How to explain opt-in in your privacy policy/terms and condition
To remain compliant with regulations and provide a positive user experience, it is essential to have an opt-in message. HelloShift strongly advises incorporating a transparent communication opt-in statement within your privacy policy, which should be easily accessible on your website.
Your opt-in message should describe how guests opt-in to receiving text messages from your business via HelloShift, therefore giving consent to the sender (HelloShift) to receive their messages.
Sample opt-in statement
By booking, you grant [Your Business Name] permission to send text messages and emails containing reservation details and other offers. Standard message/data rates may apply. Consent is not a condition of purchase. To stop receiving messages at any time, simply reply with STOP.
