Local Rewards (“we,” “our,” or “us”) provides SMS rewards balance notification services on behalf of participating merchants. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect personal information in connection with our rewards balance notification program.
When a consumer enrolls in rewards balance notifications at a participating merchant's point-of-sale, we collect:
We do not purchase, rent, or obtain mobile numbers from third parties.
Mobile numbers are used solely to send informational SMS messages related to the consumer's rewards account with the specific merchant where enrollment occurred. Messages may include:
We do not send promotional, advertising, sales, or marketing messages under this program.
Each enrollment is specific to the single merchant where the consumer provided their number. Mobile numbers are not used across unrelated merchants and are not transferred between merchant programs.
Consumers enroll by entering their mobile number at the merchant's point-of-sale and selecting Confirm on a forward-facing screen displaying the SMS disclosure.
After submission, the consumer receives a confirmation message and must reply YES to confirm consent. No rewards balance messages are sent unless the YES confirmation is received and recorded.
Consent records, including timestamp and confirmation response, are retained.
Mobile information will not be shared, sold, rented, transferred, or disclosed to third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. We do not engage in:
Mobile information is used only to provide rewards balance notifications associated with the merchant where enrollment occurred.
Message frequency varies based on account activity. Message and data rates may apply according to the consumer’s mobile carrier plan. Mobile carriers are not responsible for delayed or undelivered messages.
Consumers may opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message.
For assistance, consumers may reply HELP.
Upon receipt of a STOP request, no further messages will be sent.
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect mobile information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any updates will be posted with a revised effective date.
