Frequently asked questions

Is the unsubscribe still carried out?
Yes. The survey is purely for feedback; the unsubscribe itself happens independently and remains valid at all times.
Why offer a lower frequency?
Many unsubscribes are caused by emails arriving too often. A less frequent delivery can retain subscribers who remain interested in principle.
