At EmailShot, we take your privacy and data protection seriously. Our 1-click Email Sharing for Gmail tool is designed with your security in mind. Learn how we safeguard your information when sharing emails, particularly regarding mailing list and newsletter unsubscribe links.

EmailShot's Commitment to Privacy

When you use EmailShot to share emails, we ensure that sensitive information, including unsubscribe links, is handled with care. Here's how we protect you and your email recipients:

  1. Removal of Unsubscribe Links: We automatically remove mailing list and newsletter unsubscribe links from shared emails.
  2. Prevention of Accidental Unsubscriptions: This feature prevents unintended unsubscriptions by people who weren't the original email recipients.
  3. Preservation of Email Integrity: While protecting sensitive links, we maintain the essential content of your shared emails.

Protecting your subscriptions and those of your email recipients is crucial. Here's why we take this step:

  • Prevent Unauthorized Actions: Ensure that only the intended recipient can manage their subscriptions.
  • Maintain Data Privacy: Protect personal information associated with subscription management.
  • Avoid Confusion: Eliminate potential misunderstandings when sharing emails with multiple parties.

When you share an email using EmailShot, our system automatically identifies and conceals potential unsubscribe links. This process is seamless and doesn't affect the main content of your email.

If you've arrived at this page after clicking a link in an EmailShot-shared email, it's likely because you've encountered one of our protected links. This is normal and part of our privacy protection feature.

However, if you clicked a regular link within an email and were directed here, we want to know about it. Please report the issue to us so we can investigate and ensure our system is working correctly.

At EmailShot, we continuously strive to enhance our privacy and data protection measures. By removing sensitive links like unsubscribe options, we're taking proactive steps to safeguard your information and that of your email recipients.

Remember, your privacy is our priority. When you use EmailShot for Gmail, you're choosing a tool that values and protects your personal information.
