There seems to be a lot of misinformation flying around, which is causing confusion and making it harder to navigate the changes.

I've heard AWeber and ConvertKit have this capability. If MailChimp has, I can't find it!<br /><br />My view is that if you're confident you have a record of consent, you don't need to send reconfirmation emails. But you will need to review and update your contact and comment forms, and possibly your email signup form.Iolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199141868703826943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-79672888872133634872018-05-24T14:38:41.759-07:002018-05-24T14:38:41.759-07:00Yes, it definitely affects us, even if we're n...Yes, it definitely affects us, even if we're not in the EU. <br /><br />Having said that, most of the rules are sensible.

I'm not sure what Bluehost and/or Mail Poet collect and for how long or how they keep it... I did receive a message form Mail Poet saying I don't need to email my whole list asking people to opt in again. They tell me a bunch of stuff I have to do, but swear that's not one of them... I've received some requests to re opt in from newsletters I subscribed to in the past, but none of the big names have sent me anything (Ann Voskapmp, Max Lucado, Paulo Coelho, Nicholas Sparks, AutismSpeaks, The Mighty...). Maybe they can see who's in the EU and who's not? Hmm... Thanks for sharing what you've learned so far.
