How do I export my contacts, and who owns my email list?

The list is yours. Download it as a CSV file whenever you like.

  1. Open Contacts

    Contacts holds everyone who has given you their email address, with a running total at the top. They arrive in two ways: the sign-up box on your link-in-bio page, or claiming one of your free downloads.

  2. Narrow the list, if you want to

    You can search by name or email, filter by where somebody came from, filter by whether they said yes to news and tips, and sort by newest, name or email. Whatever you are looking at is what gets exported.

  3. Press Export CSV

    The file downloads there and then, named with today's date. There is no waiting, no request and no limit on how often you do it.

  4. What is in the file

    Seven columns: name, email, source, consent, consent recorded at, consent withdrawn at, and added at. It opens in any spreadsheet, so you can read it, sort it or keep it as your own record.

  5. What consent means here

    Saying yes to news and tips is a record with a date and a source, not a switch. That is why you cannot tick it for somebody: the row states what actually happened, and a withdrawal is recorded too. Adding a contact by hand is the one place you record their agreement yourself, and the date you did it is kept.

  6. Who owns the list

    You do. It is not locked to us, there is no cap on how many contacts you keep, and you can take the whole thing away today. If you delete a contact, their consent record goes with them.
