At GFA, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that you have control over your personal data. This section of our Privacy Policy explains how we manage consent for SMS communications, including text messages we send to you.
1. Collection of Phone Number and SMS Consent
When you provide your phone number to us (e.g., during account registration, purchasing, or subscribing), we will explicitly ask for your consent to send you SMS communications. This may include updates, alerts, promotional offers, or transactional messages. You will always be given the option to opt-in for receiving these messages.
- Opt-In for SMS: You will need to actively provide consent before we send SMS marketing or notifications. This may be through a checkbox or a clear "I Agree" prompt when entering your phone number on our website or app.
- Transactional Messages: For essential services (such as order confirmations or account security), we may send SMS messages without requiring explicit consent, but these messages will be limited to necessary communication.
2. How We Use SMS Messages
We use SMS to send:
- Transactional Messages: For important account updates, purchase confirmations, or security alerts.
- Promotional Messages: With your consent, we may send offers, discounts, or news about our products and services.
3. How You Can Withdraw Consent
You can withdraw your consent to receive SMS messages at any time:
- Reply STOP: To stop receiving marketing SMS messages, simply reply with “STOP” to any message you receive. This will opt you out of future promotional messages.
- SMS Preferences: You can manage your SMS preferences via your account settings or by contacting our customer support team.
- Unsubscribe Link: For marketing messages, each SMS will include instructions on how to opt-out, such as “Reply STOP to unsubscribe.”
4. Message Frequency and Charges
- Message Frequency: We will send SMS messages to you based on your preferences. For marketing messages, the frequency will not exceed a reasonable amount.
- Charges: Standard message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile plan and carrier. We do not charge you for receiving SMS messages from us, but it’s important to be aware of any charges from your mobile provider.
5. Third-Party Services
We may use third-party service providers to send SMS messages. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data in accordance with our privacy standards. We do not share your phone number with unauthorized third parties.
6. Security of Your Data
Your phone number and any personal information shared for SMS purposes will be securely stored and protected in accordance with our overall privacy practices. We will not sell or misuse your data, and we will take all reasonable steps to prevent unauthorized access.
7. Changes to SMS Consent
If we make any significant changes to our SMS communication practices or how we manage consent for SMS, we will notify you and ask for your updated consent if necessary.
