We may share your Personal Data, including your SMS opt-in data or consent status, with third parties that help us provide our messaging services, including but not limited to platform providers, phone companies, and any other vendors who assist us in the delivery of text messages. We only share data when necessary:

With service providers like shipping carriers, payment processors, and marketing tools

When legally required or to protect our rights
-
In the event of a business transfer, merger, or sale (we’ll notify you if that happens)
5. Your Rights & Choices
a. SMS/Text Messaging Program
- When you opt in to receive SMS or text messages from Pepper Pout, you consent to receive recurring automated marketing and transactional text messages at the phone number you provided. Consent is not a condition of purchase. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.
- You may opt out of SMS messages at any time by replying STOP to any message. For help, reply HELP or contact us at hello@pepperpout.beauty.
- We collect your phone number and SMS consent to send you promotional offers, order updates, cart reminders, and other communications related to your Pepper Pout experience. Your phone number and SMS consent data will be used solely for these purposes and will not be sold to or shared with third parties for their own marketing use.
- We may collect and use approximate location data derived from your IP address, shipping address, or mobile device (if you have enabled location services) to send you location-relevant text messages, such as promotions tied to regional availability, local events, or shipping-related updates. We do not sell location data. You may disable location services on your device at any time through your device settings, though this will not affect SMS messages triggered by non-location data (e.g., cart activity or order status).

Access and correct your personal information
