5. A2P Messaging & Communications
When you provide consent for communications, we may send you automated messages through various channels based on your preferences.
Consent Process:
When you submit our contact form, you provide implied consent for transactional communications related to your inquiry. For marketing communications, we require explicit opt-in consent through a separate checkbox. All consent is logged in our system with your IP address, timestamp, and user agent for compliance verification.
Transactional vs Marketing Communications:
Transactional: Transactional messages (contact confirmations, project updates, service notifications) are sent based on implied consent when you submit our contact form, as they are necessary for service delivery.
Marketing: Marketing messages (newsletters, promotional offers, company updates) require explicit opt-in consent through a separate checkbox on our contact form. You can opt-out of marketing messages at any time without affecting transactional communications.
Types of Automated Messages:
- Transactional messages: Booking confirmations, project updates, invoices, service notifications
- Marketing messages: Newsletters, promotional offers, company updates (requires explicit opt-in)
- Emergency communications: Urgent project issues, security notifications
Third-Party Services:
We use GoHighLevel and other trusted service providers to deliver SMS and phone communications. These providers are bound by strict data protection agreements and only process your data as instructed by us.
Managing Your Preferences:
You can withdraw consent at any time by replying STOP to SMS messages, clicking unsubscribe in emails, or contacting us at contact\u0040zerio.se. Marketing consent can be withdrawn separately from transactional messages.
