Zero tolerance for spam
tinysend is built for legitimate newsletters. We have zero tolerance for spam, unsolicited emails, or abuse. We comply with the CAN-SPAM Act, GDPR, and other email regulations.
What counts as spam
- Sending emails to people who didn’t subscribe or opt in
- Buying, renting, or selling email lists
- Sending deceptive subject lines or “from” addresses
- Not including a working unsubscribe link (we add this automatically)
- Not honoring unsubscribe requests promptly
- Impersonating others or misrepresenting your identity
- Phishing, malware distribution, or illegal content
How we prevent spam
Free tier:
- All posts require manual approval before sending
- Limited to 100 emails per month
- Rate limited to prevent abuse
All tiers:
- Double opt-in for subscribers (confirmation email required)
- Automatic unsubscribe links in every email
- Blocked disposable email domains
- Monitoring of bounce rates and spam complaints
- Sender domain verification and warm-up for new senders
Subscriber consent
You must have explicit consent from subscribers before adding them to your list:
- They signed up via your newsletter page
- They opted in through your website or product
- They explicitly requested to be added
You cannot:
- Import purchased or rented lists
- Add people from scraped websites or directories
- Add business cards you collected at events (without explicit opt-in)
- Assume consent from existing customer relationships (unless clearly stated)
Required elements
Every email must include (we handle this automatically):
- Accurate “from” name and email address
- Clear subject line that matches content
- Physical mailing address (required by CAN-SPAM)
- One-click unsubscribe link
Monitoring and enforcement
We monitor:
- Bounce rates (high bounces = bad list quality)
- Spam complaint rates (subscribers marking as spam)
- Engagement rates (opens, clicks)
- Subscriber growth patterns (sudden spikes = suspicious)
Violations result in:
- Warning for first minor offense
- Temporary suspension for repeat offenses
- Permanent ban for serious violations (spam, phishing, illegal content)
- No refunds for accounts terminated due to spam
Reporting abuse
If you receive spam from a tinysend user:
- Use the unsubscribe link in the email (we process these automatically)
- Report abuse: abuse@tinysend.com
- Include full email headers if possible
We investigate all abuse reports within 24 hours.
Best practices
To maintain good sender reputation:
- Only email people who explicitly opted in
- Send quality content regularly (not sporadic mass blasts)
- Remove unengaged subscribers periodically
- Make unsubscribe easy and obvious
- Respond to subscriber complaints promptly
- Keep your list clean (remove bounces)
- Use clear, honest subject lines
