How does Mail Tracker work with Apple Privacy Mail Protection?

Right now, Apple Privacy Mail Protection system works as follows:

  1. When the subscriber’s Apple Mail app starts up, it triggers a download of the email to their device from their email host (e.g., Yahoo or Google).
  2. At random intervals (could be immediately or a couple of days later), Apple downloads all of the images in the email, creating a copy of the images to a new location on the Apple Privacy Cache. A proxy server triggers the download with an IP address assigned to the general region of the subscriber, masking their specific geolocation.
  3. When a user opens the email, it triggers a request to download and display the email’s images, but they come from the Apple Cache. So, the email’s sender won’t see the real open.
    Because of this, email trackers can’t tell who opened your emails, when, and where.

cloudHQ Email Tracker will try to detect the above behavior and ignore all emails opened via Apple Privacy Mail Protection system. We believe you shouldn’t rely on solely on email opens as your sole performance metric.
