• If you have a “Contact Us” form on your website which captures phone numbers as a mandatory field, you must add the following disclaimer clearly under the Contact Us webform:
“By providing a telephone number and submitting the form you are consenting to be contacted by SMS text message. Message & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out of further messaging.”
• If your privacy policy does mention that you share data with third parties, you must make a carve out/exclusion for sharing phone numbers and opt-in consent that you collect from your consumers. Please ensure your privacy policy is amended to reflect this before campaign submission
Note: Consent cannot be passed on to third parties, meaning, consent granted to Bob’s bait shop to send text messages cannot be re-used by Charlie’s car shop. An example of a carve-out is provided below but please consult your legal advisor to make amendments to your privacy reflecting this change.
This is what you need to add in your privacy policy: No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. All other categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties
