GDPR and Automated Emails: What You Need to Know

As a SaaS founder, you need to balance personalized outreach with privacy compliance. Here's how PostSignup helps you stay compliant.

Key GDPR Requirements for Email

  • Lawful basis for processing: Legitimate interest for customer communication
  • Data minimization: Only collect what you need
  • Transparency: Users know how their data is used
  • Right to erasure: Users can request data deletion

How PostSignup Ensures Compliance

Send Only Permission

We only request permission to send emails. We never access your inbox content, contacts, or calendar. This minimizes data exposure significantly.

Built-in Unsubscribe

Every email includes an unsubscribe link. When users opt out, they're automatically added to your suppression list.

Audit Trail

Complete logging of every email sent, including timestamps and recipient information. Perfect for compliance audits.

Data Export

Export all your data at any time. You maintain full control and ownership.

Best Practices

  • Always include your company name and contact info
  • Honor unsubscribe requests immediately
  • Keep records of consent where applicable
  • Review your email content for compliance regularly
