1BUILDERMEDIA MARKETING PRIVACY NOTICE

 

The updated 1BuilderMedia Marketing Privacy Notice goes into effect on June 07, 2024 

 

1BuilderMedia Marketing, Inc. and its worldwide affiliates and subsidiaries

(collectively “1BuilderMedia Marketing”, “us”, “we”, “our”) are committed to protecting your privacy while providing you with a positive experience on our website and in using our products and services.

This Privacy Notice (“Notice”) explains our privacy practices and provides information on how and why we collect, use and share your personal information through our interaction with you in relation to our products and services, when you visit our websites, and associated sub-domains (“Website“), when you use our desktop, IP desk phone, mobile applications, our integrated business apps or our lab solutions (“Apps“) or when you use our cloud communications and collaboration solutions (“Services“). The Notice also describes choices that may be available to you regarding use, access, deletion and correction of your personal information.

Additional information on our personal information practices may be provided in supplemental terms and conditions, supplemental privacy statements, or notices provided prior to or at the time of data collection.

 

HOW WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

How are we obtaining consent to send SMS messages?

Mobile carriers require businesses to obtain consent before sending any SMS messages to their recipients. Sending text messages to customers, partners, or employees requires permission first. We utilize:

  • Conversational messages

    are back-and-forth conversations between individuals with no automated responses involved. If the consumer initiates the conversation, consent is implied. Otherwise, you can get verbal consent or written consent (ex., website intake form with language on SMS consent) for these types of messages. You don’t have to include opt-out keywords in sample messaging.

Example:

If a customer messages you first, you have their permission to reply and continue a text back and forth. However, if you want to send them informational or promotional messages later, then you need to ask for their consent again. Giving you permission to text them back and forth doesn’t count for the other two messaging types. This means you don’t need to include an opt-out keyword in any messages.
For example, if you own a flower shop and meet a customer interested in flowers for their wedding, you can ask them to text you to discuss details. When they text you at the number you gave them, the customer permits you to talk about that specific topic.
However, if you want to send reminders about upcoming specials or advertisements, you must obtain their consent again and document it. This means written consent that you document and track.
