How Merritt Newsroom and its press rooms handle data about visitors.
What the rooms count
Press rooms count page views and file downloads as daily totals. They also count how often AI services such as ChatGPT and Claude read a room, and how many visits come from links in AI answers. Each publisher sees only the totals for its room. They show the publisher how the room is used. Daily totals are deleted after 12 months.
What the service never keeps
The newsroom and press rooms set no cookies and store nothing in your browser. The totals never include your IP address or anything else that can identify you. The server handles the IP address of each request for security and rate limiting, and does not keep it with the totals. If your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, the visit is not counted at all.
Who is responsible
Merritt is the controller for the newsroom index. Each room publisher is the controller for the visitor data in its room. Merritt processes data on behalf of each room publisher as its processor. The legal basis is the controller’s legitimate interest in knowing how its newsroom or press room is used. You can ask for access to your data, ask to correct or delete it, and object to the processing. You can also complain to the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY). Send privacy questions to info@usemerritt.com. Questions about a company’s content go to its press contacts.
