How we collect your consent

SMS appointment reminders are strictly opt-in. When you book an appointment through any Badgercal scheduling page, the Client Details step contains an SMS opt-in checkbox. The checkbox is unchecked by default and is never required to complete a booking. Messaging consent is collected as a distinct, separate action; it is not bundled with our Terms of Service or Privacy Policy. You can complete a booking with the box left unchecked and will not receive any SMS messages.

Below is the exact opt-in module that appears on the public booking form at badgercal.com/book/schedule/details. The copy, default state, and disabled-until-phone-entered behavior shown here are identical to what end users see in production.

SMS appointment reminders (optional)

Consent is not required to book this appointment.

I agree to receive SMS text messages from Badgercal at the phone number above for appointment reminders, confirmations, and rescheduling links. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help, or STOP to cancel at any time.

Your mobile number and SMS opt-in are used only to send you the messages described above. They are not shared with third parties for marketing.

Default state shown. The checkbox is unchecked, is disabled until the booker enters a phone number, and never blocks form submission. Leaving it unchecked results in no SMS messages whatsoever.

Carriers and privacy

Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Messages are sent via our SMS provider (Twilio) and are subject to your carrier's coverage and rates.

Mobile information including phone numbers and SMS opt-in status will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information sharing to subcontractors in support of the messaging program (for example, our SMS delivery provider) is permitted only to the extent necessary to deliver the messages you have opted in to receive. For full details on how we handle personal information, including SMS data, see our Privacy Policy.
