# Double Opt-In for Email

Double opt-in is a confirmation process that requires users to verify their email address before being added to your mailing list or receiving communications. It’s a two-step consent method that helps ensure the validity of email subscriptions and compliance with regulations, such as the GDPR.

Using double opt-in:

- Adds an extra layer of consent validation
- Helps keep your email list clean and high-quality
- Strengthens compliance with data protection laws

> If your company obtains your users' consent in compliance with the **local regulations**, make sure to pass the GDPR opt-in field to Insider. If you want to **stop** collecting and processing the data of an identified user, GDPR opt-in field should have the *false* value. Insider cannot be held liable if these obligations are not fulfilled and reserves the right to seek compensation from your company.
