SMS Messaging and Opt-In Policy

​

This SMS Messaging and Opt-In Policy explains how Oysterbay Integrated Services, Inc. (“Oysterbay,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) obtains consent and sends text messages through its products and services.

PLEYSMART is a product operated by Oysterbay Integrated Services, Inc.

Participation in any Oysterbay SMS messaging program is optional. We send recurring text messages only to recipients who have provided appropriate consent for the applicable messaging program.
 

1. PLEYSMART SMS Messaging Program

PLEYSMART is a student participation, volunteering, team-development, educational, and fundraising platform operated by Oysterbay Integrated Services, Inc.

Users may choose to receive text messages concerning their PLEYSMART accounts and activities.

Depending on the consent provided, PLEYSMART messages may include:

  • Account verification and security notifications

  • Registration confirmations

  • Fundraiser participation updates

  • Fundraising progress and milestone notifications

  • Team or unit participation and activity updates

  • Contribution or payment confirmations

  • Volunteer activity and verification updates

  • Event reminders

  • Customer-support communications

  • Important platform or service updates

PLEYSMART will not use consent for informational messages as consent for unrelated promotional or marketing messages.
 

2. How Users Opt In

Users opt in through an online form displayed during PLEYSMART account registration.

The user:

  1. Enters their own mobile telephone number.

  2. Reviews the SMS disclosure.

  3. Affirmatively selects an optional checkbox that is unchecked by default.

  4. Submits the form to record their consent.

Providing a mobile telephone number alone does not constitute consent to receive recurring SMS messages.

Users are not required to consent to SMS messaging to create an account, participate in a fundraiser, make a contribution, purchase anything, or use PLEYSMART.
 

3. Consent Language

The PLEYSMART opt-in form displays the following disclosure:

SMS notifications from PLEYSMART (optional)
By checking this box, I agree to receive text messages from PLEYSMART, a product of Oysterbay Integrated Services, Inc., regarding my account, fundraiser participation, team activity, contribution confirmations, volunteer activities, and platform updates. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.
Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for assistance. Consent is not a condition of making a contribution, participating in a fundraiser, purchasing anything, or using PLEYSMART. View our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

The SMS checkbox is optional and is not selected by default.

4. Consent Records

Oysterbay maintains records of SMS consent, which may include:

  • The mobile number provided

  • The date and time of consent

  • The form or location where consent was provided

  • The version of the consent language displayed

  • The applicable messaging program

  • Consent status

  • Opt-out date and method, when applicable

Consent applies only to the person who owns or is authorized to use the mobile number and who personally completes the opt-in process.

5. Fundraiser Invitations and Uploaded Contacts

A PLEYSMART user, fundraiser organizer, student, volunteer, or team member may not provide recurring SMS consent on behalf of another person.

Uploading, importing, or manually entering another person’s telephone number does not constitute that person’s consent to receive recurring PLEYSMART messages.

PLEYSMART does not treat an uploaded supporter, donor, parent, student, volunteer, or contact list as proof of SMS consent.

A recipient must complete an approved opt-in process before receiving recurring SMS messages.
 

6. Informational and Promotional Messages

Consent to receive account, transactional, or informational messages does not automatically authorize PLEYSMART to send promotional or marketing messages.

If PLEYSMART introduces promotional SMS messages, it will present a separate, clearly identified consent option where required.

Declining promotional messages will not prevent a user from receiving separately authorized account or service notifications.
 

7. Message Frequency

Message frequency varies based on account activity, fundraiser participation, team activity, transactions, selected preferences, and the type of notifications authorized.

PLEYSMART does not guarantee a specific number of messages.

Message and data rates may apply according to the recipient’s mobile carrier and service plan.
 

8. How to Opt Out

Recipients may opt out of the PLEYSMART SMS messaging program at any time by replying:

STOP
 

After receiving an opt-out request, PLEYSMART may send one final confirmation message. No additional messages will be sent through that SMS program unless the recipient subsequently provides new consent.

Recipients may also communicate a reasonable request to stop messages by contacting Oysterbay using the information below.

Opting out of SMS does not automatically close a PLEYSMART account or prevent the user from receiving essential communications through other channels, such as email or in-app notifications.
 

9. How to Request Help

Recipients may reply:

HELP

The HELP response will provide information about the messaging program and how to contact us.

Users may also request assistance at:

10. Sample PLEYSMART Messages

Messages sent through the PLEYSMART program may resemble the following:

PLEYSMART: Your account registration is confirmed. Sign in to continue setting up your profile. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for assistance.

PLEYSMART: Your fundraiser has reached a new milestone. Sign in to review your progress. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for assistance.

PLEYSMART: Your team participation has been confirmed. Visit your dashboard for details. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for assistance.

PLEYSMART: Your contribution has been received. Sign in to review your confirmation. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for assistance.

PLEYSMART identifies itself at the beginning of its text messages so recipients can recognize the product sending the communication.
 

11. Privacy and Mobile Information

Oysterbay does not sell, rent, or share mobile telephone numbers, SMS opt-in data, or SMS consent records with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes.

Mobile information may be disclosed to communications providers and other service providers solely as necessary to deliver, operate, secure, and support the requested messaging program.

SMS consent is not transferred to third parties for their independent marketing or promotional use.

For more information about how Oysterbay handles personal information, review our Privacy Policy.
 

12. Terms of Service

Use of PLEYSMART and participation in the PLEYSMART SMS messaging program are also subject to Oysterbay’s Terms of Service.
 

13. Changes to This Policy

Oysterbay may update this policy periodically to reflect changes to its messaging programs, legal requirements, or business practices.

The updated policy will be posted with a revised “Last Updated” date. When required, we will provide additional notice or obtain new consent before materially changing the types of messages covered by an existing consent.
