Can this checklist guarantee I will not receive spam?
No. It helps identify common warning signs, but no checklist can guarantee how a sender will behave later.

Check the warning signs
Select the signs you notice before submitting an email address.
What to do before submitting
If a signup feels risky, slow down. Review the privacy policy, remove optional marketing consent, use an alias for ongoing access, or use a temporary email only when the task is low-risk and short-lived.
FAQ
What is a high spam-risk signup?
A high-risk signup often has unclear privacy terms, forced marketing consent, unknown ownership, giveaway-style collection, or suspicious sender behavior.
What should I do with medium risk?
Consider using an alias, checking the privacy policy, unchecking marketing boxes, or using temporary email if the task is low-risk and short-lived.
Should I use temporary email for purchases?
Usually no. Purchases need receipts, support, delivery updates, and recovery, so a stable email or alias is safer.
Does the checklist submit my answers?
No. The checklist is client-side only and does not require accounts, tracking, or paid APIs.
