Would you save Newsletters Emails on DB or leave it on MailChimp?

So I'm new to Newsletters and I'm following a tutorial on how to set up a newsletter system with MailChimp in Laravel.

The question that arises is if I need to store the given email on my database as well?

Just in case if I want to dismiss the services of MailChimp. What are you doing?

Well, the less data you have of the customer on your website the saver you are regarding hacks and privacy stuff!

If you want the email addresses from MailChimp you can use the api to retrieve it and send something from there. No need to duplicate the data.

When duplicating the data you also need to sync the data!
