UsaGovPress.com is a digital platform designed to empower political communication across the United States by providing professional-grade press release distribution and strategic media publishing services. We aim to amplify voices in the political space—from candidates and campaign managers to public officials and advocacy groups—ensuring clarity, credibility, and reach. Our website is located at https://usagovpress.com, and we are committed to maintaining transparency, safeguarding visitor information, and upholding ethical digital practices. Whether users are browsing content, subscribing to updates, or submitting materials for publication, their data privacy and user experience remain a core priority. This privacy policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information.
When visitors submit comments on UsaGovPress.com, we collect the information shown in the comment form (name, email, comment text), as well as the user’s IP address and browser user agent string. This is done to help us detect and prevent spam and ensure our comment sections remain constructive and secure. Additionally, an anonymized hash created from your email may be shared with the Gravatar service to see if you have a linked profile image. Gravatar’s policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if available) may be displayed publicly next to your comment. We reserve the right to moderate or remove comments that violate our platform’s ethical and political discourse standards.
If you upload images or documents to our platform—whether for press release submissions, featured content, or profile updates—please ensure you remove any embedded location data (EXIF GPS) from your files before uploading. This is especially important for political professionals, campaign staff, or public figures, as embedded metadata can unintentionally expose geographic locations or device information. Visitors to our site may be able to download and extract location details from media files if this data is not removed. To maintain security and privacy, UsaGovPress.com does not knowingly use or store metadata for marketing or tracking purposes. Uploaded media may be publicly visible depending on its context (e.g., if included in a press release or article), so we advise all users to ensure they are comfortable with their media being viewed publicly.
UsaGovPress.com uses cookies to improve user experience, streamline login processes, and enhance browsing efficiency. If you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies. These will persist for up to one year, making it easier to comment again without re-entering your details.
When accessing our login page, we use a temporary cookie to determine browser compatibility. This contains no personal data and is removed when the session ends. Once logged in, additional cookies store login details and screen display preferences. Login cookies remain for two days, screen settings for one year. Selecting “Remember Me” will extend your session for two weeks.
If you log out, login cookies are deleted. Additionally, publishing or editing a post stores a cookie that notes the article’s ID—this expires after one day and contains no personal data. These cookies help our political publishing process remain smooth, secure, and user-friendly.
Articles or press releases on UsaGovPress.com may contain embedded media—such as videos, infographics, tweets, or news excerpts—from external websites. These embeds behave just like visiting the original third-party site. This means the external site may collect data about you, use its own cookies, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content.
For example, if you’re logged into platforms like YouTube, Twitter, or Facebook and engage with embedded content on our site, your activity may be tracked by those respective sites. We do not control how third-party websites collect or manage data, so we advise reviewing their privacy policies if you’re concerned about data tracking or usage.
While embedded content allows us to provide a richer user experience and connect you with relevant political information and multimedia, UsaGovPress.com does not share your personal information directly with these third-party sites unless otherwise specified.
We do not sell or trade user data to third parties. However, if you request a password reset, your IP address is included in the reset email for verification and fraud prevention. This helps us validate that the request is legitimate and not part of a coordinated cyberattack or impersonation attempt.
In rare cases, we may also disclose user information to comply with legal obligations or to protect our rights, users, or the public. This includes responding to lawful requests by public authorities, including meeting national security or law enforcement requirements. We may also work with technical partners who help us maintain the site’s integrity, detect spam, or enhance user experience—but only under strict confidentiality agreements. No personal user data is ever shared outside these protective boundaries unless required by law.
When you leave a comment, we retain the comment and its metadata indefinitely to maintain continuity in public discussions and for moderation efficiency. This allows us to approve follow-up comments automatically instead of reviewing them manually each time.
If you create an account on UsaGovPress.com (such as for submitting press releases or managing your media library), the personal data you provide is stored in your user profile. You can view, update, or delete your information at any time—except for your username, which cannot be changed for security and reference purposes.
Site administrators also have access to this data for moderation and content management. We retain data as long as your account is active or as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless legally required to keep it longer.
If you have an account on UsaGovPress.com or have left comments, you may request an exported file containing the personal data we hold about you. This includes any content you’ve submitted, comments made, or settings saved.
You may also request that we delete all personal data associated with your account. This right does not extend to information we are legally or operationally required to retain—such as compliance with court orders, dispute resolution, or fraud prevention efforts.
To make a data request or exercise your privacy rights, please contact us through the form provided on our website’s contact page. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and ensure your data is handled with integrity and confidentiality throughout the process.
Visitor comments and user submissions may be screened using automated spam detection services, anti-malware filters, and IP verification systems. These systems help protect our site and our users from malicious activity, including phishing, defamation, and politically motivated content manipulation.
Data may also be securely stored in encrypted formats within our content management systems or cloud infrastructure, depending on the service used. We do not send your data to third-party marketing or tracking platforms without your explicit consent. Any use of third-party services is strictly for operational, moderation, or security-related functions and governed by data protection standards.
