By default GeoNode sends notifications to the users for events that they could be subscribed to such as a new dataset uploaded or a new rate added to a map. You can adjust your notification settings by clicking on the :guilabel:`Notifications` link of the Profile page (see :ref:`editing-profile`).
Note
Make sure to have a verified email address to which notices can be sent. If not see :ref:`associating_emails`.
Now check/uncheck the notification types you wish to receive or not receive. It is possible to be notified for the events shown in the picture below.
