Southern Patio and Screen SMS Consent
This page documents the exact verbal disclosure and affirmative opt-in workflow Southern Patio and Screen employees use before adding a customer to the Southern Patio SMS program.
- Effective:
- July 2026
- Version:
- SMS Consent Script Version 1.0
Program description
Southern Patio and Screen uses SMS to communicate with customers who have agreed to receive text messages. Messages may include estimate appointment confirmations and reminders, scheduling changes, estimate and quote follow-ups, project and installation updates, customer-support conversations, review requests, and occasional promotional or seasonal offers.
Verbal consent process
- A customer calls or speaks with a Southern Patio and Screen employee to request an estimate, schedule an appointment, discuss a quote or project, or request customer support.
- Before enrolling the customer, the employee reads the complete verbal SMS disclosure.
- The employee asks for a clear yes-or-no response.
- Only an explicit affirmative response results in SMS enrollment.
- A no, silence, or ambiguous response is treated as no consent.
- The customer may still request an estimate, schedule service, or make a purchase without agreeing to SMS.
- After consent, Southern Patio records:
- the mobile number;
- the consent method;
- the consent date and time;
- the employee or representative; and
- the disclosure or script version.
