Because Series Reminder is built and run by a solo software engineer, I treat communication differently than giant corporate platforms. You won't find spam, clickbait recommendations, or aggressive affiliate marketing in your inbox. Below is a complete, transparent guide to exactly how, why, and when I will email you.
Direct Newsletters from the Developer
The primary purpose of my newsletter is to maintain an open, direct line of communication between you and me. When I release major new features—such as the TV Time importer or the newly released notification engine with custom delivery times—I send out a brief newsletter to explain how they work and how to use them.
I also use the newsletter to discuss product changes honestly. Because this platform needs to cover server costs and ongoing engineering time to stay alive, I occasionally share open updates about the business side of Series Reminder—such as adjusting favorites limits or introducing new supporter options. You can typically expect these developer updates about once or twice a month.
The Email Privacy Promise
Your email address is strictly used to run your account. Series Reminder does not sell, trade, or share your contact details with third-party data brokers, ad networks, or marketing lists. Period.
Managing Your Preferences: Two Separate Email Settings
To give you total control over your inbox, Series Reminder splits your incoming emails into two entirely separate settings. You can toggle each of these independently on your Account Preferences page:
- Developer Newsletter: Located under your profile's email configuration section, this toggle controls direct, personal updates from me. Turning this off stops general platform announcements, surveys, and roadmap updates.
- Email Series Notifications: Located under your notification preferences, this toggle controls your automated TV episode alerts. Toggling this off stops daily digest emails listing upcoming episodes from your watchlist.
Note: Disabling your automated daily emails only stops email-based delivery. You can safely turn email notifications off and continue tracking your favorites (up to 15 shows free) using any of our other channels, such as your iCal calendar feed, personal RSS feed, Discord webhooks, or Pushover mobile alerts.
If you ever have feedback about email frequency or want to request a feature, please feel free to contact me directly. I read and reply to every message!
