Why Email Address Protection Matters

In Plain English

Spammers use automated software to scan websites looking for publicly visible email addresses. Once an address has been collected, it may be added to mailing lists or targeted with unwanted marketing emails, phishing attempts, or other spam.

Email address obfuscation makes addresses more difficult for automated bots to detect while allowing legitimate visitors to contact your business.

Why It Matters

Protecting email addresses helps reduce spam, protects staff from unnecessary phishing attempts, and limits the amount of unwanted email your organization receives over time.

What Could Happen Without It?

Email addresses published in plain text may be harvested by automated bots, resulting in increased spam, phishing attempts, and unwanted marketing emails.
