Change your address
New email address? You enter it yourself. Your subscriptions move with you, so there is nothing to sign up for again. The new address is confirmed once — so that nobody can enter an address that isn't theirs.
For you as a reader
Your address belongs to you. Even on our list.
You signed up for a newsletter. What that means for you, why an account of your own is entirely optional and how to walk away at any time — here it is, without the fine print.
✓ An account is optional, never required
✓ Unsubscribe in one click
✓ No questions, no hurdles
Why you hear from us
Because you said yes. Twice.
You entered your address in a sign-up form — and then confirmed in an email that the address is really yours. Only that second click added you. Without it nothing would have happened, and your address would not have counted on any list.
That is not a coincidence, it is how the software is built. ieCRM is the system behind this newsletter, and it is built so that nobody ends up on a list without doing something about it. We call that fair by design: fair behaviour is not a promise that can be broken, it is built into the machinery.
Optional
You can have an account. You don't have to.
The newsletter works without one. You read it, and when you've had enough you unsubscribe with one click from any message. That needs no account and no sign-in.
An account is an offer, not a price you pay. It pays off if you take more than one newsletter, if you change your address, or if you want to look up for yourself what is stored about you. Anyone who doesn't need that misses nothing.
Why it takes a sign-in
We could put a link in every newsletter that opens your account without a password. Convenient — but wrong: newsletters get forwarded, and they should be. Anyone passing the message on would be passing on their own access with it. So a newsletter contains no way into your account. You open your account with your own password — only you.
The unsubscribe link in the email does exactly one thing: unsubscribe you. Nothing else.-
1
Without an account
You get what you asked for. Unsubscribing works from every message, instantly and without questions. Changes go by replying to the sender.

With an account
You set a password and then manage everything yourself: address, language, each individual subscription. Without asking and without waiting for a reply.

Decide later
Nothing has to be settled today. An account can be set up at any time — and deleted again just as easily, without your subscription disappearing with it.
What an account gives you
One place for everything that concerns you.
If you decide in favour of one, you get a personal area. There you can see and change what is stored about you — without asking us and without waiting for a reply.
Choose your language
You decide which language you read in. If an issue exists in your language, you get it in your language — without having to ask for it.
Manage subscriptions
You see every newsletter you subscribed to, listed one by one. Keep one, cancel another. There is no all-or-nothing here.
See what is stored
Name, address, language, your subscriptions: you look it up instead of asking for it. What you see is everything that is held about you.
Correct your details
Misspelled name, outdated town, details that no longer fit — you fix them directly. And how much you provide at all stays your call.
Delete your account
Want to leave for good? One path, one click. You decide whether everything really goes, or whether a single subscription you still like stays alive.
fair by design
Built into the software — not buried in the terms.
These points are not a statement of intent. They are built into ieCRM, which is why they hold for everyone who works with it.
- No entry without confirmation An address only counts once it has been confirmed by email. Unconfirmed addresses receive nothing.
- Unsubscribe on every path In every message, in your account, at any time. One click, no questions and no «are you sure?» loop.
- Belonging is not subscribing Being part of a group, a course or a club does not get you a newsletter. That still takes your yes.
- Every subscription cancels on its own You leave one newsletter without losing the others. No all-or-nothing.
- Your language counts If an issue exists in your language, that is what you get. Your choice in the account decides, not our assumption.
- Deleted means deleted When you close your account, it is closed. Not «paused» in a way that starts sending again later.
- No access travels in the mail Newsletters are meant to be forwarded. That's why none of them carries a link that opens your account without a password.
- No account required Reading and unsubscribing work without one. Whoever wants an account gains options — whoever doesn't loses none.
The other case
Don't remember signing up?
Then your address most likely came across from an existing relationship — as a customer, as a member, from an earlier mailing list.
Even then, exactly the same applies to you: your account, your details, your way out. The only difference is how your address reached us. What you can do with it is identical.
And if you would rather not be here, one click ends it. No reason required, no email to the operator, no form to fill in. That is the whole point: leaving has to be as easy as staying — otherwise it isn't a fair system.
Still not sure?
Every message states at the foot why you are receiving it and which list it came from. If you want to know more precisely, set up an account and you get the same information in full — including the day the address was entered. None of that is required: to leave, the unsubscribe link is enough.
Just want out? One click in the email and it's done.
ieCRM
Fair isn't a marketing claim. It's construction.
ieCRM is a Swiss system for contacts and newsletters, self-hosted and open to inspection. Whoever writes with it cannot take control away from you — the software simply doesn't allow it.
