What does Apple Mail Privacy Protection (MPP) mean for your email countdown timer?

As soon as an email with active MPP lands in your inbox, Apple downloads the countdown timer GIF in the background and stores it on its own servers. From that point on, Apple delivers the stored image to all other recipients with MPP – regardless of when they actually open the email.

The countdown timer then shows the time since this first automatic retrieval – not the actual time remaining until the event.

To ensure that your recipients with active MPP do not see a countdown timer with an incorrectly displayed remaining time, we recommend that you activate the fallback option 'Show image' and add a suitable static text for your email campaign.

Is the timer really free?

Yes, the email countdown timer is free!

Does the timer include a watermark?

No watermark, no branding – the email countdown timer is completely free from watermarks or branding. The timer is displayed seamlessly within your email design, without any logo, promotional message or visual tag. This ensures your campaigns look fully professional and aligned with your brand identity.

How often can the timer be displayed?

The email countdown timer may currently be included in emails or newsletters as often as desired without quantitative restrictions. Its use is subject to our Terms of Use, in particular the provisions on fair use and the prohibition of misuse or connection with illegal content.

Can I use the timer commercially?

Yes, of course. You can use the email countdown timer privately and commercially.

Is the timer GDPR-compliant?

Data protection is very important to us, and we do everything we can to comply with GDPR requirements. No personal data is permanently stored for the creation and display of the email countdown timer. When the email countdown timer is accessed, the IP address is processed briefly to prevent excessive requests and ensure the security of the service. This is done in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, and the IP address is not permanently stored. For more information, please see our Privacy Policy.

How often is the timer updated?

To ensure that the email countdown timer always displays the current remaining time, it is updated in real time every time the email is opened. This means that your recipients always see the exact time remaining until the date you specified expires. In this context, please also take another look at the topic of Apple Mail Privacy Protection (MPP).

Why does the timer run in a 60-second loop?

Don't worry — this is intentional and typical of an email countdown timer. In order to prevent your recipients from having to wait what feels like an eternity for the timer to appear when they open the email, the file size of the timer (an animated GIF) must not be too large. For this reason, we have set the timer to loop through 60 frames. It works perfectly 👍

How reliable is the timer?

We know how important it is for you that the email countdown timer always runs reliably and is displayed quickly in your recipients' emails. That's why we've built a robust infrastructure to ensure that your timer works as reliably as possible.

However, despite taking appropriate technical measures, we cannot guarantee that the application will always function without interruption, securely or without errors. Use is therefore at your own risk (see also our Terms of Use).

Can I customize the timer design?

Yes, a custom timer template is possible in principle. Our goal is to make the creation and design of the email countdown timer as easy as possible for our users. If the currently available options do not allow you to implement your desired requirements for a countdown timer, we would be happy to discuss the implementation of a custom timer template.
