3. SMS and Mobile Messaging Privacy
We do not sell or share your SMS opt-in data or personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
Mobile telephone numbers, SMS consent, and messaging opt-in information are not sold, rented, transferred, or shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes.
If you consent to receive text messages through FieldTechAgent or a business using FieldTechAgent, your mobile number and consent information may be processed by service providers that help us deliver and operate the messaging service. Those providers may process information only as necessary to provide services to us or the applicable business customer and are not authorized by FieldTechAgent to use your SMS consent for their own marketing.
Message frequency varies based on your appointments, service requests, account activity, and interactions. Message and data rates may apply. You may opt out of SMS messages at any time by replying STOP. For assistance, reply HELP or contact us at support@fieldtechagent.com.
Consent to receive SMS messages is not a condition of purchasing goods or services unless a particular service cannot reasonably be provided without the requested communication.
4. How We Share Information
We may share information only as reasonably necessary to operate the platform, provide requested services, protect users and the platform, complete business transactions, or comply with law. Examples may include:
- Service providers and subprocessors: communications, telephony, hosting, cloud infrastructure, scheduling, payment processing, email delivery, analytics, security, and other technology providers that support our services.
- FieldTechAgent business customers: when an individual contacts a home-service or field-service business using FieldTechAgent, information from that interaction may be provided to that business so it can respond, schedule service, manage the customer relationship, or perform requested work.
- Legal and safety disclosures: when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, security, users, or the public.
- Business transactions: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar corporate transaction, subject to applicable privacy obligations.
We do not sell personal information for money. Regardless of other sharing described in this Policy, SMS opt-in data and consent are not shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
5. FieldTechAgent as a Service Provider
Businesses may use FieldTechAgent to communicate with their own customers and prospects. In those situations, the business using FieldTechAgent may determine why and how personal information is collected and used, and FieldTechAgent may process that information on the business's behalf. Questions about a specific contractor's collection or use of your information should also be directed to that business.
6. Call Recordings, Transcripts, and AI Processing
Some FieldTechAgent services may use automated systems or artificial intelligence to answer calls, conduct chats, summarize conversations, assist with scheduling, or perform other requested workflows. Calls may be recorded or transcribed when enabled and permitted by applicable law. Businesses using FieldTechAgent are responsible for configuring and using recording features in compliance with laws that apply to them.
7. Cookies and Analytics
We may use cookies and similar technologies to maintain sessions, remember preferences, understand website usage, measure performance, prevent fraud, and improve our services. You may be able to control cookies through your browser settings, although disabling certain cookies can affect site functionality.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain business and transaction records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, maintain security, and support legitimate business operations. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the services being used.
9. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. No system, network, or method of transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
