What emails am I signing up to when I join Creativepool?
By confirming your email address and creating a profile on Creativepool, you are agreeing to receive a number of emails from us which allow us to provide our services to you.
These include emails with relevant job alerts based on the skills you add to your profile, notification emails alerting you to followers and connections on the platform, emails which tell you about exclusive events, competitions, promotions, products and news within the creative industry, and emails from our carefully selected third party organisations. By default, your profile is automatically made public and searchable on the internet. You can edit all of these settings in your privacy preferences.How do I change what emails Creativepool sends me?

I don't have a login and want to stop receiving emails. Help!
If you do not have a login for Creativepool and would like to stop receiving emails from us, there should be an "unsubscribe" option at the bottom of every communication we send out.
If you are still receiving emails please send an email to Support and we can look into what the issue is.
I'm not looking for a job right now. How can I show this on my profile?

Once your profile is set to unavailable it will look like this.

If you are finding you are missing out on our emails as they are being delivered to your spam or promotions folder then you can whitelist them to make sure that you don't miss any messages from employers or clients. We have put together a page that will show you how you can whitelist emails that for as many email clients as we could think of.
How do I delete my profile

On this page there is a Leave Creativepool entirely button. This will remove everything that we have recorded for you on the platform and is not recoverable. You will loose all messages, work and any connections on the platform.
We'd be grateful for any feedback as to why you have decided to delete your account and hope to see you back soon.
