    Your website just sold my email
    And subscribed to 100s of newsletters
    I demand a answer

    I don’t have a site with WordPress.com yet

    Hi, we don’t sell email addresses. We do allow you to subscribe to sites by email though. I saw that yesterday you used this account to follow comments on a site. That would be a lot of mail. It’s not confirmed yet, though.

    You can manage all of your email settings here:
    https://wordpress.com/me/notifications

    Just check each of the tabs and adjust your settings as needed.

    That said, I have heard of “subscription attacks” where someone who has your email uses it to subscribe to hundreds or even thousands of services. Our subscription forms are protected from this, in that you won’t be subscribed until you actually confirm by clicking on a link. But it can still be annoying to get that many confirmation requests. If you’re being attacked in that way, please consider reading about subscription attacks, and using your mail filters to find specific patterns to help mitigate the attack.
