4. Your content
You retain all rights to your press releases, pitches, and uploaded contacts. You grant us a limited license to store and transmit that content solely to operate the Service for you.

The DIYPR Master Journalist Database is our proprietary compilation. You may use entries only inside the Service to send individual, personalised pitches. You may not export, resell, share, scrape, or bulk-download entries.
