Advertising technologies may use cookies or similar technologies to measure advertising performance, understand interactions with advertisements or provide advertising functionality.
Third-party advertising providers may process information according to their own privacy practices.

7. Story Submissions
Founders Newswire accepts story ideas, company announcements and other materials for editorial consideration through our Submit Your Story page and other communication channels.
Information submitted for editorial consideration may be reviewed by our editorial team and used to evaluate, research or prepare potential coverage.
Submitting material does not guarantee publication.
If information is confidential, subject to an embargo or provided under another restriction, those conditions should be clearly agreed with Founders Newswire before sensitive information is submitted. Additional information about our editorial practices is available in our Editorial Guidelines.
8. Get Featured, Advertising and Partnership Inquiries
When you contact Founders Newswire through Get Featured or Advertising & Partnerships, we may use the information you provide to evaluate your inquiry, communicate with you, prepare proposals, administer a commercial relationship or provide requested services.
Information submitted for commercial purposes may be retained as part of our business records where appropriate.
9. How We May Share Information
Founders Newswire does not sell personal information merely because you contact us or submit a story.
We may share information when reasonably necessary with third parties that provide services supporting our operations, such as website hosting, security, analytics, email delivery, cloud storage, forms, communications and other technology or professional services.
We may also disclose information:
- When required by applicable law, regulation, court order or valid legal process
- When reasonably necessary to investigate fraud, abuse or security incidents
- To protect the rights, property or safety of Founders Newswire, our users or others
- In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, sale of assets or similar business transaction
- With your consent or at your direction
Service providers may process information on our behalf according to their contractual obligations and applicable law.
10. Third-Party Websites and Services
Founders Newswire articles and pages may contain links to websites, social networks, companies, organizations and other third-party services.
A link from Founders Newswire does not mean that we control the privacy practices of the destination website.
When you leave our website or interact directly with a third-party service, that provider’s privacy policy and terms may apply.
We encourage readers to review the privacy practices of third-party services before providing personal information.
11. Social Media
Founders Newswire may maintain profiles on social media and other third-party platforms.
If you interact with us through those platforms, the platform provider may collect or process information according to its own privacy policies and settings.
Information you make publicly available through social media may also be visible to Founders Newswire and other users.
12. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to provide services, maintain appropriate business or editorial records, resolve disputes, protect our interests and satisfy applicable legal obligations.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the purpose for which it was collected and applicable requirements.
Information that forms part of legitimate journalistic, editorial or archival records may be handled differently from ordinary account, marketing or commercial information where permitted by applicable law.
13. Data Security
Founders Newswire takes reasonable administrative, organizational and technical measures intended to protect information under our control against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
However, no website, electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Users should therefore exercise appropriate care when transmitting information online.
14. International Visitors
Founders Newswire serves a global audience.
As a result, information may be processed or stored in countries other than the country in which a visitor resides, including locations where our hosting, technology or service providers operate.
Data protection laws may differ between jurisdictions.
Where required, appropriate measures may be used in connection with international transfers of personal information.
15. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live and the laws applicable to the processing of your information, you may have certain privacy rights.
These may include the right to request:
- Access to certain personal information
- Correction of inaccurate information
- Deletion of certain information
- Restriction of certain processing
- Objection to certain processing
- Withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent
- A copy or transfer of certain information
- Information about how personal information is used
These rights are not absolute and may be subject to legal exceptions, including circumstances involving freedom of expression, journalism, legal obligations, legitimate recordkeeping or the rights of others.
To make a privacy-related request, please contact us through our Contact page.
We may need to verify a request before taking action.
16. Children’s Privacy
Founders Newswire is a business and news publication intended for a general audience and is not directed specifically to children.
We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children in circumstances where parental or guardian consent would be required by applicable law.
If you believe a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us so the matter can be reviewed.
17. Editorial and Journalistic Information
As a news organization, Founders Newswire may collect, research, receive, maintain and publish information for legitimate journalistic and editorial purposes.
Privacy and data protection laws in some jurisdictions recognize specific rights, exemptions or protections relating to journalism, freedom of expression and the public interest.
Requests involving information contained in published journalism or legitimate editorial records may therefore be evaluated differently from requests concerning ordinary commercial or website data, subject to applicable law.
Questions about published factual information or requests for corrections should be submitted in accordance with our Corrections Policy.
18. Legal Requests
Founders Newswire may preserve or disclose information where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law or valid legal process.
Where legally permitted and appropriate, requests involving journalistic materials, confidential sources or editorial information will be evaluated with consideration for applicable protections relating to journalism and freedom of expression.
19. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our website, services, technology, business practices or legal requirements.
When material changes are made, the updated version may be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
We encourage visitors to review this page periodically.
