Every email CodeTrendy sends, and how to stop it.

What we send

1. 01

   Account and security email

   Who gets it

   People who created an account or bought a listing. One exception: when someone claims a listing, the business contact on that listing gets a single security notice with a link to dispute the claim.

   What it is

   Email verification and activation reminders, sign-in links, password resets, receipts, listing approval or rejection, payment problems, claim notices.

   How often

   Sent only when something happens to an account, a listing or a payment.

   How to stop it

   Delete your account in Settings. Security notices (password resets, claim notices) are always delivered unless the address has bounced or reported spam.

2. 02

   Member email

   Who gets it

   Registered users only.

   What it is

   Reminders to finish a listing you started, traffic reports and upgrade offers for listings you own, invitations to refer another maker.

   How often

   Short, spaced sequences tied to what you did (or left unfinished) on the site.

   How to stop it

   The unsubscribe link in every message, your mail client's unsubscribe button, or the email settings in your account.

3. 03

   Requested resources

   Who gets it

   Only an address someone typed into a form on this site to request a guide.

   What it is

   The guide that was requested.

   How often

   One message.

   How to stop it

   Nothing more is sent. The unsubscribe link in the message blocks the address for good.

4. 04

   Business outreach to product makers

   Who gets it

   The business contact address of a product launched on a public launch platform or startup directory (for example Product Hunt, BetaList, Indie Hackers, SaaSHub or Fazier), or of a recently registered website found in public Certificate Transparency logs.

   What it is

   A short, individually addressed note that names the product and offers a paid listing in the directory.

   How often

   At most three messages per address from this site, at least five days apart. Never to consumer lists, never to bought or rented lists.

   How to stop it

   One click on the unsubscribe link or button, or a reply. The sequence also ends on its own when a message bounces, when you reply, when you create an account, or when your product is listed.

CodeTrendy is one of 3 directories run by the same operator, together with sitepatent.com and mediapronet.com. Each runs its own outreach, so a maker can hear from more than one of them. Unsubscribes, bounces and spam complaints are shared: stopping email from any one of them stops it from all of them.

Safeguards that run on every send

• One-click unsubscribe

  Member, resource and outreach messages carry an unsubscribe link and RFC 8058 List-Unsubscribe headers, so mail clients can show their own unsubscribe button. The one-click unsubscribe works instantly, without a login.

• Suppression list

  Unsubscribes, bounces (hard and soft), failed deliveries and spam complaints are written to a suppression list. Every member, resource and outreach message is checked against it before sending.

• Replies end the sequence

  Any reply from the address we wrote to ends the outreach sequence. Replies that ask us to stop are detected automatically and suppress the address, and for company domains every other address we hold at that domain. Every reply also lands in an inbox we monitor.

• Checked addresses only

  Before the first outreach message, every address passes syntax, domain, mail-server and quality checks. Addresses that fail are never sent to.

• Authenticated mail

  Mail is signed with DKIM and covered by SPF, and the domain publishes a DMARC policy of reject, so forged mail claiming to be from us is refused.

• No list trading

  We never buy, rent or sell email addresses.
