Radical transparency
Every email we can send.
All 5 of them, boring on purpose — shown here exactly as our system renders them, from the same templates it sends with. Notice what isn't here: there is no “someone likes you” email. The template doesn't exist.
1 of 5 · Email verification
When you add an address to your own account. Sent to that address; contains a confirmation link and nothing else.
Subject: Confirm your email address
Confirm this email address for your AnonymousCrush account: https://anonymouscrush.com/verify?token=… The link expires in 24 hours. If you did not request this, you can ignore this message.
2 of 5 · Existing-account notice
When someone tries to register with an address that already has an account. Sent to the account holder, worded identically whether or not the attempt was theirs.
Subject: Sign-in attempt on your account
Someone tried to create an AnonymousCrush account with this email address, which is already registered. If this was you, sign in instead: https://anonymouscrush.com/login Forgot your password? https://anonymouscrush.com/forgot If this was not you, no action is needed.
3 of 5 · Password reset
When a password reset is requested for your address.
Subject: Reset your password
Reset your AnonymousCrush password: https://anonymouscrush.com/reset?token=… The link expires in 2 hours. If you did not request this, ignore this message.
4 of 5 · Opt-out confirmation
Sent only when someone asks us to exclude an address from matching — one send to confirm that request, then silence.
Subject: Confirm your opt-out request
You (or someone with access to this address) asked to exclude you@example.com from AnonymousCrush matching. Confirm here: https://anonymouscrush.com/privacy/opt-out/confirm?token=… After confirmation this address can never be matched on our service. This is a one-time confirmation of that request. This address has not been subscribed to anything, and we will not email it again unless someone asks us to. If you did not request this, ignore this message and nothing happens.
5 of 5 · Private account update
The workhorse: sent to a member when a match needs their response, when one completes, or as the quiet nudge before a crush of theirs lapses. Always these exact words — no name, no detail, nothing for a lock screen to narrate, and no way to tell from the outside which kind of news it carries.
Subject: You have a private account update
There is a private update waiting in your AnonymousCrush account. Sign in to view it: https://anonymouscrush.com/dashboard For your privacy, this message contains no further detail.
What will never join this list
No “someone has a crush on you.” No counts, no blurred faces, no “come back and check.” Being entered as a crush triggers no email — none of these, nothing, ever. If someone chooses you and you haven't chosen them, we send nothing, at any price.
Got an email claiming to be from us that doesn't match one of these? It isn't from us — forward it to support@anonymouscrush.com.
Quiet by design — on your lock screen too.
