Unsubscribe from all messages from Pressfilter
When you have previously signed up for Pressfilter.eu but no longer wish to receive press releases, you can contact us by sending an email or using the chat icon at the bottom right of the website. Periodically we contact you to find out whether your preferences are still correct. On those occasions you can also state that you do not want to receive anything more. We are also working on a portal where you can directly customize your preferences and can delete yourself from the database. You can also block the e-mail address so that it is no longer technically possible to send messages to your address via Smart.pr.

When you register with Pressfilter, you can indicate the categories about which you'd like to receive press releases. Of course, your preferences could change over time. You can ask us to change your preferences in different ways:

• You can contact us directly via e-mail contact@pressfilter.eu.

Yes. We do everything we can to comply with European data protection law (GDPR). You can read our privacy policy here: pressfilter.eu/privacy-statement.

However, this legislation is very comprehensive and complex. If you come across something that you think is not in accordance with the law, we would love to hear from you. We are learning about the precise interpretation of the new legislation, so we would like to hear your opinion and we will adapt our service where necessary.

Pressfilter is an initiative from Startup Studio Nescio. Startup Studio Nescio has experience in journalism (including the company Journa.com) and the PR and communications industry (the company Smart.pr among others). Based on this experience, the idea for Pressfilter arose.

Pressfilter works with Smart.pr, which offers an online software package for PR departments in larger organizations and companies, PR agencies and consultants. With this software from Smart.pr, companies can see which contacts Pressfilter's database wants to receive press releases on a given topic and which don't.

We are a young team with an office located in Amsterdam. We work to improve the communication between PR and communication on the one hand, and journalism on the other. You can read more about us here: pressfilter.eu/about-us

Pressfilter is completely free for journalists.
