Pressdeck
Pressdeck is a no-code platform for building hosted press kit websites and branded newsrooms. It imports iOS App Store listings, scores each kit against PR best practice, and publishes press releases from a single dashboard.
What is Pressdeck?
Pressdeck is a hosted, no-code platform for building press kit websites. Rather than emailing PDFs or sharing a folder of assets, a company publishes a permanent page that journalists, influencers, partners and investors can open at any time. Every kit gets its own address: a yourcompany.pressdeck.io subdomain, a custom domain such as press.yourbrand.com, or an iframe embedded inside an existing site.
A kit is assembled from ready-made blocks. There is a rich home page, galleries for images and videos, logos and brand guidelines, downloadable files, a colour palette, team profiles with contact details, news coverage, QR codes and a press contact. A built-in newsroom adds a Notion-style editor for press releases, and each published item gets its own dedicated, shareable page. Two design templates, an accent colour, a logo and a favicon keep the result on brand.
Two features carry the artificial intelligence. iOS developers paste an App Store link and Pressdeck imports the name, icon, description, screenshots, pricing and metadata, then assembles a draft story covering overview, features, selling points, audience and pricing, live and editable within minutes. The Press Kit Score then rates the finished kit and lists what is missing, prompting you to upload more images, show team members or publish a press email.
The rest is classic web publishing done carefully: pages are built for SEO and AEO, served from a global CDN, optimised for mobile, and explicitly designed to be parsed by search engines and AI assistants. Several people can edit the same kit at once, and ownership can be handed to another account, which is why agencies run every client from one login with an unlimited number of kits.
The scope is deliberately narrow. Pressdeck hosts and presents your story; it does not find journalists, monitor coverage or send pitches, which is where Muck Rack and Meltwater operate. Four free side tools sit alongside the product: a word counter, a product overview writer, email pitch templates and an App Store screenshot downloader. The team also offers to migrate an existing press kit for you.

Data, GDPR & hosting
A consolidated view of how Pressdeck handles your data.
GDPR overview
The GDPR is never mentioned on the site. None of the collected pages contains the word, and there is no EU representative under Article 27, no named data protection officer, no published Data Processing Agreement and no subprocessor list. What does exist is a set of rights granted to every customer regardless of location: right to know, access, correction, erasure, complaint, portability and non-discrimination, exercised through account settings or by writing to support@pressdeck.io, with identity verification where needed. EU and UK residents are explicitly pointed to their own supervisory authority. Transfers to the United States are acknowledged and based on user consent, without any named transfer mechanism such as standard contractual clauses. The stated legal framework is American: CCPA and the Stored Communications Act.
Who owns the data?
You keep ownership of everything you upload. The terms state that all materials submitted to the service remain yours, and that Pressdeck receives only a limited licence to use them in order to operate the service, claiming no ownership rights. Pressdeck owns the platform itself, including its HTML, CSS, JavaScript and visual design, and its logos may only be reused with written permission. Human access to your data is restricted to four cases: support requests with your express consent, technical error investigation, security and abuse work, and legally binding US requests. Under the CCPA, Pressdeck describes itself as a service provider rather than a business, and the privacy policy states it never sells personal information.
Reuse rights
Because your content stays yours, you may reuse it freely elsewhere without asking permission, and a published kit is public by design: it can be shared through its permanent link, embedded in your own website with an iframe, or served from your own domain. Ownership of a kit can also be handed over to another account, which is how an agency delivers a finished kit to its client. The restrictions run the other way: you may not reproduce, duplicate, resell or otherwise exploit any part of the service, reuse its code or visual design, or use Pressdeck's own logos without written permission. Aggregated and de-identified data, for its part, may be reused by the vendor for any purpose, marketing and analytics included.
Data retention & training
Hosting summary
Pressdeck states that it is a US company and that all of its data infrastructure sits in the United States, with the exception of the content delivery networks that serve published kits around the world. Its products and web properties are operated in the United States, and users located in the European Union, the United Kingdom or anywhere else outside the US are told that the information they provide will be transferred to and stored in the United States, on the basis of their consent. The domain resolves to a US-based address on Amazon infrastructure. Unnamed third-party vendors and hosting partners are mentioned, but no subprocessor list is published. Data is encrypted with SSL/TLS in transit; the privacy policy states plainly that it is not encrypted at rest in the database. Government requests are handled under US law only, with non-US authorities refused unless a mutual legal assistance procedure applies. No EU region or data residency option is offered.
Things to keep in mind
Risks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting Pressdeck.
- A press kit is public by design: team contacts, email addresses and your postal address become indexable by search engines and AI assistants
- Data is not encrypted at rest in the vendor's database, as the privacy policy itself acknowledges
- Everything is hosted under US jurisdiction, and EU or UK data is transferred to the United States with no named transfer mechanism
- Deleting an account is irreversible: content becomes inaccessible immediately and is purged within 60 days, with no recovery possible
- The terms allow suspension or termination of an account at any time and for any reason, with loss of the content it holds
- No service-level agreement covers a page that is meant to be your permanent public shop window
- Publishing a press release is not distributing it: without a journalist database, the newsroom can create a false sense of media coverage
Setup & Integrations
Technical difficulty
Very low. The platform is explicitly no-code and the site states that no technical skills are required: a complete kit is announced in under an hour, or a few minutes for an iOS app imported from its App Store listing. A guided template and the Press Kit Score indicate what to fill in next. The only step that needs any technical comfort is connecting a custom domain, which involves a DNS change, or embedding the kit in an existing site with an iframe. The team also offers to help migrate an existing press kit.

Should you pick Pressdeck?
Pressdeck does one job and does it cheaply. For 49 USD a year it replaces the improvised mix of a landing page, a shared asset folder and a publishing tool that most small companies use to hold their press materials, and it puts the result behind a single link that stays online. The App Store import is the strongest argument for indie iOS developers: a listing becomes a working press page in minutes, and the Press Kit Score turns the vague question of whether a kit is good enough into a list of concrete gaps. Agencies get the same value from unlimited kits, real-time collaboration and the ability to hand ownership to the client. What buyers should understand is where the product stops. There is no journalist database, no monitoring and no pitch distribution, so Pressdeck sits next to press outreach rather than replacing it. The data governance is light for a business tool: the GDPR is never mentioned, no DPA or subprocessor list is published, hosting is entirely in the United States, and the privacy policy openly states that data is not encrypted at rest. There is no service-level agreement either, which matters for a page meant to be permanently public. The vendor is young and small: the domain was registered in October 2024, the product launched in February 2025, and one founder is publicly identified. Two comparison articles still carry 2025 prices that the homepage contradicts, so confirm the current terms before subscribing. For a founder, an indie developer or a small marketing team that simply needs a credible press page today, the trade-off is easy to accept. For a regulated organisation with data residency obligations, it is not.
