One thing I find a bit strange about this (as a Gumroad user) is that Gumroad employees don't seem to be granted @gumroad.com email addresses -- when I've needed to email their engineering staff or marketing staff I often get replies from someone's personal email address.
The fact that employees are using their personal email address to do Gumroad business makes me feel a bit uncertain about how securely my information / my customers' information is being stored.

I know there is a legal thing in some countries where ext contractors must have a different email. Normally this is done by creating a new domain for the contractors or a sub-domain but Gumroad could be that new they haven't encountered this yet.
- cromka 6y agoI truly doubt that's the case: absolutely none of the contractors employed by the global-brand investment bank I work for use e-mail addresses that are any different than those of the FTEs.
- eloff 6y agoI've encountered this in my work as a contractor. Depends on the company.
- that_guy_iain 6y agoI think it also depends on the country because we didn't seem to have it when we were just a German company but when other countries became involved I think we had to implement legal requirements for them.
- cromka 6y agoI was referring to "I know there is a legal thing in some countries" part.
