Developer newsletter
The developer newsletter: confirmed before it starts, one click to end, and the shortest list of data that makes it work.
1. What the newsletter is
The developer newsletter is written for people who build on the SIDES LABS API. It carries API changes worth knowing about before they reach you, new developer resources, and what we have learned running the platform.
It is optional and separate. It is not the same as the marketing consent, and neither implies the other. You do not need an account to subscribe, and subscribing does not create one.
2. How you get on the list
Entering an address does not subscribe it. We send a confirmation mail first, and only a confirmed address is ever added. That is not a formality: without it, anybody could put somebody else's address on a mailing list.
An unconfirmed request expires on its own. If the confirmation mail never arrives, nothing happens and nothing is kept.
3. What leaves our servers
The newsletter is composed and sent in our mail provider's system, so the mailing list lives there as well as here. What is transferred is deliberately narrow: your e-mail address, your language, and the unsubscribe link for your subscription. Not your name, not your company, not which partner you belong to, not when you consented.
The consent itself stays here. Our record is the one that decides whether you are on the list; the provider's copy follows it, and never the other way round.
4. Unsubscribing
Every issue carries a one-click unsubscribe link that works without signing in and without a confirmation step. It takes effect immediately, with effect for the future.
If a mail to your address bounces permanently, we stop sending to it and add it to a suppression list. That entry holds the address, the reason and the timestamps, and nothing else; it stays until it is lifted, because removing it would mean mailing an address that told us to stop.
5. The record we keep
Your subscription stores the version of this document that was in force when you asked for it — not the version current at the moment a mail goes out. A record that moves with the document proves nothing about what you agreed to.
Unsubscribing removes you from the list and keeps the consent record, marked revoked, for the same reason the marketing consent does.
