12. SMS / Text Messaging Program
4 Seasons Golf Tour operates an SMS (text message) program that sends transactional, customer-care messages to customers who have booked, or inquired about booking, a golf travel package. This section describes how we collect, use, and protect information related to our SMS program.
Types of Messages You May Receive
- Phone-number verification codes (one-time passcodes) during account sign-up.
- A secure Stripe payment link for your 30% deposit when you request checkout by SMS.
- Booking confirmation messages after a successful payment.
- A payment reminder approximately 5 days before the remaining balance on your booking is due.
All messages are automated transactional messages. We do NOT send marketing, promotional, or advertising SMS messages.
How We Collect Your Consent
We only send SMS messages to phone numbers whose owner has given us express prior consent. Consent is collected (a) by entering your phone number and checking the SMS-consent box on our checkout page to request a payment link, (b) by submitting your phone number during account sign-up and completing phone verification, or (c) by providing your phone number on an inquiry or contact form so our team can follow up. Consent to receive SMS is never a condition of purchase.
Message Frequency
Message frequency varies and depends on your activity. A typical customer receives fewer than 5 messages per booking transaction.
Message and Data Rates
Message and data rates may apply. The cost of messages is determined by your mobile carrier plan; 4 Seasons Golf Tour is not responsible for these charges.
Opt-Out and Help Instructions
You may opt out of our SMS program at any time by replying STOP to any message you receive from us. After you send STOP, we will send a final confirmation and will not send you any further SMS messages unless you opt back in. You may also reply HELP for assistance, or contact us at info@4sgtour.com.
No Sharing of SMS Consent or Mobile Data
No mobile information, phone numbers, or SMS opt-in consent data will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Phone numbers and SMS consent collected through our website are used solely to deliver the transactional messages described above. We may share phone numbers with service providers strictly necessary to deliver these messages (for example, Twilio as our SMS delivery platform and Supabase for authentication), who are contractually bound to protect your information and may not use it for their own marketing.
How We Protect SMS Data
Phone numbers and SMS consent records are stored in our secured database, transmitted over encrypted (TLS/SSL) connections, and accessible only to authorized personnel who need the information to provide customer service.
