I used the function on the homepage to email classmates to invite them to join our website. Where can I find a list of those emails that have been sent this way? I need those email addresses.

You can get a list of e-mail addresses by doing the EXPORT CLASSLIST function. This can be found on the Manage Classmates/ Export Classlist page.

Thanks for the reply, but I think you misunderstood. These people have not yet registered on our website or had their contact info updated. On the homepage, lower right corner there's a place to put in an email address. Then the website sends them an official invitation. It reads as follows:
Know the email address of a missing Classmate? Enter it below and an invite to our site will automatically be sent.

Frank - those emails are NOT saved. There was another discussion on this here in the Help Forums and CC's position is that another class member who shares the email address of a third person wasn't giving us permission to use/save that email. It sends an invitation that the recipient would need to act upon. Also they are just email addresses; no name is attached to them.

Thanks. I was afraid of that. I've been doing some research to find classmates, entered a few emails there, then didn't properly save the spreadsheet with my updates! (trying to find it in temp files)

Why not change the wording that says something like "you give us permission to use the email address entered for class contact followup" or something similar. Then we get "permission". Silly me - actually assumed that the email address entered was forwarded to admins. There's nothing that indicates otherwise. Either way, the use of the email address needs to be clarified.

I had not considered the other party. Seems this is more a question of what the other person "thinks" of this vs a legal privacy issue. IOW, don't think any permission is required, but read on. If carried to the end, then anyone sending information about a person (e.g. mailing address) would be violating the exact same "privacy". To carry that to the next step - what if they emailed the address to you? Is that person on the hook? If not, why can't the act of using the form (with the disclaimer just to be upfront) be a good way to gather this information? Or to use the other examples listed of how information is found: I think we agree those are all legal methods (do not violate any privacy law as such) and those methods did not get permission either. Privacy laws tend to revolve around legal "relationships". Where one lives (address), phone number, email address, voter registration, etc don't think are covered. But I could be wrong - just giving some counter examples since it would be nice to get additional info. So perhaps this is an imagined issue - unless someone knows of a statute that states otherwise. I just hate to see people get worked up over things that are not true. I agree that some do not want to be found - but that's a different area. (I'm in the Seattle, WA area - not that it makes any diff.)
