Email Compliance Statement
Effective Date: June 1, 2023
Media List Market is committed to responsible use of contact information. This page outlines our compliance stance and your responsibilities when using our products.
Our Commitment
We create media contact lists by manually collecting publicly available information from trusted, verifiable sources such as news websites, author bios, public social profiles, and contact pages. All emails are verified for deliverability using a third-party service.
We do not collect sensitive, private, or non-public data.
We do not scrape hidden contact information or violate terms of service on other platforms.
Your Responsibility as a User
When you purchase and use one of our media lists, you are solely responsible for complying with relevant email and data privacy laws, including:
For U.S. Contacts – CAN-SPAM Act
You must:
-
Use accurate “From” and “Reply-To” info
-
Avoid misleading subject lines
-
Clearly identify the message as a PR or business communication
-
Include your valid physical address
-
Provide a way for the recipient to opt out (e.g., “If you’d prefer not to receive future messages, let me know.”)
-
Honor opt-out requests promptly
More info: FTC’s CAN-SPAM compliance guide
For EU Contacts – GDPR (If Applicable)
While our lists are primarily U.S.-based, if you contact someone in the EU, you should ensure:
-
You have a legitimate interest in contacting them (e.g., relevant pitch to their beat)
-
You include a way to object or opt out
-
You delete their info upon request
You should not add contacts to email newsletters without explicit consent.
Removal Requests
Any journalist or media professional who wishes to be removed from our database can email us at:
📧 customersupport@medialistmarket.com
We honor all opt-out or deletion requests promptly and respectfully.
A Note on Responsible Pitching
Sending cold PR pitches is a common industry practice—but it should always be:
-
Personalized
-
Relevant to the journalist’s beat
-
Respectful and easy to opt out of
Mass-blast emails, irrelevant pitches, or newsletter-style marketing without consent are not only ineffective, but may violate laws.
Questions?
If you’re unsure whether your outreach is compliant, consult a legal professional or refer to official government resources. Media List Market does not offer legal advice, but we do support ethical, professional communication.
