Why did I get this email?
Someone at a company used Pressmerit to prepare a collaboration request about your site, then sent it from their own mailbox. We did not send it, and we do not send mail on anyone’s behalf. The message left their address, and a reply goes straight back to them.
What Pressmerit did happened earlier and is narrower than the email suggests. The platform found your site on the open web, looked up a work contact for it, and helped the sender write the pitch. Whether you answer, ignore it, or turn it down is between the two of you.
Turning down the sender ends that one conversation. If you would rather not be approached through Pressmerit by anyone at all, the form further down does that in one step, for every user of the platform at once.

The whole record
What we know about you
A work contact found on your site or via a licensed data partner — nothing more.
- what we hold
- a work email address, the website it belongs to and, where the source published them, a name and a role
- where it came from
- a public page on your own site, or a licensed data partner we buy business-contact data from
- what it is for
- letting one Pressmerit user reach you about a specific placement on your own site
- who sees it
- the user who requested contact details for your site. Not other users, not the open web, and it is never sold on
- what we do not hold
- no private addresses, no browsing history, no profile assembled about you, nothing bought from a breach or scraped from a consumer list
GDPR Article 14
Where this obligation comes from
Article 14 of the GDPR governs personal data that was collected from somewhere other than you, and it requires the disclosure you are reading. The short version: we hold a work contact for your site; it came from your own public pages or from a licensed data partner; it is processed so that one Pressmerit user can reach you about one collaboration; and it is disclosed to that user alone.
The legal basis is legitimate interest (business-to-business contact about work a site has already published), and that is exactly the basis you are entitled to object to. The form below is that objection, without an email exchange to get there. The full notice, with retention periods, subprocessors and every right you can exercise, is the privacy notice.
One step, no account
Remove your address
Enter the address the message arrived at. It goes on the platform-wide do-not-contact list: no Pressmerit user can surface it or write to it again, whichever site they happen to be working on. No account, and no reason required.
If suppression is not enough
Deleting the record
Suppression and erasure are different things, and the choice is yours. The form above suppresses: the address stays out of every result and every message, for every user.
Want the underlying record deleted, not just suppressed? Say so in an email to privacy@pressmerit.com: that’s a GDPR erasure request and we honor it.
One trade-off is worth knowing before you pick. The suppression entry is what recognises your address if it appears in a data set we license later. Erase the record outright and there is nothing left to match against, so the same address can be collected again, at which point you can object again, and we suppress it again.
