SMS Authentication Policy
Purpose
We use SMS messaging solely for the purpose of two-factor authentication (2FA).
Information Collection
We do not collect, store, or use phone numbers submitted for SMS verification beyond the temporary delivery of a one-time passcode (OTP).
In the future, if we need to store or process phone numbers, we will update this policy and explicitly obtain user consent.
User Consent (Opt-in)
By entering your phone number on our website to log in or register, you consent to receive a one-time SMS verification code.
No marketing or promotional messages will be sent.
Opt-in Message
When you provide your phone number for verification purposes, you will receive the following message:
By providing your phone number, you agree to receive a one-time verification code via SMS from Earth Link Network. This number is only used for sending one-time passcodes for login verification. No marketing or recurring messages are sent. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for assistance.
Opt-out
These messages are one-time transactional verifications initiated by the user.
Therefore, an opt-out mechanism is not required in this context.
