  1. Information We Collect


  • Phone Number: The mobile number you provide to receive SMS messages.

  • Demonstrate regulatory compliance (TCPA 2025, Campaign Registry).
  • Improve messaging and measure engagement.
  1. One-to-One Consent Requirement
    Under the January 2024 FCC ruling, opt-in consent applies solely to Business Name. We do not share your consent with third parties or affiliates unless you expressly agree.
  2. Message Frequency & Data Rates
    The SMS message frequency will vary but will not be more than         3-5 unless there is a notification event. Message and data rates may apply; check your carrier’s terms.

  • Text “STOP” to any message to unsubscribe immediately.
  • Text “HELP” for assistance or contact us at Support Email or Support Phone Number.


  1. Data Sharing & Disclosure


  • We will never sell your data.
  • We may share data with service providers (e.g., carriers) with strict confidentiality regarding SMS delivery.
  • National Do Not Call Registry (DNC) protections apply to SMS; we honor existing DNC registrations unless you expressly opt in.
  1. Security of Your Information
    Reasonable measures are in place to protect your data, though no system is infallible.
  2. Record-Keeping & Proof of Consent
    We retain all opt-in and opt-out records, including timestamps and consent methods, to comply with TCPA 2025 and Campaign Registry guidelines.
  3. Changes to This Policy

Key 2025 Compliance Elements:

  • One-to-One Consent: Consumers are only giving consent to receive messages from the specific business they opt in for, not from multiple parties​ or third parties.
  • Clear Disclosures: The policy includes clear language about the nature of the messages, frequency, potential charges, and opt-out mechanisms​
  • Do Not Call Protections: The policy reflects the latest FCC guidance that DNC protections apply to SMS, making it clear that businesses must adhere to DNC regulations​
  • Data Sharing and Record-Keeping: Emphasizes the importance of maintaining proof of consent and clear guidelines on how data is shared for operational purposes.

This updated Privacy Policy example aligns with current 2025 TCPA and FCC guidelines, ensuring your business remains compliant while fostering transparency with consumers.
