# HawkOpen for individuals: no more waiting in the dark

> If the recipient agreed to tracking, HawkOpen shows whether your CV, complaint, listing reply or contract was likely opened by a person or only by a mail system. On the Pro plan, it reminds you when nobody replies. The Free plan costs nothing and has no time limit: unlimited opens, and link clicks in 10 emails a month.

See if a recruiter opened your CV, a company opened your complaint or someone viewed the contract you sent. Free plan rates every open, no time limit.

## Did the recruiter open my resume or CV?

**Send your CV through HawkOpen, even on the free plan: if the recruiter agreed to tracking, you’ll see whether the email was likely opened by the recruiter or only by the company’s system, and whether anyone clicked your portfolio link.**

You send dozens of applications and hear nothing back. You don’t know whether your CV got stuck in a filter or someone looked at it and set it aside.

If the recipient agreed to tracking, HawkOpen shows whether the email was likely opened by a person or only by the company’s system. You also see clicks on your portfolio or LinkedIn link.

The Free plan is enough: unlimited opens and link clicks in 10 emails a month.

- You know whether anyone saw your application at all. And when it’s a good time to ask about a reply.
- Mon: You send your CV from Gmail
- Mon: The company’s system checks the attachment and links
- Wed: The recruiter opens the email
- Wed: The recruiter clicks the portfolio link
- Fri: You send a short follow-up at the right moment

## Did the company or council open my complaint or application?

**If the recipient agreed to tracking, HawkOpen shows whether your complaint or application was likely opened by a person; it is a technical signal, not an official proof of receipt.**

You write a complaint, an application or a request, and you wait. You don’t know whether it reached anyone or is sitting in spam.

If the recipient agreed to tracking, HawkOpen shows when the email was likely opened by a person. On the Pro plan, it also reminds you when nobody replies.

Remember: this is not an official proof of receipt. When a legal deadline matters, use a channel that gives you that kind of confirmation.

- You see whether someone opened your complaint or application, if they agreed to tracking. It is a technical signal, not an official proof of receipt.
- Mon: You send a complaint to a shop
- Mon: The shop’s mail filter checks the email
- Tue: Someone in customer service opens the email
- next Mon: No reply after a week: a reminder on the Pro plan

## How do I know who is really interested in my listing?

**Send each person a separate email through HawkOpen: among those who agreed to tracking, you’ll see who opened the message and clicked through to the photos, and you can call them first.**

You reply to lots of people about your listing and lose time on those who bought something else long ago.

Each person gets a separate email, so among those who agreed to tracking you see who opened the message and clicked through to the photos.

You focus on the people who are really interested.

- You know who keeps coming back to your message. Selling a car, renting out a flat, a job for a tradesperson.
- 10:00: You send photos and details to three people
- 10:20: Anna opens the email three times during the day
- 10:20: Anna opens the link to the photos
- evening: The other two haven’t opened the email
- evening: You call Anna first

## How can I tell if someone has looked at the contract I sent?

**Send the contract as a PDF link in HawkOpen: if the reader agrees on the page, you’ll see which pages they viewed and for how long; the Free plan includes 5 PDF links a month.**

You send an important document and don’t know whether the other side has read it before it’s time to sign.

With the reader’s consent, a PDF link shows the time spent on each page. The Free plan includes 5 PDF links a month.

We accept files only after antivirus scanning; this feature works when scanning is switched on.

- You see which pages of the document someone viewed. A rental agreement, a renovation quote, loan documents.
- 18:00: You send the rental agreement as a PDF link
- 20:10: Pages 1–3 viewed
- 20:12: Page 5, the deposit: 40 seconds
- 20:15: You know what they’ll ask about at signing

## Are the emails I receive tracking me?

**The HawkOpen extension for Chrome and Firefox removes likely tracking pixels and UTM parameters from the emails you read in Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo Mail in the browser.**

Shops, newsletters and unknown senders put invisible images in their emails that tell them when and where you read your mail.

The HawkOpen extension removes likely tracking pixels and UTM-style parameters in links from incoming emails.

We don’t promise it catches every pixel or that none loaded first, but it clearly reduces tracking of the emails you read in the browser.

- The extension removes tracking pixels from the emails you read. Protection works in Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo Mail in the browser.
- morning: You open a newsletter from a shop
- morning: The extension finds a hidden 1×1 image
- morning: It removes it, along with the tracking parameters in links

## Can I track emails for free?

## Track fairly

HawkOpen tracks only recipients whose consent is recorded. Every tracked email has a short notice in the footer with the link “Do not track my activity”. That is fair to the other side and in the spirit of EU rules.

Use HawkOpen for your own correspondence: applications, complaints, listings and contracts. Don’t use it to keep watch on people close to you or to find out where someone is.

## Questions

### Can I check for free if someone read my email?

Yes. The Free plan tracks unlimited opens from recipients who agreed to tracking and shows for each one whether it was likely a person, Apple Mail, a proxy or a scanner. No tool can tell you for certain that an email was read: only a reply is certain.

### Does it work with Gmail on my phone?

You send emails from your computer, through the extension in Gmail, Outlook or Yahoo Mail, or from the HawkOpen dashboard. The recipient can read the email on any device.

### Will the recipient know?

Yes. HawkOpen tracks only recipients who agreed, and the footer of a tracked email has a short notice about tracking with the link “Do not track my activity”.

### Is an email open proof of delivery?

No. It is a technical signal. When a legal deadline matters, use a channel with an official proof of receipt.

Sample events. An open is a technical signal, not proof that someone read your email; HawkOpen shows where it came from.
