Email Alerts: What You Get and What We Keep

RacknerdTracker can email you when something happens in the RackNerd store. This page explains each kind of alert, how often you will hear from us, and what we store about you.

The alerts you can choose

  • Flash sales, Black Friday and other sale deals. One email the minute a plan from that sale appears, while it is in stock.
  • Price drops. An email when a plan gets cheaper, even by a cent. These are grouped, so a busy day gives you one email, not twenty.
  • Weekly summary. One email a week with the past week's new plans, restocks, price drops and sell-outs. If nothing happened, nothing is sent.
  • One plan. On a plan's page you can ask to be told if its price drops or if it sells out, or, for a sold-out plan, if it comes back. You get one email, then the watch switches itself off.
  • Plans that match. Choose a type, a top price, a minimum amount of RAM or a location, and which events you care about: new plans, restocks, price drops or sell-outs.

There is a daily limit on how many alert emails one person receives, so a busy day cannot flood your inbox.

Confirming and leaving

After you sign up we send one confirmation email. Nothing else is sent until you click its link, and a sign-up that is not confirmed within an hour is deleted. Every alert has a link to change what you receive and a one-click unsubscribe link.

What we keep

  • Your email address and which alerts you chose.
  • When you signed up and confirmed, and a record of the emails sent to you, so that we do not send the same alert twice.
  • The IP address, country and browser details from your sign-up and changes. We use them to spot abuse, and they are not shown to anyone else.

When you unsubscribe we stop sending. We do not sell your address or give it to anyone else.

The buy buttons in alerts are affiliate links: if you buy through them, RacknerdTracker may earn a commission from RackNerd, at no extra cost to you. That is how the site pays for itself.
