Corrections for senders

A sender can ask us to fix or remove a report. Here is what we publish about senders and how a correction works.

If your company is on coldslop, someone forwarded us an email you sent them, and a moderator found that it follows a template.

What we publish about senders

  • Your domain and company name, the product the emails pitch, and the templates they follow.
  • Redacted copies of the emails, with the date you sent each one and whether we could verify the DKIM signature from your domain.
  • The prompt that most likely produced a template. We label it as a reconstruction with a confidence level. Your real prompt may differ.

What we never publish

  • The names or addresses of the people who send on your behalf. The signature becomes {sender_name}.
  • Anything about the recipients.
  • Accusations about your company. We show the emails and leave the judgement to the reader.

When you can ask for a correction

  • You did not send it. Someone spoofed your domain, or a reseller or agency sent it in your name.
  • We attributed a template to you that you never used.
  • A report contains personal data, such as a name we missed. We hide that report at once while we look.
  • You want to add context, for example that you have stopped the campaign.

What happens after you write to us

  1. Send a correction. Name the domain and, if you can, the campaign or email. Add an email address if you want a reply.
  2. While a dispute from a sender is open, we ask search engines not to index the sender page.
  3. A moderator reviews the case. Personal data gets an answer within a day, and other cases within two working days.
  4. If we got it wrong, we fix or remove the report. If no publishable report is left, we remove the sender page.

Corrections are free, and nobody can pay us to remove a report. We do not remove accurate, verified reports because they are unflattering. To stop new reports, stop sending the campaign.
