How do I log in to an account using a Throttle address?

Throttle's biggest fans love to use Throttle for their social media and other online accounts. That way, notifications don't bother you all day; you know they'll come to you in a single daily digest email.

The Throttle browser extension will automatically fill login form fields with your generated address so you don't need to worry about finding it to login.

Won't marketers be unhappy about this?

Throttle is actually great for legitimate senders as well. Here are some benefits they enjoy with their subscribers that use Throttle:

• Automatic Whitelisting — When a subscriber authorizes your newsletter with Throttle, you are automatically whitelisted, so there's no need to request that a user do it manually.
• 100% Deliverability — The holy grail of sending mass mailings: you get 100% deliverability with Throttle users.
• No Spam Reports — A user's first and only step to stop unwanted email is to revoke access, so you don't have to worry about spam reports with Throttle subscribers.
• Higher Conversion Rates — During our testing, something we didn't predict but that we found out very quickly: Throttle users are much more likely to subscribe to your newsletter, because they don't have to worry about vetting your privacy policy first.
• Optimized Delivery Time — The best you can do is average out the best time to send your mass mailings to all of your users, even if that isn't a great time for most of them. Throttle users pick the most convenient time to receive your content.
• Full HTML5 + CSS3 Support — Your email is displayed in the user's supported browser, with nothing stripped out. You can take advantage of all the full HTML5 & CSS3 that you want.

Can I use my own domain for my generated addresses?

Yes. Pro users can use their own domain for generated Throttle addresses. Once set up, it works automatically.

What information does Throttle have access to?
How does Throttle respect my privacy?

Throttle doesn't need access to your email account to do what it does — it stops the problem before it reaches your inbox. This means you don't have to sacrifice your privacy in order to use Throttle. The only data Throttle has access to are the messages you have sent to it. We never sell your data to anyone for any reason.

Will Throttle work with my iCloud, Gmail, etc. account?

Yes! Throttle doesn't even need access to your email account, because it stops the problem before it even reaches your inbox. This means it's compatible with any email account, and you don't have to compromise your privacy to use Throttle.

Can I "Throttle" more than just newsletters?

Absolutely. Throttle's biggest fans love to use Throttle for their social media and other online accounts. This way, notifications don't bother you all day; you know they'll come to you in a single daily digest email.

Has Throttle caught any scammers?

You bet! Just during our beta, some of our users experienced the very first cases:

• When their email address was sold to thousands of spammers (resulted in over 6,000 emails)
• When the sender had a data leak, and spammers stole the addresses (resulted in hundreds of emails)
• When the sender had a software glitch that resulted in over 500 emails

What if I want to migrate my subscriptions away from Throttle at some point?

That's why we offer the custom domain Pro feature. The custom domain page will walk you through setting up a subdomain on one of your own domains to use for your Throttle address. Then all of your addresses will look like this: "XX@throttle.mydomain.com". If you ever want to migrate away, you can just set up a catchall at the domain and forward it along to whichever address you want to continue getting these messages.
