Anti-spam policy

Every email SitePatent sends, and how to stop it.

SitePatent (sitepatent.com) sends four kinds of email. This page lists each one honestly: who gets it, how often, and the one click that ends it. If something we sent does not match this page, tell us and we will fix it.

Stop all email to my addressReport a message

What we send

  1. 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, or pause all email there: a pause stops everything in this stream except billing and security notices (receipts, payment problems, password resets, claim notices). An address that hard-bounced or reported our mail as spam gets nothing, security notices included. A bounce block is lifted only when the owner proves the mailbox works by verifying it or signing in with it; a spam report is never lifted.

  2. 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, plus at most one traffic report per live listing every 30 days.
    How to stop it
    The unsubscribe link in every message or the email settings in your account, where each type can be switched off or all of it paused. Your mail client's unsubscribe button switches off the type of message it was pressed on.

  3. 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. Business outreach to product makers

    Who gets it
    The contact address of a product launched on a public launch platform or startup directory (for example Product Hunt, BetaList, Indie Hackers, SaaSHub or Fazier), listed on a public revenue leaderboard or covered in the tech press, 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 your mail client's unsubscribe button, the unsubscribe link in the message (it opens a page where you confirm), 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.

SitePatent is one of 3 directories run by the same operator, together with codetrendy.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. That button works instantly, without a login. The link in the message opens a page where you confirm, also without a login. A link alone never unsubscribes, because mail scanners follow links.

  • 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.

Got a message you did not want?

Forward it, with full headers if you can, to [email protected]. A person reads every report. Your address is suppressed as soon as we read it, and we check how it reached our list.

Blocklist operators and mailbox providers can use the same address. How we handle personal data is described in our Privacy Policy.
