Questions
Can I stop receiving this?
The footer link removes you on the spot. Your address then sits on a do-not-send list so it cannot be added back by accident.
Will I start getting mail from other people?
No. The list is not a product and never has been.
How many emails will I get?
The letter goes out once a week. Between issues you may also get an offer from one of our advertising partners.
Do you see what I click?
Opens and clicks are recorded. Nothing else, and nothing is shared.
Who puts it together?
Spif Panel is written by hand, not assembled by a tool. Replies reach a real inbox.
Will I get sales pitches?
Occasionally. Offers are marked clearly, and we do not vouch for what happens once you leave our email.
How regular is it
The letter comes once a week.
Get it weekly
