Mobile Messaging – SMS Policy

This SMS Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share your personal information in connection with our SMS/text message program. By opting in to receive SMS messages from us, you agree to the terms described here and our main Privacy Policy.

What Information We Collect

When you opt in to receive SMS messages, we collect your mobile phone number (and any metadata required for message delivery and routing).
We may collect information about how you interact with our SMS messages (for example, whether you open them, click links, reply, etc.).
If applicable, we may collect information from your browsing behaviour (e.g. via cookies, website analytics) to inform SMS messaging (for example, to detect when a shopping cart is abandoned).
If location-based messaging is used, we may collect location information (with your consent).

Use of Your Information

We use your information for the following purposes:

To send you transactional or promotional SMS messages (e.g. order confirmations, product/order notifications, special offers, information about your order/experience).
To manage your subscription preferences (e.g. opt-out, frequency).
To analyse performance and optimise the SMS Program (e.g. delivery rates, engagement).
If we use abandoned-cart SMS, to determine when a cart is abandoned and send a reminder. (This may rely on cookies or tracking of your website session.)
To comply with legal obligations and enforce our policies.

Consent, Opt-In, and Opt-Out

You must explicitly opt in to receive SMS messages (for example, by checking a box or entering your number in a form).
You can revoke your consent at any time by replying “STOP” to any SMS message, or by following the instructions in the message or on our website.
After you opt out, we will not send further promotional SMS messages. We may send a final confirmation message acknowledging your opt-out.
If you change your mobile number, you should notify us so we can update your information.
Occasionally, we will use soft-opt in when an SMS relates to your booking or ticket. This is to ensure that you have the necessary information ahead of your experience/event.

Third-Party Sharing & Data Processors

We may share your personal information (including your mobile phone number and SMS opt-in status) with third-party service providers (e.g. SMS platform providers, carriers, analytics partners) only as needed to provide the SMS service.
We will not share your SMS opt-in status or phone number with third parties for purposes unrelated to the SMS Program (e.g. marketing by others) without additional consent.
Any third parties we use are contractually bound to safeguard your data and use it only for purposes consistent with this Policy.

We will describe clearly how location data is collected, stored, and used.
You will be asked for clear consent before we collect or use location information.
You may disable location-based services or opt out of location-based SMS at any time.

Data Retention & Security

We will retain your mobile number and SMS-related data for as long as necessary to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, or as otherwise described in our main Privacy Policy.
We employ administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Abandoned Cart Disclosure

We use cookies, plugins, or website session tracking to monitor products added to your cart. If you leave items in your cart without completing purchase (“abandoned cart”), we may send you a reminder via SMS using the phone number you provided.
