16. SMS and Text Message Communications

16.1 Our Messaging Programme

Cloud WiFi Limited operates one transactional SMS notification programme. It is run through our consumer booking products table.fish and calendar.fish. Where a person makes a booking on one of those products and opts in, we may send them text messages about that booking only:

  • Confirmation when the booking is made
  • A reminder shortly before it
  • Notice if the booking is changed or cancelled

These are transactional and account-related messages. We do not send marketing or promotional text messages.

16.2 Consent and Opt-In

  • We send text messages only to individuals who have given prior express consent to receive them.
  • No account is required. Consent is collected on the booking form at table.fish or calendar.fish, which a venue shares as a link or a QR code. The opt-in checkbox is separate, is never pre-ticked, and a booking can be completed without it.
  • Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of purchase or of using the Service.
  • We do not purchase, rent, or otherwise acquire mobile telephone numbers from third-party lists.
  • Consent is given per booking. We retain a record of the date, time and method of each consent (see Section 11.1).

16.3 Message Frequency and Cost

  • Message frequency follows the bookings made: typically up to three messages per booking.
  • Message and data rates may apply. Your mobile carrier's standard rates apply to messages you send and receive; Cloud WiFi Limited does not charge you for these messages.
  • Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

16.4 How to Opt Out or Get Help

  • To opt out: reply STOP to any message you receive from us. You will receive a single confirmation message, and no further texts will be sent to that number.
  • To resume: reply START.
  • For help: reply HELP, or email support@cloud-wifi.co.
  • Opt-outs are enforced at the gateway, so a message to an opted-out number is never sent.
  • Opting out of text messages does not affect email notifications or your ability to use the Service.

16.5 How We Handle Mobile Information

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information sharing with subcontractors in support services, such as customer service, is permitted. All other use case categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

Specifically:

  • We do not sell, rent, or lease mobile telephone numbers.
  • We do not share mobile numbers or SMS consent records with any third party for that party's own marketing.
  • Mobile numbers are disclosed only to our messaging provider (Twilio) for the sole purpose of delivering messages you have consented to receive, under a Data Processing Agreement.
  • SMS opt-in data and consent records are never shared, sold, or transferred to third parties for any purpose.

16.6 Our Messaging Provider

Text messages are sent by table.fish or calendar.fish and delivered through Twilio Inc. (USA), acting as our data processor. Twilio receives your mobile telephone number and the message content solely to deliver the message, and returns delivery status information to us. Twilio may not use your data for its own purposes. See Section 8.1 and Section 9.2 for the safeguards applied to this transfer.
