FAQs

  • Can I still run SMS campaigns with the new GDPR?

    Yes, it simply protects the user more and clarifies information about the data that companies collect and the processing involved. However, it has never been possible to send communications by SMS without the explicit consent of the user.

  • Yes, in fact, it's a very effective channel for this due to the great open rate it has. This means that it's more difficult for the message to remain unread and for the user not to confirm consent, so you can establish communications with them.
