SUBSCRIBER DATA REVIEW · Workflow idea

Keep subscriber records aligned with what each person has agreed to receive.

For a defined communication purpose, retrieve a subscriber record or prepare a new or updated member record for review. Verify identity and the origin of the details, preserve consent scope and opt-out preferences, avoid adding inferred personal attributes, and require a list owner to approve changes before the record is used for a message or audience selection.

The handoff

A limited subscriber lookup or proposed update with consent evidence and owner approval.

Keep in mind

Subscriber details are personal information and an update can affect future communications. Respect opt-outs and channel-specific permission, verify changes with a trusted source, collect only necessary fields, and review a record before it is included in an audience.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Document contact purposes and data sources

Keep each subscriber field tied to a clear, approved purpose.

Protect consent and unsubscribe preferences

Prevent record changes from silently widening communication permission.

Limit access and retention

Allow only approved staff to see and maintain personal information.

Assign a contact-list owner

Name who reviews record changes and audience eligibility.
