Legal note
For SMS compliance, if you’re using platforms such as Twilio, RingCentral, Constant Contact, Mailchimp, or HubSpot, you’ll also want a separate Privacy Policy that specifically states how phone numbers are collected, stored, and used, since most carriers now require both a Terms & Conditions page and a Privacy Policy for A2P 10DLC text messaging registration.
