Privacy and Anti-Spam Policies
The following terms and various other sections of this document constitute an introduction to the concept of spam and the general contours of a responsible, permission-based campaign. This general information is not an exhaustive source for applicable laws, guidelines, and compliance responsibilities pertaining to your use of DealerTxt's service. In the event of any conflict between the information below and any law or industry regulation, you are to observe the applicable law or regulation.
What is spam? Spam is any type of unsolicited message. You should not assume that an existing relationship with any recipient constitutes permission to send messages. For example, if a customer disclosed a mobile number in the course of business but did not give you specific permission to send messages, you cannot send messages to that number.
What constitutes consent? As required by law, all message recipients must be clearly and fully notified of (1) the collection of their contact information, (2) the purpose of its collection, and (3) the use of their contact information. All message recipients must also give explicit consent prior to receiving your call or message. The required record of consent differs depending on the nature of your message.
- Solicitation (e.g. promotions, promotional announcements, coupons, and deals):
NOTE: You are required to obtain prior express WRITTEN or ELECTRONIC consent to send solicitation messages via text or voice from each contact regardless of a previous or standing business relationship with the contact. See below for more details.- Non‑solicitation (e.g. reminders, alerts, and appointments):
NOTE: You are required to obtain prior express consent from each contact before you send messages regardless of a previous or standing business relationship with the contact. Such consent may be written or verbal but must be documented.
- Non‑solicitation (e.g. reminders, alerts, and appointments):
Purchasing a product or service from you, participating in an event, or “liking” or “following” your business on Facebook or Twitter does not constitute consent to receive messages from you, and cannot be a condition for opting in to receive messages from you. In addition, subscribers must specifically opt-in to receive text messages from you. If you require confirmation of opt-ins to your service but do not receive a response from a given contact, you do not have sufficient consent and may not send messages to that contact.
What constitutes prior express written consent? The revised TCPA rule defines prior express written consent as a written agreement, signed by the person receiving the call or text, with a “clear and conspicuous disclosure” that specifically authorizes the Sender to send communications using an automated system or artificial pre-recorded voice to the specific telephone number that has consented. Subscriber must not be required to sign the agreement as a condition of purchasing any property, goods or services. As indicated in the ESIGN Act, the required signature may be obtained via email, online form, text message, telephone keypad, or voice recording. For more details on the revised TCPA regulation.
In order to stay compliant with laws and regulations regarding consent and spam, you must agree to the following prior to sending messages:
- You agree that you will not access or otherwise use any third-party list of email addresses or phone numbers or otherwise engage in unsolicited messaging in connection with DealerTxt's service.
- You agree to all terms set forth in DealerTxt's Import Agreement, Privacy Policy and Anti-Spam Policy.
- You agree that you will import, add, edit, access and otherwise use in connection with DealerTxt’s service only contact information with proof, which you shall retain, of each subscriber’s’ prior express written consent to receive solicitation from you. DealerTxt reserves the right, at its sole and absolute discretion, to deny access to import functions, to impose a stringent qualification process, to require proof of consent of opt-in method, or to require documentation of you or your organization’s legal identity.
- You agree to represent truthfully your identity, the identity of your organization, your product or service, availability, pricing, benefits, and any other offering aspects to your subscribers in all messages.
- You agree to comply with all local, state, and federal regulations as well as general practices governing your content or promotion type.
- You agree that any data in your database may be altered by DealerTxt at the subscriber’s request due to CCPA, GDPR, and other data protection laws.
- DealerTxt has a no-tolerance policy toward spam. DealerTxt does not assume the duty or obligation to monitor messages. However, DealerTxt reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to monitor any and all messages created or sent by you or any third party at any time without prior notice to ensure that they conform to guidelines and policies pertaining to DealerTxt’s Website and services.
- Evading DealerTxt’s monitoring system or the transmission of spam messages through the system violates these Terms of Use. If you know of or suspect any violators, please notify us immediately.
