"Hi, $username!

We're sorry to let you know that, since at least one of your annotations was displayed on the MusicBrainz website between 2019-04-26 and 2020-11-22, your email address and birth date (if you have one set) might have been leaked. As such, we might be to blame for you receiving spam emails. Not everyone in this situation seems to have been targeted by spammers, so we have no way to be sure if you have, but we are very sorry for causing this risk either way. You can see the full info about the leak on our blog, at https://blog.metabrainz.org/2020/11/23/leaked-email-address-incident-2020-11-23/. There you can also see what we have done to fix the leak and to ensure something similar cannot happen in the future.

We sincerely apologize for all this mess, and hope you will continue to contribute in spite of it. If you have any further questions that the blog post doesn't answer, let us know and we'll do our best to answer them!

Just for clarity: your password has not been leaked and you do not need to change it.

Greetings,
the MusicBrainz team."
