Why Cordary Now Needs Your Email

Every Cordary account now needs an email address. Here's why, what we'll send you, what stays your choice, and what happens if you'd rather not give one.

In this post

Until now, an email address was optional in Cordary, and almost nobody added one. That left us with one way to reach you: inside the app. If you weren't there, you missed it.

So from now on, every Cordary account needs an email address that you confirm.

Why we're asking

Some things you shouldn't have to log in to find out:

  • a change to our Terms or Privacy Policy
  • a change to how your plan or weekly allowance works
  • a security notice, or a problem that affected your account

An email on every account means we can tell you about these when they happen, not the next time you open Cordary.

What we'll send you

Account emails. Only about your account and changes to Cordary that affect you. These come whatever else you choose, and they're never advertising.

The emails you choose. Everything else is off unless you turn it on:

  • Before we delete a server's data: a warning if Cordary is removed from a server, before its data is deleted.
  • Allowance refilled: when your weekly allowance resets, only after a week you hit your limit.
  • Feedback requests: now and then, to ask what you think of Cordary.

Each of these has a one-click unsubscribe, and you can change them anytime in Settings › Email.

We never sell your address or share it with advertisers.

How to add yours

You'll see a short screen next time you open Cordary (new accounts see it when they sign up).

  • Use my Discord email. Cordary fills in the address on your Discord account. You're the one giving it to us, so you can change it before you continue. If Discord has already confirmed it, you're done: there's no link to open.
  • Or type it. We'll send one link to confirm it. The screen moves on by itself once you click it.

If you already use Cordary

You have 14 days to add and confirm an address. Until then everything works as usual, and you'll see a reminder at the top of the app with the date. You can choose Not now and carry on.

After 14 days, Cordary asks for the address before you can keep using it. Nothing is lost: your servers, chats and plan are all still there, and everything works again the moment your address is confirmed.

If you'd rather not

That's your call. You can delete your account at any time from Settings › Account, or from the email screen itself. If you're on a paid plan, you can also manage or cancel it from that screen.
