Have you seen an increase in your e-mail open rates in Q4 2021/Q1 2022? If you have, it is due to Apple's new "Mail Privacy Protection" policy - a new policy that prevents e-mail marketers from using invisible pixels to collect information from recipients.
The feature is now available for users of Apple’s Mail app for:
- iPhone
- iPad
- Mac Computers
- Apple Watch
What does this new policy do? It allows an Apple device user to mask...
- When and where they open an e-mail.
- What device is used to open an e-mail.
- Other online activity linked to that device.
Fast Facts From CNBC's Article: How Apple’s upcoming e-mail privacy update could change what’s in your inbox.
- In the past, data from an e-mail was loaded only when the recipient opened the e-mail and downloaded the e-mail’s images, which happened automatically in most cases.
- This data included a pixel, which allowed your e-mail provider to detect that the e-mail was opened, what device was used, and sometimes where the subscriber was located when they opened the e-mail.
- With Mail Privacy Protection, Apple Mail preloads images and content of e-mails you send — including the tracking pixel — regardless of if the recipient actually opened the e-mail or not.
Other Key Points:
- Apple’s new e-Mail Privacy Protection policy is now forcing marketers and publishers who use e-mail to reach their subscriber base to rethink some of the ways they’ve measured, monetized, or used e-mail.
- Consumers might eventually notice a difference in the marketing e-mails they are getting — and may see brands reaching them in other ways outside the inbox, like texting.
