Privacy Policy
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us, including:
- Account registration information (name, email address, password)
- Business information (company name, address, phone number)
- Customer data you input into the platform, including customer phone numbers used for appointment, job, and invoice SMS
- Payment information (processed securely by Stripe — we do not store card numbers)
- Communications you send to us
We also automatically collect certain technical information when you use the Service, including IP addresses, browser type, device information, and usage data.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To provide, maintain, and improve the Service
- To process transactions and send related information
- To send administrative and operational notifications
- To send SMS about appointments, jobs, and invoices when a shop and its customer have opted in
- To honor STOP opt-out requests and HELP requests for the SMS program
- To respond to your comments and questions
- To monitor and analyze usage patterns to improve the Service
- To detect and prevent fraudulent or unauthorized activity
- To comply with legal obligations
3. SMS Program and Phone Numbers
Shops message customers about appointments, jobs, and invoices through the CRM. DispatchHQ processes those phone numbers only to deliver that shop's messages and to honor opt-out.
Public SMS from DispatchHQ is not live today. Sender numbers are parked pending carrier approval. This website does not collect mobile numbers for texts, and we do not publish a public SMS phone number.
A shop opts into DispatchHQ by creating an account and accepting the Terms of Service. Signing up or joining the email waitlist is not consent to receive marketing SMS from DispatchHQ. A customer opts in when they give a shop their mobile number and agree to receive texts about their appointments, jobs, or invoices. That happens when they confirm a booking on that shop's public booking page, or when they agree and the shop records that consent in the CRM. Consent is not a condition of purchase. A shop may text a customer only after that consent, and only after a sender number is approved.
Mobile opt-in data, including phone numbers collected for SMS, will not be shared or sold to third parties, affiliates, or lead generators for marketing or promotional purposes. DispatchHQ does not sell opt-in lists and is not a lead generator.
- Opt-in: a customer provides a number and consents before SMS is sent.
- Reply STOP to opt out
- Reply HELP for help
- Message frequency varies
- Message and data rates may apply
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:
- Service providers — Stripe (payments), Twilio (SMS), SendGrid (email), and cloud infrastructure providers who assist in operating the Service
- Legal requirements — when required by law or to protect our rights
- Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets
Mobile opt-in data, including phone numbers collected for SMS, will not be shared or sold to third parties, affiliates, or lead generators for marketing or promotional purposes. DispatchHQ does not sell opt-in lists and is not a lead generator.
5. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS), encryption at rest, access controls, and regular security reviews. DispatchHQ is not SOC 2 certified. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Data Retention
We retain your account data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. If you cancel your account, we will delete your personal data within 90 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or regulatory purposes.

You have the right to:
- Access and receive a copy of your personal data
- Correct inaccurate personal data
- Request deletion of your personal data

8. AI Features and Data Processing
DispatchHQ uses artificial intelligence to power features including business intelligence and automated recommendations. Voice agents are not a shipped live calling product. When you interact with AI features:
- Your conversations and inputs are processed by third-party AI providers (including Anthropic, Google AI, and others)
- AI providers process your data according to their respective privacy policies and data processing agreements
- Your data is NOT used to train third-party AI models
- AI-generated outputs are not shared between different subscriber organizations
- Business intelligence features use ONLY publicly available data sources (Google reviews, public records, census data) — never data from other DispatchHQ subscribers
TCPA Consent Records: We maintain records of communication consent (SMS and voice) as required by the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. These records include the phone number, consent type, method of consent, timestamp, and proof reference. Consent records are retained for a minimum of 5 years after the last communication as required by law.
9. Cookies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to maintain your session, remember your preferences, and analyze usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling cookies may affect the functionality of the Service.
