Press distribution & GDPR - With the media & PR database, you can legally get your press release into the editorial offices

01/04/2023 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS
Unlike some other providers, e.g. of purchasable press distribution lists, Excel lists and media databases, the Media & PR Database 2022 does not contain any data from non-public data sources and is therefore DSGVO-compliant. You therefore do not run any legal risk when using and sending your press releases.
