Messaging Policy
This Messaging Policy applies to SMS, MMS, Chat, and WhatsApp messaging channels. We all expect that the messages we want to receive will reach us, unhindered by filtering or other blockers. An important step Twilio and our customers can take to make that expectation reality is to prevent and eliminate unwanted messages. Towards that end, we strive to work with our customers so that messages are sent with the consent of the message recipient, and that those messages comply with applicable laws, communications industry guidelines or standards, and measures of fairness and decency.
At registration page we have a consent that By clicking “Sign Up”, you agree to “Sooper Shop” Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. You consent to receive phone calls and SMS messages from “Sooper Shop” to provide updates on your order and/or for marketing purposes. Message frequency depends on your activity. You may opt-out by texting “STOP” to +92346 5424 941. Message and data rates may apply.
Twilio treats all messaging transmitted via Twilio’s platform – regardless of use case or phone number type (e.g., long code, short code, or toll-free) – as Application-to-Person (A2P) messaging. All A2P messages originating from Twilio are subject to this Messaging Policy, which covers rules and /or prohibitions regarding:
Consent ( “opt-in”);
Revocation of Consent (“opt-out”);
Sender Identification;
Messaging Usage;
Filtering Evasion; and
Enforcement.
This policy applies to all customers who use Twilio’s messaging channels. If you provide your own end users or clients with the ability to send messages through Twilio, for example as an ISV (Independent Software Vendor), you are responsible for the messaging activity of these users. You must ensure that any messaging activity generated by your users is in compliance with Twilio policies.
Consent / Opt-in
What Is Proper Consent?
Consent can’t be bought, sold, or exchanged. For example, you can’t obtain the consent of message recipients by purchasing a phone list from another party.
Aside from two exceptions noted later in this section, you need to meet each of the consent requirements listed below. If you are a software or platform provider using Twilio’s platform for messaging within your application or service, you must require your customers to adhere to these same requirements when dealing with their users and customers.
Consent Requirements
Prior to sending the first message, you must obtain agreement from the message recipient to communicate with them – this is referred to as “consent”, you must make clear to the individual they are agreeing to receive messages of the type you’re going to send. You need to keep a record of the consent, such as a copy of the document or form that the message recipient signed, or a timestamp of when the customer completed a sign-up flow.
If you do not send an initial message to that individual within a reasonable period after receiving consent (or as set forth by local regulations or best practices), then you will need to reconfirm consent in the first message you send to that recipient.
The consent applies only to you, and to the specific use or campaign that the recipient has consented to. You can’t treat it as blanket consent allowing you to send messages from other brands or companies you may have, or additional messages about other uses or campaigns.
Proof of opt-in consent should be retained as set forth by local regulation or best practices after the end user opts out of receiving messages.
Opt-out
The initial message that you send to an individual needs to include the following language: “Reply STOP to unsubscribe,” or the equivalent using another standard opt-out keyword, such as STOPALL, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END, and QUIT.
Individuals must have the ability to revoke consent at any time by replying with a standard opt-out keyword. When an individual opts out, you may deliver one final message to confirm that the opt-out has been processed, but any subsequent messages are not allowed. An individual must once again provide consent before you can send any additional messages.
