, device identifiers, operating system, pages viewed, clicks, referring URLs, and timestamps)
• Approximate location inferred from IP address (city/state level, not precise GPS)
• Cookie and tracking data as described in the Cookies section

3) Information we receive from third parties

We may receive information from:

• Payment processors (e.g., confirmation that a payment succeeded or failed, basic billing metadata)
• Email delivery and communications providers (e.g., delivery status, opens/clicks when enabled)
• Analytics providers (if enabled via cookie preferences)
• Business partners / service providers that help us deliver the Services (e.g., publishing/syndication and newsroom/media-room hosting providers)

How We Use Information

We use information to:

• Provide and deliver Services you request (including producing deliverables and coordinating distribution)
• Process transactions and maintain order history
• Send operational messages (purchase confirmations, intake instructions, status updates, deliverable links, and support communications)
• Provide customer support and troubleshoot issues
• Personalize and improve our Services and website experience
• Marketing and promotions (where permitted by law and your preferences), including newsletters and service updates
• Security and fraud prevention, including protecting our Services and users
• Legal compliance and enforcing our policies and agreements

How We Share Information

We may share information in the following circumstances:

Service providers

We share information with vendors that help us operate and deliver the Services (e.g., payment processing, email delivery, customer support tools, CRM, hosting, analytics where enabled).

Distribution and publishing partners

If you purchase a service that involves publishing, syndication, distribution, or a digital newsroom/media-room experience, we may share the information necessary to fulfill that service (e.g., press release content, business name, spokesperson name/title, and media assets).

Legal and safety

We may disclose information if we believe it is necessary to:

• comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or lawful request;
• protect the rights, property, or safety of UtahPressWire, our users, or others;
• prevent fraud, security issues, or abuse.

Business transfers

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

With your direction or consent

We may share information when you ask us to or when you consent.

Cookies & Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies (like pixels and local storage) to operate our website and (if enabled) to understand usage and improve performance.

Cookie categories

• Strictly Necessary: Required for core site functionality, security, and basic operations.
• Functional: Helps remember preferences and enable optional site features.
• Analytics: Helps us understand traffic and usage so we can improve the website.
• Marketing: Helps measure campaigns and deliver more relevant ads (if we run marketing campaigns).

Your cookie choices

You can control non-essential cookies via our cookie consent popup and at any time using the "Cookie Preferences" link in our footer.

Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control

Some browsers offer "Do Not Track" signals. Because there is no consistent industry standard, we may not respond to these signals in all cases. Where required by applicable law, we will honor recognized opt-out mechanisms.

Your Privacy Choices & Rights

Marketing emails

You can opt out of promotional emails using the "unsubscribe" link in those messages. Even if you opt out, we may still send non-promotional operational emails (e.g., receipts, service updates).

Utah Consumer Privacy Act (UCPA) rights (where applicable)

If you are a Utah consumer and the UCPA applies to our processing, you may have the right to:

• confirm whether we are processing your personal data and access it;
• request deletion of personal data you provided to us;
• obtain a copy of personal data you previously provided to us in a portable format (where applicable);
• opt out of processing for targeted advertising and/or the sale of personal data.

We will respond to verified requests within the timelines required by law.

Sensitive data

In general, we do not need sensitive data to provide our Services. If we ever process sensitive data as defined by applicable law, we will provide clear notice and an opportunity to opt out where required.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal data. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
