7. Internal SMS Program Terms
CBLD operates an internal text messaging program used solely by CBLD employees for transactional business purposes. The following terms govern that program.
7.1 Program Description
The CBLD internal SMS program delivers transactional, business-operations text messages to enrolled CBLD employees. Current uses include automated credit card receipt notifications generated through an authorized application programming interface. The program is not used to send marketing or promotional messages, and is not made available to clients, vendors, or members of the public.
7.2 Eligibility and Opt-In
The program is available only to active CBLD employees. Employees opt in to the program during onboarding by providing their mobile telephone number and affirmatively consenting to receive text messages from CBLD as part of their job duties. Consent is recorded by CBLD’s Human Resources function.
7.3 Message Frequency
Messages are transactional and are sent only as needed in connection with the relevant business event (for example, when a credit card transaction occurs). Frequency varies and depends on the underlying business activity.
7.4 Message and Data Rates
Standard message and data rates may apply to each text message sent or received in connection with the program, in accordance with the rate plan the employee has with their wireless carrier. CBLD is not responsible for these charges.
7.5 Opt-Out
Enrolled employees may opt out of the program at any time by replying STOP to any program message. After opting out, the employee will receive a one-time confirmation message and will not receive further program messages. Employees who opt out and later wish to re-enroll may do so by contacting CBLD Human Resources.
7.6 Help
For assistance with the program, employees may reply HELP to any program message, or contact CBLD using the information in Section 11.
7.7 Carriers and Delivery
Wireless carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Message delivery is subject to the effective transmission from the network operator and is not guaranteed.
7.8 Privacy
Information collected in connection with the program is handled as described in our Privacy Policy. Mobile information and SMS opt-in consent data are not shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Mobile information may be shared only with service providers and subcontractors strictly as necessary to operate and support the program.
