On June 7, Apple threw a huge curveball at email marketers everywhere. In a nutshell, Apple announced a new privacy feature which can prevent senders from knowing when a user opens their email. This means that when an Apple Mail user activates this new privacy setting, you may have no way of knowing if that user opened your emails. Additionally, information you may have been able to glean up to this point in time—a user’s location or other online activity—will be hidden from you.
