This page documents how recipients consent to receive text messages under SquareKeeper's
restroom alert SMS program, “SquareKeeper Restroom Manager.”
It describes the opt-in method used by participating businesses — a verbal consent
script, with the consent recorded in the Restroom Manager app — the enrollment
confirmation, and the full program disclosures, and is published as a public reference
for recipients, participating businesses, and messaging carriers.
Who receives these messages
Recipients are a participating business's own staff and managers — for example, the
people who look after the restrooms at a restaurant, gas station, retail store, gym or
office. A customer who finds a problem scans a QR sign by the restroom door and reports it
on a web page; staff who agreed to text alerts receive a text naming the business, the
restroom and the problem (for example, needs cleaning or supplies low), so someone can take
care of it. Messages are operational alerts only. SquareKeeper does not send marketing,
advertising, or promotional messages, and mobile numbers are never sold, rented, or shared
with third parties for their marketing purposes. Customers who report a problem never
receive texts.
How consent is collected
Consent is always collected before any message is sent, and enforcement is built into the
product:
- The business owner asks the staff member or manager, using the consent script
reproduced below.
- Only an explicit “yes” proceeds. The owner then enters the person's mobile
number in the Restroom Manager app and actively checks a consent box —
unchecked by default — beside the consent statement reproduced
below. Saving records the consent event with a server timestamp, the owner's account
and the statement version.
- A person may be added without SMS consent — they receive alerts by phone
notification in the app and by email only. The system enforces this: no text can be
sent to any number until the consent event is recorded.
- When consent is recorded, the number's first message is an enrollment confirmation
that identifies the program and includes opt-out instructions (reproduced below).
- Replying STOP ends all texts immediately. Replying
HELP returns support information.
SMS consent is voluntary and is not a condition of employment or of any
purchase — the same alerts are also available by email and in the app.
Verbal opt-in — the consent script
The business owner asks, in person or by phone, in English or Spanish:
“SquareKeeper Restroom Manager can text you when a customer reports a restroom
problem here at [business]. Texts come during our open hours, as often as reports come
in. Message and data rates may apply. You can reply STOP at any time to opt out, or HELP
for help. Texting is optional: you can get the same alerts by email or in the app
instead. May we text you at [number]?”
“SquareKeeper Restroom Manager le puede enviar un mensaje de texto cuando un
cliente reporte un problema en un baño aquí en [negocio]. Los mensajes
llegan durante nuestro horario, cada vez que hay un reporte. Pueden aplicar tarifas de
mensajes y datos. Puede responder STOP en cualquier momento para cancelar, o HELP para
obtener ayuda. Los mensajes de texto son opcionales: puede recibir los mismos avisos por
correo electrónico o en la app. ¿Podemos enviarle mensajes al
[número]?”
The consent statement in the app
After an explicit “yes,” the owner records the consent in the Restroom Manager
app by checking a box, unchecked by default, beside this statement:
“This person agreed to receive recurring restroom alert texts from SquareKeeper
Restroom Manager at this number. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may
apply. They can reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help. Consent is not a condition of
employment or of any purchase.”
“Esta persona aceptó recibir mensajes de texto recurrentes con avisos de
baños de SquareKeeper Restroom Manager en este número. La frecuencia de los
mensajes varía. Pueden aplicar tarifas de mensajes y datos. Puede responder STOP
para cancelar o HELP para obtener ayuda. Aceptar no es condición de empleo ni de
ninguna compra.”
Hosted opt-in evidence
The consent statement above appears in the app exactly as reproduced, in the language the
app runs in, beside a consent box that is unchecked by default. The recorded consent event
(date, statement version, and the owner account that recorded it) is stored in SquareKeeper
and enforced before any text is sent.
