HOW IT WORKS

A simple two-step process

1

Initial sign-up

Subscribers fill out your opt-in form — on your website, a social campaign or at an event.

2

Email confirmation

Mailpro sends an automated email asking them to confirm, verifying the address and their intent.

3

Verified & compliant

Once confirmed, details are stored securely — clear evidence of consent for GDPR.
