SMS/Text Message Service Alert Notifications 

 

Program Description 

DataVox offers an SMS service alert notification program that sends automated text messages to enrolled customers regarding service outages, scheduled maintenance windows, and service restoration updates. These messages are informational only and are not used for marketing, advertising, or promotional purposes. 

 

Consent and Enrollment  

By providing your mobile phone number and opting in to the SMS service alert program, you consent to receive automated text messages from DataVox at the mobile number you provide. Consent is not a condition of purchasing any goods or services. You may enroll by responding to a DataVox enrollment communication or through your service agreement. Your consent is limited to non-marketing, informational service alerts related to outages, maintenance, and restoration; it does not include consent for marketing or promotional texts. 

 

Message Frequency 

Message frequency varies based on service events. You will only receive messages related to outages, maintenance, or restoration affecting your services. 

 

Opt-Out 

You may opt out of SMS service alerts at any time by replying STOP to any message. Upon receipt of your STOP request, you will receive a single confirmation message, and no further SMS messages will be sent. To re-enroll, reply START. For assistance, reply HELP or contact legalnotices@datavox.net. Standardized keywords: STOP to cancel; START to re-enroll; HELP for support. Message and data rates may apply.

Each SMS message will identify DataVox as the sender and include support contact information or a reference to HELP for assistance. For support, contact legalnotices@datavox.net or 713-881-7107.

Message and data rates may apply. DataVox is not responsible for any charges incurred from your mobile carrier for receiving text messages. 

 

Data Use 

Mobile phone numbers collected for the SMS service alert program will be used solely for the purpose of delivering service-related notifications. DataVox will not sell, rent, or share your mobile phone number with third parties for marketing purposes. Mobile numbers are transmitted to Microsoft Azure Communication Services solely for the purpose of SMS delivery. We maintain records of consent, enrollment, and opt-out requests for SMS alerts and periodically audit our consent and opt-out logs to confirm compliance with our policies and applicable law. 

 

Data Retention for SMS Alerts 

We retain mobile phone numbers used for SMS service alerts and related consent/opt-out logs for 12 months after the later of (a) your last message activity or (b) termination of your enrollment, unless a longer retention period is required to comply with legal obligations or to resolve disputes. Thereafter, mobile numbers are deleted or de-identified consistent with our retention schedule. 

 

Data Retention for Contact Form Submissions and Analytics 

We retain personal information submitted through contact and inquiry forms on our website for twelve (12) months following submission, or until the applicable sales or support relationship concludes, unless a longer period is required by law or needed to resolve disputes. Analytics data collected via third-party tracking technologies (Google Analytics, LeadLander, and YouTube) is subject to the retention settings of those third-party platforms; DataVox does not independently retain raw analytics data beyond what those platforms provide. 

 

Tracking Technologies, Cookies, and Web Beacons 

DataVox’s website uses tracking technologies, including cookies, pixels, tags, and web beacons. When you visit datavox.net, the website automatically initiates third-party network requests that transmit your IP address and device/browser identifiers to the following services: Google Analytics 4 (website analytics), Google Ads (conversion measurement), and LeadLander (website visitor identification). These requests are initiated upon page load as part of the website’s ordinary operation. Pages on this website may also contain embedded YouTube video players; when such pages load, YouTube (a Google service) may set cookies and collect data in accordance with Google’s privacy policy. DataVox may also include web beacons in promotional email messages to determine whether messages have been opened. 

These third-party services may use cookies and similar technologies to recognize your device across sessions and compile information about your visits to our website and other websites. You may manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. DataVox has deployed a cookie consent management platform (Cookiebot) that presents a consent banner to users on first visit and blocks non-essential trackers until consent is provided, consistent with California Penal Code § 638.51.
