Privacy & newsletter consent

Creating a RegReporting Network account collects your email address, password (stored as a salted hash, never in plain text), and the professional details you provide (name, job title, organisation, experience and areas of expertise). This data is used to operate your account, verify your email address, and personalise your experience of the platform — including your welcome email, which is sent once, automatically, when your account is created.

Creating an account never subscribes you to the newsletter. That is a separate, optional choice — see below.

The RegReporting Network newsletter is opt-in. You can subscribe from the homepage, the footer, or while creating an account — each place uses the same explicit, unchecked-by-default checkbox. Subscribing requires confirming a link sent to your email address (double opt-in); you are not added to the active mailing list until you confirm.

We record when you subscribed, confirmed, and (if applicable) unsubscribed, along with which page you subscribed from. This is used only to operate the newsletter and to demonstrate that consent was given, not shared with third parties.

Every newsletter email includes a one-click unsubscribe link. Unsubscribing takes effect immediately and stops all further newsletter emails; signing back in or updating your profile never resubscribes you — only submitting the subscribe form again does.

Content on this platform is reference and training material and is not legal or regulatory advice. Always consult the official source. If you have questions about your data, contact an administrator through the Community section. To delete your account and personal data, see Delete your account.
