@kristofertm Hi - it's Adam, Co-Founder/CEO of GetEmails. Long story short, contrary to popular belief (I learned this recently myself), the CAN-SPAM law for the USA actually does not require that a subscriber opt in to your newsletter to legally receive commercial email (bulk or transactional). It requires that you provide an opt-out on any email you send (along with a few other things ... but not opt-in). Here is a summary of what is in the CAN-SPAM act, created by the FTC ... the actual "law". https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/... So legally you are fine. (This is only for people in the USA. It's not GDPR compliant.) The reason everyone thinks that it's illegal to send email that people haven't opted in for is because the Email Marketing industry has done such a great job at promoting Spamhaus' definition of SPAM, and running the general infrastructure, spam filters, etc that way. The Spamhaus definition of SPAM is the following: “The word ‘Spam’ as applied to Email means ‘Unsolicited Bulk Email.’ Unsolicited means that the Recipient has not granted verifiable permission for the message to be sent. Bulk means that the message is sent as part of a larger collection of messages, all having substantively identical content. A message is Spam only if it is both Unsolicited and Bulk.” GetEmails is compliant with Spamhaus' definition also. We provide verifiable consent - the source record and opt-in date - of every email we pass along to you. Those source websites' privacy policies state that by opting in, the subscriber is agreeing that her information will be shared with a partner network for marketing purposes. For a more granular explanation of CAN-SPAM compliance from our lawyers, please refer to this PDF. https://d1a8dioxuajlzs.cloudfron... The most important thing is that emails from GetEmails' deliver. They don't bounce, and engagement is high, because the emails are so targeted. They were a live body that was on your website yesterday. Does all that make sense? Let me know if you have any more questions!

@adam_robinson That does make sense. Appreciate the explanation and awesome to know you guys have taken regulations seriously. This seems like an even more unbelievably useful tool everyone should be using. I'll be recommending the use to many
