For journalists
If you are in this database, here is exactly what that means.
Press Hub holds professional contact details for journalists so that companies can reach the right desk instead of every desk. You did not ask to be here, and this page is about what follows from that.
01
What is held about me?
- Your name, the outlet you are linked to, and your role or beat where known.
- A work email address, where one was published on a masthead, an impressum, an editorial page or a byline — or, in some cases, derived from your outlet’s address pattern and never observed. The second kind is labelled as such.
- Public profile links, where they were used as corroboration.
- Whether mail sent to you bounced, was reported, or was unsubscribed from.
02
Is any of it published?
No. This is structural, not a setting: the public tier publishes outlet identity only — name, type, country, languages, founding year, owner — and the queries behind it cannot select a contact name, role or address. Journalists are deliberately absent from the public pages, the structured data and the sitemaps.
Nothing about you reaches a model provider either. The planning assistant is given counts and vocabulary and returns filters; the people behind a filter are resolved by the database afterwards.
03
How do I stop receiving mail, or get removed entirely?
Every campaign mail carries a one-click unsubscribe that works without a reply and without an account. It adds you to a global do-not-send list, not just to that sender’s — and an opt-out recorded that way outranks any later automated re-scoring of your address.
For removal from the database itself, use the take-down form or write to hello@pressdb.co. You do not need to explain why.
04
What are my rights, and where is this still incomplete?
Access, correction, erasure, restriction, portability and objection, plus a complaint to the Hellenic Data Protection Authority or your own supervisory authority. The privacy notice sets out the legal basis and the Article 14 position.
What is not complete, stated plainly: there is no written identity-verification procedure for rights requests, no published retention schedule, and no settled position on whether the open- and click-tracking in campaign mail is lawful without consent in every member state. Those are among the reasons the privacy notice is still a draft.
