Data Security

All private information, like account passwords, are encrypted—MailChimp’s staff can’t even view them. If you lose your password, it can’t be retrieved—you have to reset it. All login pages are 128‑bit secure, and account data is regularly mirrored and backed up offsite.

Data Center

MailChimp uses a world‑class data center that manages our servers 24/7, has redundant power supplies, redundant cooling systems, and redundant networks. They employ card‑key and biometric security procedures, and guarantee 100‑percent network up‑time.

Privacy

We employ a full‑time legal & privacy officer who works with our developers to make sure all our features comply with applicable international spam and privacy laws. Our privacy policy is monitored by TRUSTe, and is EU SafeHarbor compliant.

Location Detection

MailChimp allows you to require a security question whenever someone logs in to your account from an IP address in a different location than normal.

Text And Email Security Alerts

If you choose to receive text-message or email security alerts, we’ll send you an alert every time there’s a login to your account, an API key is generated, an account key is created, your account contact information changes, or someone attempts to download a list.

Account Keys Notifications

Every time an account key is created, we send an email notification to the account’s owner, who can revoke access and contact us if there’s a problem.

Two–Factor Authentication

We created AlterEgo to add an extra layer of security to your account. When it’s enabled, you must provide a second temporary password generated from your mobile device in order to access your account.
