Hi I suggest you don't write down in gray on white "by the way, we will also store your email". Put it somewhere either prominent or maybe outright have and opt in button for that? It's an industry wide practice, but that does not automatically make it ok.

Thanks. I'll get that sorted out.

  Plus... That GDPR thing across the pond.. we (on this side of the pond) don't appreciate this behaviour. Ask us politely to tick a (previously unchecked checkbox). I started out thinking "whoah that should be a great company to work with/at" and then the marketing thingie happened...

    Especially bad considering that the company is located in an EU member country. (Estonia)

      All fixed. Thanks for the feedback guys. We're a tech company, not so much a marketing company, so we probably don't really know what we're doing here :-)

        If you are a tech company you should know that require an email adress for a download link is a bad design. Because only marketing people do that... Please don't try to hide the fact that you DID want to harvest valuable email adress from HN. It's too late.

        As stated in a sibling, it was our genuine intention to send out updates for those who want to get it. I agree it wasn't implemented in the best way and I should have reviewed the landing page, but it certainly wasn't because of ulterior motive.

        Please don't pile on. If someone makes a mistake, it's enough that they fix it.

  Thanks! I'm glad to hear your company is also incorporated in Estonia. How well has it been working for you?

    It has been a great choice. I've incorporated companies in multiple countries before, and Estonia has been by far the best. Easy, unbureaucratic, extremely competent, they speak great English and are always very pro-active and helpful. We work with the guys from LeapIN and it has been a great and pleasant experience since day 0.
