MageMail

Behavioural email automation service for Magento storefronts that triggers abandoned cart, browse abandonment and post purchase emails based on visitor activity.

Overview

What does MageMail do?

What MageMail is

MageMail is a behavioural email automation tool built around the Magento ecommerce platform. Now part of Springbot, it ties together a JavaScript tracker installed on the storefront, an extension that exposes Magento order and cart events, and a campaign engine that sends abandoned cart, browse abandonment, win back and post purchase emails.

Cookies and data

The tracker writes a first party visitor cookie (mm_visitor) and a session cookie (mm_session). Cart and product events sent to the MageMail API include the email address (when available), browsing events, product identifiers, cart contents, IP and user agent.

GDPR and ePrivacy posture

Setting MageMail cookies and shipping behavioural events trigger Article 5(3) ePrivacy: consent must be obtained before the pixel loads. Marketing emails sent based on the captured behaviour rely on Article 6(1)(a) consent and on Article 7 of the European ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC for the soft opt in to existing customers.

Transfers and contracts

Springbot operates from the United States. EU controllers must sign Standard Contractual Clauses, run a Transfer Impact Assessment and document the transfer in their RoPA. Confirm whether an EU data residency option is available before signing.

Implementation steps

Block the MageMail pixel until consent, configure double opt in for the email list, sign the DPA and SCCs, document the cookies, restrict retention of cart events to the minimum, and surface a clear unsubscribe and right of access mechanism.

Compliance

MageMail and the GDPR

MageMail is classified as “Marketing”. On a site that targets European visitors, it must only load after the visitor consents, and it must be listed in your cookie policy.

Legal basis
Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Art. 5(3) ePrivacy) for the MageMail tracking cookies, the cart and behavioural event capture and the cross channel marketing emails. Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)) may apply to transactional emails sent under contract performance.

Impact assessment (DPIA)

A DPIA is recommended because MageMail combines behavioural ecommerce tracking with cross channel email targeting and a US transfer through Springbot.
