Customer Privacy and Unsubscribes
We take customer privacy seriously and make it easy for you to handle customer data responsibly.
How We Protect Customer Data
What we collect:
- Email addresses (for sending recovery emails)
- Cart contents (to show what they left behind)
- Basic engagement data (email opens and clicks)
What we DON'T collect:
- Payment details or credit card information
- Personal documents or sensitive data
- Unnecessary tracking information
Data protection:
- We never sell customer data to anyone
- All data is encrypted and securely stored
- We extend GDPR and CCPA protections to all users globally
- Customers can request complete data deletion at any time
About Recovery Emails and Consent
Cart recovery emails are considered transactional emails related to a customer's shopping activity, not marketing emails. This means they don't require prior consent like marketing newsletters do.
However, customers can always opt out if they want to.
How Unsubscribes Work
Automatic unsubscribe process:
- Every recovery email has an unsubscribe link
- One click immediately stops all future emails
- No login required, no complex forms
- Customers are permanently removed unless they opt back in
What happens when someone unsubscribes:
- They immediately stop receiving recovery emails
- Their email is added to a "do not email" list
- They can still shop normally on your website
- You can still send order confirmations and receipts
Managing Customer Requests
If a customer wants their data deleted:
- Contact support@maicoro.com with their email address
- We'll completely remove all their data from our system
- This usually takes 1-2 business days
If they want to see their data:
- We can provide a report of what information we have
- This includes their email, cart history, and engagement data
Best Practices
Keep customers happy:
- Don't email too frequently (our default timing is good)
- Make your recovery emails helpful, not pushy
- Respect unsubscribe requests immediately
- Never try to re-add unsubscribed customers
Monitor your metrics:
- If unsubscribe rates go above 2%, review your email content
- High spam complaints mean customers feel your emails aren't relevant
Remember: Respecting customer privacy and preferences builds trust and actually improves your email performance over time.
