A: Hi sumo-lingo,

Thank you for your questions.

1- Can we add newsletter GDPR consent or a custom text to "Newsletter Sign Up Forms" to get clear consent from the users and explicitly inform them that the purpose of collecting email addresses is to send Marketing offers and possibly provide a link to our privacy policy?
Yes, you can add 2 consent checkbox fields to the Newsletter signup form.

What the example of "Newsletter Sign Up Forms" in your website shows is a box for collecting email address and a "Subscribe Now" button, I believe this may not be compliant with GDPR since there is no text to inform the user the reason for the processing/collecting the email address. The GDPR is really important when serving EU users.
-- The text in the GDPR consent checkboxes can be hidden from the form by erasing all the content in the corresponding text label field. Please review the following article with all the information related to this functionality: https://bootstrap.brilliantdirectories.com/support/solutions/articles/12000044937-user-consent-tools-gdpr-compliance-

2- Is there a limit to how many newsletter emails can be sent?
-- By default you can send 1K emails per day, you can increase this limit by linking your own Sendgrid account.

3- can we choose between single Opt-In and double Opt-In when adding forms?
-- By default, our forms support single Opt-in however, forms are editable with our developer tools.

4- Is single Opt-In and double Opt-In available for "Newsletter Sign Up Forms"?
-- By default, the Newsletter signup supports single Opt-in

5- Is it possible to add extra custom Opt-In checkboxes when adding new forms, in addition to the GDPR consent and other available native Opt-In checkboxes?
-- Our native GDPR tool allows you as a website owner to add up to 5 consent checkboxes to forms that can say or have the language of your choosing.

Hope this helps.
