This page describes how RexRuby collects SMS consent — both from business owners who subscribe to the RexRuby platform, and from consumers who interact with businesses powered by RexRuby.

Section 1 — RexRuby Business Owner Opt-In

How Business Owners Opt In to RexRuby SMS

Business owners opt in to receive SMS messages from RexRuby (account notifications, onboarding updates, billing alerts) during the account signup process at rexruby.ai/onboarding. The onboarding form collects the owner's phone number and requires explicit SMS consent via an unchecked checkbox before the account can be created.

How Consumers Opt In

Consumers provide consent to receive text messages from a RexRuby-powered business through one or more of the following clearly documented mechanisms. Consent is always obtained before any messages are sent.

💬
Opt-In Method 1
Consumer-Initiated Text Message

When a consumer sends the first text message to a business's RexRuby-powered phone number, they are initiating a conversation. Rex (the AI booking agent) replies to assist with their inquiry. On first contact, Rex sends an automatic disclosure so the consumer can provide express consent to continue receiving messages.

On first contact, Rex sends an automatic disclosure message:

"Hi! I'm Rex, [Business Name]'s AI assistant. I can help with booking and questions. Msg frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. By continuing this conversation, you consent to receive automated messages from [Business Name]."

This method applies to: appointment inquiries, service questions, scheduling requests, and any other consumer-initiated SMS conversation.

📋
Opt-In Method 2
Website Form / Intake Form (Prior Express Written Consent)

Businesses collect prior express written consent from their clients through intake forms, booking forms, or website sign-up forms. This consent authorizes the business to send appointment reminders, follow-up messages, retention outreach, and promotional messages via RexRuby's platform.

The following consent checkbox language is required on all forms:

Consumer Opt-In Form — Optional, not required to book
(555) 000-0000
By providing your phone number, you agree to receive automated SMS messages from [Business Name], including appointment confirmations, reminders, follow-ups, promotional offers, marketing messages, birthday messages, and satisfaction surveys. You are opting in to receive marketing text messages. Message frequency varies (up to 8 msgs/month). Standard Message and Data Rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out at any time. Reply HELP for help. Consent is not a condition of purchase or service. We will not share mobile information with third parties for promotional or marketing purposes. SMS Terms · Privacy Policy

This consent checkbox is embedded in: booking forms on business websites, RexRuby webchat widgets, client intake forms (online and in-person), and the RexRuby onboarding flow for business owners. The checkbox is not pre-checked — the consumer must affirmatively check it.

Opt-In Method 3
In-Person / Point of Sale Consent

When clients visit a business in person, they may provide their phone number and SMS consent through paper intake forms or tablet-based check-in that includes the same written consent language and checkbox shown above. The business is required to collect signed or checked written acknowledgment and to record the consent in their client management system. RexRuby provides TCPA consent logging tools in the dashboard to help businesses maintain compliance records.
