SMS Privacy Policy
1. A privacy policy should inform customers about how the company collects, uses, and shares their information.
2. The privacy policy should be easily accessible and linked to all pages (footer or header).
3. The privacy policy needs to be on a single page or pop-up window.
4. The privacy policy's sharing section must explicitly state: "SMS opt-in or phone numbers for the purpose of SMS are not being shared with any third party and affiliate company for marketing purposes."
Additional Considerations:
- Examples of full privacy policies should not be provided.
-The privacy policy must be comprehensive, addressing all aspects of use, collection, and sharing.
A company can share information as long as it does not share SMS consent or phone numbers for SMS by providing the disclaimer; it will be compliant.
• Opt-in Language

You may reply STOP to opt-out at any time. Reply to HELP to (phone number) for assistance. Messages and data rates may apply. Message frequency will vary"
