Privacy Policy
Purpose: Your privacy policy must clearly explain how you handle personal data, including what information you collect, how you use it, and how you protect it.
Key Points to Include:
1.A description of the types of personal data you collect (e.g., names, phone numbers).
How you use this data (e.g., for SMS notifications, marketing).
An explicit statement that SMS opt-in data and phone numbers will not be shared with third parties. For example:
“We do not share your SMS opt-in information or phone numbers with any third parties.”
Accessibility: Ensure that the privacy policy is easily accessible from all pages of your website, ideally linked in the footer.
2. Opt-In Checkbox for SMS Notifications
Functionality: You need to implement an opt-in checkbox that allows users to choose whether they want to receive SMS notifications. This checkbox should be optional, meaning users can submit the form without checking it.
Checkbox Text: The text accompanying the checkbox should be clear and informative. For example:
“By clicking this box, you agree to receive SMS from BMB Solution. You can reply ‘STOP’ to opt-out at any time.”
Design: Make sure the checkbox is placed prominently near the form submission button, but does not interfere with the form submission process if left unchecked.
Implementation Steps
Draft the Privacy Policy: Write your privacy policy, ensuring it meets legal requirements and clearly communicates how you handle data.
Add the Checkbox: In your form code, add the checkbox with the appropriate label and ensure it’s optional.
Test Functionality: After implementing these features, test your website to ensure everything works as intended, including the submission process with and without the checkbox selected.
