SMS Two-Factor Authentication

LeadsOnline may use an SMS/text message service to send one-time verification codes as part of a two-factor authentication (2FA) process to help secure your account.

Consent and Opt-In. Participation in SMS 2FA is consent-based. By enabling or activating the 2FA feature in your account settings, you are consenting to receive SMS verification codes from LeadsOnline. Your consent is not a condition of purchasing any product or service.

Purpose Limitation. SMS messages sent for 2FA purposes are used solely for account security. They will not be used for marketing, promotional, or any other unrelated purpose.

Opt-Out. You may opt out of SMS 2FA at any time by disabling the feature in your account settings or by replying STOP to any SMS message sent by LeadsOnline. You may also revoke consent through any other reasonable means, including by emailing privacy@LeadsOnline.com, calling our support line, or submitting a request through our website. We will honor opt-out requests as promptly as practicable. Reply HELP to any SMS message for assistance. Please note that disabling 2FA may reduce the security of your account. To continue accessing certain features or services, you may be required to enable and use an alternative multi-factor authentication or comparable security measure.

Message and Data Rates. Standard message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier and plan. Message frequency varies. LeadsOnline is not responsible for any charges incurred from your carrier.

SMS Marketing and Transactional Communications

LeadsOnline may also send other SMS/text messages to you, including transactional messages (such as account notifications and customer support responses) and marketing or promotional messages as permitted by law.

Consent and Opt-In. Before sending you marketing or promotional text messages, LeadsOnline will obtain your prior express written consent. When requesting your consent, we will clearly disclose: (a) that you are agreeing to receive automated marketing text messages from LeadsOnline; (b) that consent is not a condition of purchasing any product or service; (c) the approximate frequency of messages; and (d) how to opt out. Transactional and informational messages (such as account alerts, order confirmations, and customer support responses) may be sent based on prior express consent or our existing relationship with you, consistent with applicable law.

This media may be used for informational, publicity, promotional, and/or reporting purposes in print or electronic communications. Your image and voice may be recorded and, if you are identified or identify yourself by name, that information may be included. Recordings may be edited, copied, exhibited, published, or distributed. Attendees who do not wish to be photographed or recorded should notify a LeadsOnline staff member at the event.

Badge Scanning by Exhibitors. Exhibitors may wish to scan your badge to follow up with more information. By allowing an exhibitor to scan your badge, you are consenting to LeadsOnline sharing your registration data (such as name and contact details) with that exhibitor. You may then be contacted by the exhibitor after the event. If you do not wish to be contacted, please communicate this directly to the exhibitor at the event or thereafter.
