ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The requirement to maintain proof of permission for each subscriber places an ongoing documentation burden on customers and creates a verifiable standard against which ConvertKit can assess compliance.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Customers must actively collect and retain permission records for every individual subscriber, not just operate on the assumption that permission exists.
