An email disclaimer is a legal statement or notice included at the bottom of an email that aims to protect the sender and their organization from various risks associated with email communication.

HubSpot contributor Mandy Bray has published an article featuring eight useful email disclaimer examples.

She says, “Just because email disclaimers are legal statements doesn’t mean they need to be boring or unintelligible. In fact, it’s your job to find a balance between compliance and clarity for users.

The email disclaimer is also valuable real estate. It’s a place where readers know to look for vital information about the sender: who they are, how to learn more, and how to engage with the brand by managing email preferences, etc.

It’s an often-overlooked place to build trust with your customers.

1. Email Confidentiality Notice

You’ve most likely seen a confidentiality disclaimer from someone like an accountant or attorney.

A typical notice might read, “This email and any information, files, or attachments are for the exclusive and confidential use of the intended recipient. If you are not the intended recipient…”

While legal experts differ on how much protection this affords the sender, it’s still a good idea to include it if your emails include personal information.”
