Authgnosis is building an opt-in email newsletter that keeps BC businesses current on government grant opportunities they could actually use. The foundation is now in place, engineered around consent and privacy from the start: people subscribe on purpose, confirm it themselves, can leave at any time, and every message says who it is from.

• Double opt-in by design: someone asks to subscribe, then confirms from their own inbox before anything else happens – so a subscription is always something the person genuinely chose, and no one can sign someone else up.
• Consent is stored as an audited record in the CRM – when someone confirmed and the exact wording they agreed to – so the newsletter can always show a clear, tamper-evident history, and unsubscribes are honored automatically and permanently.
• The automation that sends the newsletter runs on least privilege: a dedicated sending identity scoped so it can only use its own newsletter mailbox and nothing else, and it writes subscriber records with the narrowest permissions needed – verified end to end.
• Every issue carries only public grant information – program, funder, award range, deadline, and a link to the official page – with clear sender identification and a working unsubscribe in each message. Nothing about any specific business ever appears.
