We collect, store and handle personal information on journalists to enable us as PR and content marketing professionals to communicate with them, and provide them with information on the companies we represent, that they are interested in writing about. This information includes press releases, corporate news and views, business updates, events and activities, communicated to them via email or phone.
Foco represents a number of companies operating in and around the financial services sector.
Users who opt in to receive news from Foco may be notified about updates to our website and receive periodic emails from us regarding events, activities, news or information regarding Foco and/or our clients, that we feel may be of interest.
Foco focuses on targeting just those journalists we believe are interested in hearing about news relevant to them.

We also collect and distribute marketing emails using Mailchimp. MailChimp is a service provided by The Rocket Science Group, LLC, 512 Means Street, Suite 404, Atlanta, GA 30318, USA.
Foco regularly checks that the information it holds is still relevant. We continuously monitor to see if a journalist is still working at the outlet assigned to it, and if a journalist leaves the world of journalism, we remove them from our database, along with all their personal data.
If someone decides to unsubscribe or stop receiving news from us, they are removed automatically from our database, along with all their personal data.
