Trust & Privacy

Unsubscribe, Opt-Out, and Data Deletion

March 19, 2026

Some features are exciting to ship. Others are just right to ship. This one's in the second category, and honestly, that's fine. Trust isn't built on flashy announcements.

Here's what we added.

Unsubscribe links in notification emails

Every submission notification email now has an Unsubscribe link in the footer.

If you're a recipient and you don't want these anymore, one click takes you to a confirmation page and you're done. No hunting through settings, no emailing anyone, no waiting. You're removed from that form's recipient list immediately.

Under the hood, each link is HMAC-signed and scoped to a specific form and address. It can't be forged or repurposed, and it does exactly one thing for exactly one recipient.

A single toggle to pause everything

Sometimes you don't want to unsubscribe from one form. You want to turn off all notification emails while you deal with something else.

Head to Settings → Notifications and flip the toggle off. That's it. No notifications go out, from any form, until you turn it back on. Your per-form configuration is preserved exactly as-is; this is just a master switch sitting on top of it.

Your data leaves when you do

When you delete your Formtorch account, we delete your data. All of it: projects, forms, submissions, delivery history, the works.

This happens automatically via Clerk's user.deleted webhook. We verify the event signature before touching anything, then cascade-delete everything tied to your workspace. No orphaned records, no submissions floating in a database you can no longer reach.


None of this is novel. Unsubscribe links and data deletion on account closure are table stakes that just weren't built yet. Now they are, and we can move forward knowing the foundation is solid.
