Under the GDPR regulation, consent must be explicit for data collected and the purposes data is used for.
• How customers withdraw consent to receive text messages – CartRescue is a one-time messaging service. Customers give consent to receive the first message, and, after each message that CartRescue sends to a customer, that customer is placed on a do-not contact list. If they respond asking not to be texted, then they are assured they are not on a marketing list. If the customer wishes to receive another one-time message from the service, they can do so by opting in again 6 months after the first time they gave consent.
• How long we keep customer data – We are committed to keeping customer records for no longer than necessary. Since 90% of customers who repurchase do so within 5 years, we keep individual customer information for at least 5 years unless we are specifically asked to delete it from our system.
