    Contacts are added to EKM Response in one of three ways:

    1. Sign up through a signup form: Contacts signing up in this method receive a confirmation email asking them to confirm they wish to receive campaigns.
    2. Sign up via the checkout of your EKM shop: Contacts signing up in this method actively check a checkbox during checkout.
    3. Manually added by the account holder: As the account holder, we are stating that you have permission to send the contacts you are adding your campaigns. This is stated on all input screens that are affected.
