No, but they do it anyway.

I think not – this was our thinking behind adding a checkbox for consent

@Deb Mukherjee I know they do.. I have also done it at one point of my career. But those were the wild wild west days of SaaS. Wanted to know if this still flies.

@rohit, yes, it does. I see it all the time. I requested a demo for Active Campaign and suddenly I start getting emails with articles that supposedly "fit my customer journey".

the devil is in the (privacy policy) details

Add but inform users what they will get once they sign up for a demo.

It seems to work as they have an option to unsubsribe to your email or newsletter if they don't want further updates. Anyways, we added that in our terms of use that any registration will get access to updates, newsletters, et .

@Shashank Aggarwal not talking about legality. More from ethical front.

I think it's fine to send some form of nurture campaign if someone signed up for a demo, but a full-blown marketing campaign is weird unless they specifically opted into it

Absolutely agree with @Sid, the problem is not adding someone to a newsletter...The problem is to set expectations early on and give the potential recipient full control over how they want to communicate

@rohit I will buy it, if content is legit
