Last updated: June 2, 2026
PR Gun ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website prgun.com. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our press release distribution service.

We collect information you provide directly when creating an account or using our services:
- Account information: name, email address, company name, and password.

Cookies
We use cookies to maintain your session, remember your preferences (such as dark mode), and improve your experience. You can configure your browser to reject cookies, though some features may not function properly without them.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. Google Analytics collects anonymized data such as pages visited, time on site, and referral sources. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Data Retention
We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. Published press releases remain available on our site indefinitely as part of our public archive. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal information within 30 days, though published press releases may remain in third-party archives beyond our control.
Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (TLS/SSL), secure password hashing, and restricted access to personal data. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
