I thought the same thing because I have been getting emails from Glossybox 'brands' and Byrdie without signing up for them.

Me too.. I was wondering why I was getting emails from them...grrr....not cool!!

 
Weird. I haven't gotten any Byrdie emails. I really did like that box though.

I wish I could have gotten the NAP box just for that mascara! One of my favorite bloggers loves it.

I have received two emails from Byrdie already...

 
I haven't gotten any spam from them yet, thankfully. I didn't sign up for it, don't send me your emails even if I've purchased from you. It's a huge turn off.

Ever since I've signed up for sub boxes, the amount of spam I get is out of this world. I don't think it's just glossy that sells info, I'm sure that most of them do.

I've subbed to Ipsy, Birchbox, Beauty Army, Julep, Pop Sugar Must Have, Sample Society, and Glossybox, and the only spam I get are from brands featured in Glossybox at around the same time that they are featured. Most subscription companies actually don't sell your information because that jeopardizes their reputation and is a privacy violation.

 
I know some companies will display a check box option if you want to share your info with relevant companies, so if it's included in their TOS they might be able to circumvent that. I am not well versed in how those things work, but it would make sense to me as how some would get away with it. I always opt out when given an obvious choice.

That said, I have heard some people say that they have been able to, over the phone, use their dots to pay to restart their sub and others saying that they had no luck, so you CAN always wait until you have the dots and give it a shot, although I think it's hit or miss.

I do it almost monthly, then I use ebates and try to find a promo code. I wait until I can see most of the items in the box and I've never lost my dots, in fact I got this box free. You do have to have an active subscription to use the dots. I wait until I have enough dots and then stay subscribed to use my dots the next month. Also if I really like a box I buy a gift box and use ebates makes it $12.75 can't beat that!
Thanks for explaining this all to me! I should have been doing this all along...oh well, next month I'll try it out.

Also just gonna add that I too am annoyed by the Byrdie email I got. Yeah, it was easy to unsub, but still. Make sure you hit the "I did not sign up for this" option when you unsub. Probably no one looks at it but at least it made me feel like I was registering a tiny (the tiniest?) little complaint. lol

Yeah, that's super annoying.  I didn't get the Byrdie email, but my guess is that it got caught in my spam filters.  I'll actually keep an eye out before blindly emptying my spam folder and, if I see a Byrdie email, I'll be sure to make a complaint as well.  It's one thing to sell a mailing list, it's another thing for me to be paying for you to sell my information...

 
To be fair, there's no indication that GB sold our info to anyone. The Byrdie newsletters are obviously in conjunction with the collaboration and might've been mentioned in fine print somewhere none of us bothered to read. I've personally never received spam from any other brands that have been featured in GB.

If you entered the contest they were having last month, I think there was some fine print about e-mails.

Makes sense.

Ditto on the Sesha email, and I don't enter their contests. Grr.

I didn't enter either. Grr indeed.

I wonder why I haven't gotten any of the emails.  It made sense about the contest, since I never entered it, but now it's just confusing.  I am sure it's in the fine print somewhere, but I really still don't like it when companies bury things like this in the fine print.   :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I still love Glossy though. Damn you, makeup, why can I not resist your siren's call?
