📘 1. Terms of Use — SMS Messaging Section

SMS Messaging Features  

This product includes optional SMS text‑message capabilities. SMS features are disabled by default and require explicit user activation. By enabling SMS messaging, you agree to:

• Connect and maintain your own SMS provider account (such as Twilio)

• Use a phone number you control

• Obtain proper consent from all message recipients

• Follow all applicable messaging laws, carrier rules, and opt‑in/opt‑out requirements

Standard carrier messaging rates may apply.

🔒 2. Privacy Policy — SMS Section

SMS Data and Privacy  

SMS messaging within this product is optional and requires user activation. When you enable SMS features, the system may process the following information solely for the purpose of delivering your messages:

• Phone numbers you provide

• Message content you create

• Delivery status information returned by your SMS provider

This product does not store or share SMS data beyond what is required for message delivery. All SMS messages are transmitted through the third‑party provider you connect (such as Twilio), and their privacy policies apply to message handling on their platform.

We do not sell, rent, or use your SMS data for marketing or analytics.

💬 3. Why We Require Opt‑In (Customer‑Friendly Explanation)

Why You Must Opt In to Use Text Messaging  

Text messaging is a powerful tool, but it comes with rules designed to protect both you and your customers. That’s why SMS features in this app are optional and require you to opt in before you can use them.

Here’s why:

You control your own phone number  

• You connect your own SMS provider (like Twilio), so messages come from a number you own.

You choose who you message  

• Only you know which customers have agreed to receive texts from you.

You stay compliant with carrier rules  

• Carriers require clear opt‑in and opt‑out processes. Turning SMS on manually ensures you’re following those guidelines.

You avoid accidental messaging  

• SMS is disabled by default so no messages are ever sent without your approval.

Opting in keeps everything transparent, secure, and compliant — and ensures your customers only receive messages they’ve agreed to.
