How We Collect Consent
GDS of USA collects opt-in consent for SMS messages in person and by phone. When a customer is registered in our system, our team requests a phone number and asks whether the customer would like to receive text message updates. The customer is informed that:
- Message and data rates may apply
- Message frequency may vary
- They can text HELP for support or STOP to unsubscribe at any time
- Their information will not be shared with third parties for marketing purposes
All verbal opt-ins are recorded through our intake process and stored in compliance with our privacy and data policies.
Collection of Phone Numbers
We collect your phone number when you provide it voluntarily through service requests, scheduling, customer service interactions, or online forms. You may also choose to receive SMS notifications during these interactions.
Use of Phone Numbers
Your phone number is used exclusively to provide relevant updates related to services we offer. These include reminders, status updates, surveys, and limited promotions. We do not share your number with third parties except for our SMS messaging provider, which operates under a strict confidentiality agreement.
