What this policy covers
This policy explains how we handle information about website visitors, newsletter subscribers, and people who contact us about our services. Separate agreements or notices may apply to information we process while providing services to clients.
A privacy policy explains data handling; visiting this website does not by itself give consent to optional marketing or tracking.
Information you provide
When you contact us or complete an inquiry form, you may provide your name, email address, company name, website, and information about your business and PR needs. Our inquiry form also asks about your sector, funding stage, budget, and intended engagement length. We use these details to understand the inquiry and whether our services are a suitable fit.
If you book a meeting, we receive the contact and scheduling information you provide for that booking. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we receive your email address and your subscription choice. We also receive the information you choose to include in correspondence with us.
Please do not send passwords, payment-card details, health information, or other sensitive personal information through a general inquiry form. Fields marked as required are needed for that form to work. You may instead contact us by email, although we may need further information to respond usefully.
Information involved in website operation
When your browser connects to the website and its service providers, those connections disclose technical information such as your IP address and the requested resource. Website infrastructure may also record browser and device information, request times, referring pages, and security or error events.
Our website uses Webflow infrastructure and externally hosted resources, including Google-hosted fonts. Booking functionality uses Cal.com. These services can receive technical information when their resources load and, for booking services, information you choose to submit. Cookies and similar storage technologies are described separately in our Cookie Policy .
How we use information
We use information to:
- Respond to inquiries and discuss potential work.
- Assess whether our services match the business needs described in an inquiry.
- Arrange and manage requested meetings.
- Send the newsletter when you subscribe and manage your subscription choices.
- Operate, maintain, and secure the website and investigate technical problems or misuse.
- Handle privacy requests, maintain necessary business records, and meet applicable legal obligations.
Our inquiry process may use answers about your business to display a suitability message or the next step. You can contact us by email if you want a person to review your inquiry.
Our reasons for processing information
Where European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA) data-protection law applies, we identify a legal basis for each activity. We rely on our legitimate interests in responding to business inquiries, communicating with company representatives, assessing potential engagements, and protecting our website, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights. Where you personally are a party to a contract, processing necessary for that contract or steps you request before entering it may instead be based on contractual necessity.
We rely on consent for newsletter subscriptions and optional tracking where consent is required. You can withdraw consent at any time; withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal. We also process information to meet applicable legal obligations. Where EU or EEA law applies, reliance on this legal basis is limited to obligations recognized under that law.
In Canada, we obtain the form of consent required for the information and purpose, unless an applicable law permits or requires processing without consent. Optional marketing is not a condition of making a business inquiry.
Who receives information
We do not sell or rent your personal information, or share it with other companies for their own marketing or advertising. Necessary service-provider processing and legally required disclosures are different from giving another company your information to market to you.
Information may be handled by service providers supporting website hosting, forms, scheduling, communications, and business administration, to the extent needed for their roles. Webflow and Cal.com are part of the website setup described above. Providers supplying externally loaded resources may also receive connection information directly from your browser.
We may disclose relevant information to professional advisers, where legally required, or where lawfully necessary to establish or defend legal claims or protect against fraud and misuse. If a business transaction affects personal information, any transfer must be handled in accordance with applicable law, including required notice and safeguards.
Where information is processed
Salient PR is based in the United States. Our service providers may process information in other countries. Data-protection laws and government-access rules may differ from those where you live.
For questions about where your information is processed or the protections that apply, contact achievemore@salientpr.com. Where applicable law restricts international transfers, those requirements apply in addition to this policy; visiting the website is not a waiver of your rights or consent to an otherwise unlawful transfer.
How long we retain information
We retain information for the period needed for the purpose for which it was collected, taking into account the status of an inquiry or relationship, ongoing correspondence, legal recordkeeping requirements, security needs, and the establishment or defense of legal claims.
Newsletter contact information is used while you remain subscribed. After an unsubscribe request, we may retain a limited suppression record so we can respect that choice. The duration of any browser storage depends on the relevant technology and its configuration; browser settings can show and remove cookies stored on your device.
When retention is no longer justified, we delete or de-identify information using the procedures applicable to the relevant system. Information retained in backups must remain protected and expire under the applicable backup schedule.
Security
We use safeguards appropriate to the information and the risks, including restricting access to people who need it for their work. No website, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
Your choices and rights
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter using the unsubscribe option in a message or by contacting achievemore@salientpr.com. You can also contact that address about your information or a privacy concern.
Depending on the law that applies and the circumstances, you may have rights to access your information, correct it, request deletion, obtain a portable copy, restrict or object to processing, or withdraw consent. Where applicable, you may also opt out of sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or certain profiling, and appeal a refusal of a privacy request. These rights are subject to the conditions and exceptions of the relevant law.
If EU or EEA law applies, you can object to processing based on legitimate interests and to direct marketing. You may complain to a competent supervisory authority, including in the country of your habitual residence, workplace, or an alleged infringement. If Canadian privacy law applies, you can raise a concern with us and with the appropriate federal or provincial privacy regulator. U.S. residents may also contact the relevant state privacy authority or attorney general.
We may need proportionate information to confirm identity or an authorized representative’s authority before disclosing personal information or acting on certain requests. We respond within the applicable legal timeframe and explain any permitted extension or refusal. We do not unlawfully discriminate against someone for exercising privacy rights. Where an appeal right applies, email the same address with “Privacy appeal” in the subject line and identify the decision you want reviewed.
Browser privacy signals
We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. Global Privacy Control communicates an opt-out preference for those activities; our no-sale/no-advertising-sharing practice applies whether or not you enable that signal. Do Not Track is a separate browser setting. We do not treat that setting as consent to additional collection or use of personal information. Browser settings alone do not necessarily prevent technical requests to hosting or embedded-service providers.
External websites
Links may take you to services operated by other organizations. Their handling of information is explained in their own notices. This does not remove our responsibility for information we disclose to them or for technologies we choose to embed on our website.
Children
This website is intended for business audiences, not children. Please contact us if you believe a child has provided personal information so we can assess and address the situation under applicable law.
Changes to this policy
We will update the effective date above when this policy changes. If a change requires additional notice or a new consent choice, we will provide it as required before applying the change.
