marc33 Topic Author Offline Moderator Posts: 271 Thank you received: 55	Were all guests sent an opt-in email because we have some of their data? Our VPM asked because he just learned about this and he never received an opt in email. I told him members were grandfathered in. Couldn’t find in support docs or forums.

Moving forward, what is likely is that non-member information will be retained for a limited time in the near future. Brian and I and the rest of the FTH Ambassadors have been discussing limiting the retention time of non-member information, and I am edging very close to implementing some code related to that. (Still mulling over the implementation in my mind.)

We have discussed what the time limits should be, but I am sure that will probably be discussed more after I actually implement something. Also, we have discussed what should happen after the time limit has passed. I believe Brian favors deletion of the data... I am more inclined to want to just deactivate those people with an opt-in email sent to them at that point to allow them to "re-opt-in". (If the do not opt-in again, then they are deleted.) We could end up with a hybrid approach, also. I think the deletion approach is probably fine for people on the Prospects and Guests lists, but I think the "re-opt-in" approach is probably better for people on the Former Members list. :unsure:
