User’s consent or opt-in

At Calilio, we regard the consent and opt-in of the customers very seriously. We do not want our customers to feel that their views, stances, and desires are not respected. With informed decision-making and personal choices, we enable our customers to agree or deny their consent. Customers' consent must be given freely, calculatingly assessed, and unambiguous. Consent must not be received through manipulation, forceful cohesion, and other inappropriate means.

We record the customer's consent for evidence in case of contract tampering, flouting rules and regulations, exploitation, data theft, identity crisis, conflicts of interest, and legal dilemma. We respect the customer’s right to accept or deny the messaging's collection, processing, and monitoring. The communications must always be appropriate per legal, moral, and ethical expectations.

To ensure that our customers adhere to the same standards, we require them to meet the following requirements when dealing with their users and customers:

• You must obtain the recipient's permission to communicate with them before sending your initial message. It must be made clear to the individual signing the document, occasionally referred to as 'consent,' what kinds of messages they are ready to receive. A copy of the document that the intended recipient of the communication signed should be kept as confirmation of consent, as should a time stamp of the customer's sign-up flow completed.

• Should you fail to communicate with the receiver within a certain time frame after receiving the first consent for the initial conversation. You should request subsequent consent again.

• The consent given is exclusive to the involved parties/individuals and must apply to the specific purpose or approved campaign. You shall not regard the consent for applicability in promoting other brands, products/services you endorse.

• Even after the end user decides not to receive messages, documentation of their opt-in permission must be preserved as local legislation or industry norms prescribe.

Alternative consent requirement

Apart from above mentioned consent criteria/requirement, alternative consent can be established in two ways, as discussed below:

Contact initiated by an individual

When another person starts contacting you, you can engage in dialogue with him/her/them. For instance, if a person asks about store opening hours, you may choose to facilitate a direct exchange of information. In such a scenario, inbound and outbound messaging can consist of consent and proof of consent. The consent only applies to the involved parties for that particular communication for a limited duration. Additional permission is needed to initiate conversation outside that particular dialogue communications.

Informational content to an individual based on a prior relationship

When communicating with a person with whom you've established past interaction and who hasn't yet expressed an intention to not hear from you but who has made some steps toward exploring the possibility of dialogue, you may send them a text message.

The actions include tapping a button, activating an alert, scheduling an appointment, or posting an order. Appointment alerts, invoices, unique passwords, order/shipping/reservation assurances, diners coordinating pick-up locations with riders, and technicians verifying service call times are examples of appropriate messages in such instances.

The message itself cannot attempt to market a product, encourage individuals to acquire something, or endorse a cause that benefits the community.

Periodic Messages and Message Frequency

Presenting an explicit indication of how to unsubscribe from your SMS campaign using standard opt-out language is an effective method to confirm the recipient's consent if you intend to send them communications frequently. Moreover, you must acknowledge the message recipient's choices for how often you interact with them. In keeping with local regulations and business standards, you must actively encourage people to confirm their approval.

The users can choose the frequency of the message themselves on the ground of several incoming messages and preferred messaging limits. Based on the user’s consent, the frequency of communication can be daily, hourly, or essential only updates. Instead of constantly updating customers, frequency filtering prevents annoyance, boredom, and difficulty sorting the incoming messages.

Identify Yourself as the Sender

You should ensure your identity as the sender so the receiver can instantly identify you for every subsequent communication except in follow-up messages of an ongoing conversation.

Additional Restrictions on Messaging/Prohibited Messaging

Apart from the restraints mentioned above, Calilio mandates additional restrictions are imposed on sharing messages comprising of :

• Pornography, malware, virus, obscene, harassing, exploitative and defamatory messages, and spam

• Impersonation, disinformation, scams, phishing, or any false message used to trick consumers into revealing their or another individual's private data, including but not limited to health, well-being, or financial details

• Transmission of malicious and suspicious contents and materials, including malware, virus, and trojan horses

• Contents promoting sales, consumption, promotion, and use of heavy drugs, CBD, sedatives, firearms, weapons, and vapes, whether they contain images, textual representation, and links or not

• Communication concerning rape, molestations, prescription medications, gambling, third-party loans, sanctions, adult service engagement, firearms, and explosives.

• Messages concerning loan collection, availability of interest-based loans, credit repair and access, get-rich schemes, and cryptocurrency dealings ( based on national, regional, and international laws)

• Discrimination, abusive or predatory material, hate speech, or correspondence from aggressive groups.

• Message content promoting, inciting sales of user information to the third party.

• Anything which intentionally bypasses filtration and censoring.

It's crucial to remember that people can withdraw their agreement at any moment by answering with a common opt-out term. You can deliver their request has been processed. Any future messages must wait until the person gives their permission again.
