UnsubCentral is a sophisticated software in terms of functionality, but simple enough for a novice to use. I’m not very technical, and I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly I can set up and manage suppression lists and unsubscribe links.

CAN-SPAM Questions and Email Compliance FAQs
Practice email marketing with confidence.
UnsubCentral acts as a centralized environment for all email suppression data. Your internal teams can store and share opt-out lists in a timely, secure and convenient way. Your affiliates can access this environment from their preferred platforms, too. Having one system (that’s extremely easy to use) means all your partners will be more inclined to follow the rules.
When it comes to maintaining hundreds or thousands of customer email addresses, manual recordkeeping is bound to create errors and oversights. And with opt-out lists originating from different campaigns, on top of different sources, even the most organized teams would have trouble keeping files current.
Manually distributing your opt-out lists is another major concern. If you don’t have a tool in place to hash or encrypt the email addresses in your files, you are exposing yourself to rogue partners. These are bad actors who might sell, rent or otherwise exploit the plain-text data you are sharing, for their own financial gain.
So what happens if you (or one of your partners) accidentally (or intentionally) email an individual who has asked to be removed from your mailing lists? Each email sent in violation of the CAN-SPAM Act can incur penalties of up to $16,000. In certain cases, criminal penalties can be imposed.
Brands use UnsubCentral to simplify email compliance and opt-out management. Affiliate networks also use UnsubCentral to proactively monitor the affiliates/publishers within their networks. Learn more about UnsubCentral’s benefits for brands and for affiliate networks.

MD5 is an algorithm, used for its cryptographic hash function. For the purposes of email marketing, MD5 is the industry standard for secure suppression file distribution. The application converts sensitive email data into “hashed” numbers. In this way, customer lists and opt-outs lists can be shared for scrubbing without compromising confidential addresses.
UnsubCentral makes it easy to pull unique activity reports, outlining campaign statistics and compliance metrics. With just a few clicks, you can tell (for example) how many unsubscribes a specific partner campaign generated, as compared to open or click rates. You can also see how often partners are downloading your suppression lists and create automated alerts that notify you when partners fail to comply.
