Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 16, 2026

Maximailist (“we,” “our,” or “us”) operates the Maximailist email marketing platform at maximailist.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our platform. Please read this policy carefully. If you disagree with its terms, please discontinue use of the platform.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you register, we collect your name, email address, company name, and password (stored as a secure bcrypt hash). We never store your password in plaintext.

Profile & Settings

We collect information you provide in your profile and settings, including your sending domain, default sender name and email, brokerage/company details, and billing information processed securely through Stripe.

Contact Data

When you import or add contacts to your account, we store the contact information you provide (names, email addresses, and any custom fields). You are responsible for ensuring you have proper consent to store and email these contacts.

Email Campaign Data

We store the content of email campaigns you create, including subject lines, email HTML, and campaign settings. We also track campaign performance metrics: opens, clicks, bounces, unsubscribes, and complaints.

Technical Data

We automatically collect standard log data including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages visited. This data helps us maintain platform security and improve performance.

Third-Party Credentials

If you connect third-party services (such as AWS SES credentials or ZeroBounce API keys), we store these credentials encrypted using AES-256 encryption. We never transmit these credentials to third parties other than the intended service.

2. How We Use Your Information

Platform Operations

We use your information to provide, maintain, and improve the Maximailist platform — including sending emails on your behalf, tracking campaign performance, managing your contacts, and processing your subscription.

Communications

We may send you transactional emails (account confirmations, password resets, billing receipts) and occasional product updates. You can opt out of product update emails at any time from your account settings.

Security & Fraud Prevention

We use your information to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, unauthorized access, and abuse of our platform.

Legal Compliance

We may use your information to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal processes, including responding to lawful requests from public authorities.

3. Email Sending & Deliverability

Your Responsibility

You are solely responsible for ensuring that all email campaigns sent through Maximailist comply with applicable anti-spam laws, including CAN-SPAM (United States), CASL (Canada), and GDPR (European Union). You must have proper consent from all recipients before sending.

Bounce & Complaint Processing

We automatically process email bounces and spam complaints received from AWS SES via SNS notifications. Hard-bounced addresses and addresses that report spam are automatically suppressed and will not receive future campaigns.

Unsubscribes

Every email sent through Maximailist includes a one-click unsubscribe link. Unsubscribe requests are processed immediately and permanently. You cannot manually override an unsubscribe.

4. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We Do Not Sell Your Data

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information or your contacts' information to third parties.

Service Providers

We share limited data with trusted service providers who help us operate the platform: Amazon Web Services (infrastructure and email delivery), Stripe (payment processing), and ZeroBounce (email verification, if you configure it). Each provider is bound by their own privacy policies and data processing agreements.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or government regulation, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.

Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice on our platform prior to such a transfer.

5. Data Security

Encryption

All data is transmitted over HTTPS using TLS encryption. Sensitive credentials (API keys) are encrypted at rest using AES-256. Passwords are hashed using bcrypt with an appropriate cost factor.

Infrastructure

The platform is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure with automated backups. AWS maintains SOC 2, ISO 27001, and other security certifications.

Access Controls

Access to production systems is restricted to authorized personnel. We use principle of least privilege for all internal access.

No Absolute Guarantee

Despite our security measures, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

6. Data Retention

Active Accounts

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services.

Account Deletion

You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us at [email protected]. We will delete your data within 30 days of receiving a verified deletion request, except where retention is required by law.

Backup Retention

Deleted data may persist in encrypted backups for up to 90 days before being purged.

7. Your Rights

Access & Portability

You have the right to access the personal information we hold about you and to request a copy of your data in a portable format.

Correction

You have the right to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information. Most data can be updated directly from your account settings.

Deletion

You have the right to request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal retention requirements.

CASL Rights (Canadian Users)

If you are located in Canada, you have rights under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and CASL, including the right to withdraw consent for processing of your personal information.

GDPR Rights (EU/UK Users)

If you are located in the European Union or United Kingdom, you have rights under GDPR including the right to object to processing, the right to restrict processing, and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

8. Cookies
