01Who we are
Kanil PRwire™ (Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, India — 202393, GST 09BOUPV7361E2Z3) decides how your personal data is used on this website, the client dashboard and in our services. Under Indian law we are the “Data Fiduciary”; under the EU and UK GDPR we are the “controller”. This policy applies to clients, visitors and anyone who contacts us.
02Information we collect
When you register for a Kanil PRwire™ account, use our services or contact us, we may collect the following information:
- Account information: full name, email address, phone number, company name, city, state, country, postal code, GST number if you give it, and billing currency preference.
- Content data: press releases, guest posts, source profiles, media files, author details and related metadata that you submit through our platform. Contact details you put in a press release (for example, a media contact) are published with it.
- Payment data: credit balances, order history, invoices, and the payment proof you upload (for example, a screenshot of a UPI or bank transfer, which may show your name, bank and transaction number). Card details are entered on PayPal and never reach us.
- Messages: what you send through the contact form, support tickets, email or WhatsApp.
- Technical data: IP address, browser type, device information, login times and pages visited, collected automatically for security and, if you allow it, for analytics.
03How we use your information
- Provide, operate and maintain our PR distribution and publishing services, and publish the content you send. (Needed to carry out our agreement with you.)
- Manage your account, credits, invoices and payments, and keep accounting records. (Agreement with you, and our duties under Indian tax and GST law.)
- Reply to your messages and send order and account notices. (Agreement with you.)
- Keep the website and the dashboard secure, prevent fraud and misuse. (Our legitimate interest in a safe service.)
- Count visits and show ads with Google Analytics and Google AdSense. (Your consent where the law requires it — see Cookies.)
- Send our newsletter or offers. (Your consent; you can unsubscribe at any time with the link in every email.)
04Who we share it with
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We share it only with:
- Publication partners: the content and byline of your press releases and guest posts, so they can be published.
- Hostinger — website hosting, databases and our email.
- Google — Google Analytics (visit statistics), Google AdSense (ads on some articles) and Google Fonts (the fonts on our pages).
- PayPal and Payoneer — when you pay with them; and our bank, for UPI, NEFT and IMPS payments.
- WhatsApp (Meta) — only when you choose to chat with us there.
- Cloudflare (cdnjs) — delivers the text editor and PDF tools used in the dashboard; it sees your IP address when your browser loads them.
- Authorities — if the law, a court or a tax authority requires it.
These providers may only use your data to provide their service to us, or under their own privacy policies where they act on their own account (for example, PayPal and Google).
05International transfers
We are based in India and our servers are run by Hostinger. Some providers above (Google, PayPal, Payoneer, Meta, Cloudflare) process data in the United States, Europe and other countries. If you are in the EU, EEA or UK, your data is therefore sent outside it. Where these providers process data for us, they use the safeguards the GDPR allows, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.
06Data security
- All data transmitted via HTTPS (SSL/TLS encryption).
- Passwords stored using bcrypt hashing, never in plain text.
- CSRF protection on all forms.
- Session security with httponly, secure, and samesite cookie flags.
- Uploaded files are checked and cannot run as programs.
- Regular access control reviews and a permission-based admin system.
If a breach affects your personal data, we will tell you and the authorities as the law requires.
07How long we keep it
- Account data: while your account is open. After you ask us to close it, we remove or anonymise it, except what we must keep by law.
- Invoices, payments and payment proofs: for as long as Indian tax and GST law requires us to keep accounting records (currently up to eight years).
- Published content: press releases and articles may remain published as part of the public media record. You can ask us to remove or correct a story; publication partners decide for their own sites.
- Messages and support tickets: as long as needed to handle your request and any follow-up, then deleted or anonymised.
- Security logs (IP address, login times): as long as needed to protect accounts and investigate misuse.
To close your account, write to info@kanilprwire.com.
08Your rights
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate information.
- Request deletion of your account and personal data (subject to legal retention requirements).
- Withdraw consent at any time — for marketing emails, and for analytics and ad cookies (see Cookies). This does not affect what was done before.
- Name someone to use these rights for you if you are unable to.
- If you are in the EU, EEA or UK, you may also object to processing based on our legitimate interest, ask us to limit processing, and ask for your data in a portable format.
- Complain to our Grievance Officer (below). After that you may go to the Data Protection Board of India, or, in the EU, EEA or UK, to your local data protection authority.
We reply to requests in writing. We may ask you to confirm who you are first.

Our services are for people aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you think a child has given us personal data, write to us and we will delete it.
